The Missing Step in Goal Setting: The Four Types of Goals
from Immersion · host Pamela Carey
In this episode we discuss a main reason people fail to achieve their lists of goals they set around New Years or their birthdays during “life resets.” It is because we often fail to evaluate the scope of our goals. We will do that here with a framework for breaking our objectives down into four categories, calculating how much energy and time is required for each, and go through practical steps you can take with your own goal lists. We will aim to make our list of goals “diversified” as we discuss here. We will also talk about the planning fallacy, indirectly reference Parkinson’s law, and explore ways to achieve more, by at times, doing less.Video version of the episode: https://youtu.be/f1f3Hszz3nwVideos referenced for after this: On the planning fallacy and how tasks take longer than we anticipate and how we can persevere in spite of that: https://youtu.be/7vFFkWr_2r4On how "how many projects should we balance at once" and spacing out goals to be at different times: https://youtu.be/fcT-tpqUgBoA good follow up video on "If you should tell people your goals or keep them to yourself"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox_8gX64KVwLeave a voice message hereNewsletter sign upYouTube - channel Instagram - we will be posting here soon
