Productivity Thread #2

You won't get anywhere in life if you don't figure out WHERE you want to go.

You need GOALS!

Without goals, you're floating in a canoe on the river of life without an oar, unable to steer.

In this thread, I'm going to teach you HOW to set goals.

This thread is a summary of my Scientific Goal Setting guide.

It teaches you a simple method to set goals you'll actually stick to, using the example of myself losing 170lbs.

Step 1: DEFINE THE GOAL

What is ONE thing you want to

- achieve?
- obtain?
- do?

It doesn't matter how big or scary the answer is.

The answer is your GOAL.

Read on to learn how to achieve it.

Step 2: DETERMINE THE DIFFERENCES

What are the differences between:

- where you are now
- where you want to be / what you want to have

This will help you start figuring out what you NEED TO DO to achieve your goal.

Step 3: MAKE IT MEASURABLE

How can you make your goal measurable?

What aspects of the goal can you attach numerical values to?

For goals like losing weight or running a marathon, this is easy.

But for goals like being a better friend, it's harder.

Step 4: CREATE SUBGOALS

The reason why you want your goal to be measurable:

So you can break it down into smaller SUBGOALS.

Example: When I wanted to lose 170lbs, I broke it down into subgoals of 10lbs.

Subgoals seem more achievable to your brain - this is VERY important!

Step 5: MAKE A PLAN TO START

1-4 were about the "what".

Now you need a plan - the "how".

Goals are pointless without plans and systems to achieve them.

Figure out enough of a plan to get yourself to START.

Don't wait til you feel ready. START.

Again, this is a SUMMARY of my Scientific Goal Setting guide.

If you're serious about transforming yourself, you need goals.
