Using a means-end approach basically means looking at a target, which is the starting point, and figuring out the best way to get from point A to point B by breaking down the list of issues to make them more feasible on a daily basis.

Pinpoint the desired result and describe it in a few lines.

Before taking any actions, add some pre-conditions with a short description that will support you attain the final outcome.
