Problem With Goals

Problem With Goals

What if you have only Goals, and no Systems?

  1. Win/Lose - Successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals.
  2. Momentary Change - Achieving a goal changes your life only for a moment.
  3. Either/ Or Conflict - Either you can achieve the goal and succeed, or you don't and are a failure. 
  4. Goal vs Long Term Progress - What do you do after achieving the goal, your motivation mostly ends right after it's achieved. And you'll slip back to your old routines.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Laetitia Berton
