The act of setting goals
Mon Sep 8th, 2008Sometimes the simple act of writting a goal down on paper is all you need to ensure it’s accomplished. Pin it up near your monitor, in your wallent, as a reminder on your calendar, etc, and you will likely increase the chances of its acheivment.
I happened upon a very brief post today by Ryan Graves of ActionsTalk.com. The post highlights the acheivement of his goal to reach 100 visitors in a single day (certainly more than read this teeny site on a single day at this point).
Interestingly enough, as simple as all this sounds, when looking at it on a personal scale, it can be frustrating and difficult. It’s one thing to help someone else set goals, and an different story when doing it for yourself.
So in an effort to keep myself honest, on track, and perhaps set myself up for a little failure, I’m going to commit myself to publishing a post a week. I certainly have enough topics to write about, and over time since re-launching Source ID, I’ve become increasingly comfortable putting my own voice and opinion out there. We’ll see where it takes me.
So, goal #1: Set goals
