Don’t do it.That’s the answer. Just don’t do it.Let “life” get in the way, even though one of the reasons for creating the goals in the first place was to make your life better.
Surf the web at all hours of the night, the free time where you should be completing goals. Read social media and marvel at the wit and wisdom of others wishing that it could be you writing that prose. Leaving the accomplishments for others and I’ll get to it later…or tomorrow…or never.
Go ahead and buy another information product sure that this will be the one, this will help you more than all the others that you never followed.
This is / was me, in a month, only a month.
A bit more than a month ago I posted my goals for the site for the remainder of the year Goals for the 29.8630136983% Left of This Year. I was so proud that I could sit down and come up with those goals, you know the ones that would propel me into the stratusphere financially and give me a leg up on job independence. Well guess what?
I guess I’m human after all.
I was able to complete one of my goals, starting another blog ChristopherKnopick.com set aside for personal information not suitable for this site…big deal.
My primary goal was (and still is somewhat) to complete 3 articles per week for the 17 weeks that were left of the year. That would give my site 51 more articles and I’d be well on my way…or so I thought,
If I still want to hit that goal I’d have to write slightly more than 5 articles per week for the next 9 weeks. Lets not get crazy but I’m not going to lock myself in that box again. I’ve come up with a self-realization.
I don’t work well, or at all, that way.
My goofy personality and attention span (equivalent to a 2yr old’s) doesn’t work well when I set big, over-arching goals and then fail to meet them. It gets depressing and it isn’t fun.
Life is a series of little successes all bundled together to add up to our few big successes. I need to set smaller, perhaps daily, bite sized goals. Baby steps if you will. All combining into the future success that I know my life and business can be. Spend less time on Social Media, not eliminate it as it’s necessary for what I want to do, just read less often.
I’m counting on all of you that read this to hold my feet to the fire, to kick me in the ass when you don’t see any new content…and if you like I’ll do the same for you. We can all be the catalyst that each one of us needs to succeed. Are you with me?
I’d be interested to see what techniques that everyone else uses to stay on task and get things done, so comment liberally and let me have it. I’m a big boy and I can take it.
Here’s to our future!
