Goal setting needs active participation
Unless you have goals, you have no way of knowing whether or not you’ve already reached the pinnacle of your life.
6 Goal setting tips
- Write goals that align with your values. If your career goals aren’t supporting your life goals, you are bound to have a miserable existence.
- Set goals that you can control. Unless every aspect of the goal you set is under your control, you have very little likelihood of ever achieving it.
- Think big. Set your sights higher than most might believe practicable.
- Give yourself time. Start by visualizing where you want to end up in life, then the things you need to get there are pretty easy to plot out.
- Plan for success. Do not ask “What if I fail?” but rather “What if I succeed?”
- Manage your risks. Success will carry some measure of risk. Consider the risks and weigh them against the reward.

Build good habits in two minutes
The “two-minute rule” has two parts.
First, if something takes less than two minutes, do it now. Next, start building new habits for two minutes at a time. The rule for this is: When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do. The idea is to make your habits as easy to start as possible.
Think of these “two-minute habits” as gateway habits that will lead to your overarching goal.
Complete tasks in batches
It takes time to get into a rhythm to work on a task. Instead of constantly starting and stopping that process, it’s better to keep your rhythm going by bundling similar tasks together.

Your resolve
The secret to effectively setting and achieving your goals is to have a large vision and an achievable plan.
The pursuit matters
The pursuit matters just as much as the goal.
Consider why you're pursuing your goal and how the journey to achieve it will help you grow as a person.
The right scope
People often give up on their resolutions because they set unattainable goals.
Try to set a goal that you can reasonably achieve within one year. If it is challenging to complete it in your set timeframe, you might become overwhelmed and give up. If the goal will take more than one year, try and set a benchmark for what you'd like to accomplish in a year.
