That question in itself moves you away from LoA results. It limits you to only 2 possibilities, and it asks you (your ego self) to judge whether an activity is moving you towards your target or away from it, whereas LoA believers know that when your intuition tells you to DO something, you just DO it, even if the action doesn't seem to logically move you towards your goals.
I'll give you an example. Lets say my GOAL (according to simpleology) is to get a black belt in my martial arts by such and such date. My Thursday training day arrives and I'm about to go to class, but I get a really bad feeling about going. I search my soul to see if this is fear or my intuition telling me something. I decide to skip class and go home that day. Simpleology would tell you that you "failed" because you moved AWAY from your goal that day by "skipping class". HOWEVER, LoA is different. Perhaps that night I was going to get INJURED in class which would have set me back 6 months. OR there was an accident on the bridge and I would have gotten stuck in traffic and missed class anyways, so instead LoA / Intuition moved me towards going home instead and watching a DVD on my martial arts training from our Grandmaster.
My point is that making a list of ACTIONS and then forcing yourself to either (1) DO THEM or (2) Feel ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about not doing them, will not get you anywhere.
At the same time, I am not saying that I should continue to skip all my classes and expect to get a black belt. That would be dumb. I am saying that I (my ego self) don't always have all the wisdom that my intuition does to make an accurate judgement whether taking a specific action or not taking it will move me towards or away from my goal.
Instead of asking yourself "Am I moving toward/away from the goal?" perhaps it might be more LoA condusive to ask yourself "If I am not taking this next action step towards my goal right now, is it because (1) My ego is being fearfull or (2) My intuition is sending out red alerts and perhaps it's best not to act in this moment."
Anyway, just my 2c.
