Breaking Down Goals

New Years is traditionally the time to set
resolutions for the next year.
These resolutions are usually large
and unfortunately,
92% of them won’t be kept.

Why?

Because they are too big.
I always break down big goals
into small, almost trivial tasks,
my to do list for the day.

My blogging goal for today
was to write 2 posts for every blog.
Small, right?
Except that I only blog once a day.
So after a week of completing 2 posts,
I’ll be a week ahead of my posts.
After a year,
I’ll have a full year buffer.
Hhhmmm…
not so trivial anymore, is it?

THAT is how goals get completed.
Break ’em down.
