Goal Setting & Getting

Setting goals is important, especially as a creative when many interests and potential project ideas can distract us from accomplishing things that are already in progress. But, achieving goals can be a bit more complicated than just setting goals. Things to keep in mind: You need to dream big, but take small practical actions Break larger harder to achieve goals down so they are easier to manage Multiple small goals is better than one large goal Don't judge yourself too harshly based on current progress Don't quit - be willing to reset or rebalance your goals and keep moving forward Be willing to set new deadlines If your goals change, remove items no longer aligned to your goals Be willing to track goals at multiple levels (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly) Don't just capture goals, track reasons you've been unable to complete them Consider asking people you trust to check on your progress - and give them honest answers
