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.

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.
