Goals are hard. I know this. You know this. We all know this.
There was a time in my life that I heavily resisted writing down my goals. Mostly because I was so afraid of NOT achieving things, so I wouldn’t even write them down. It may sounds strange, but I did not want to disappoint myself.
Finally, I realized that when you write down your goals, you are automatically hold yourself more accountable and become motivated to knock em’ outta the park!
Here are some practices that I follow to achieve MOST of my monthly goals.
- Be realistic
Do not start off biting off more than you can chew. If you are trying to get off the couch and lose weight, don’t make a monthly goal to lose 10lbs in one month! Instead, think about making a realistic goal like 2-4 lbs. If you are trying to launch a blog, truly evaluate your free time before you give yourself a launch date. I thought 30 days would be enough, but it took closer to 90 days to get everything up and running to my liking! I did not take into account all of the technical aspects to launching a blog.
