Written goals, writing goals
Most of the “success coaches” I’ve listened to seem to swear by the idea of writing your goals. Universally, they seem to say that merely thinking about your goals is not enough. You’ve got to write them out and, even if you don’t rewrite them every day, you need to review them every day. –Every day!
I think I’m slowly beginning to understand why they say this.
- You can’t “forget” written goals.
- You can’t escape the fact that you wrote a goal and then failed to achieve it.
- By confronting your written goals every day, and by rejoicing in your successes (or confronting your failures), you will be encouraged to write more realistic goals in the future.
- Writing your goals–long-, medium-, and short-term . . . not to mention “ultimate life” goals–encourages you to be precise about exactly what it is you are really looking for.
I intend to demonstrate some of these benefits in weeks to come.
