Day 176 – You Dont Need to Win All At Once

This lesson is really hard for me and is for the most part what I learned yesterday. When setting out to create your goals and objectives, you do not need to do everything all at once.

A sure sign that you are in the wrong mental state on this is if you are procrastinating even on the thought of setting goals for yourself. If it feels like a daunting task, then it probably is!

Rather, accept that you cannot do everything but you can pick something now and improve it significantly. My suggestion is to spend 30 minutes writing down everything you want to accomplish both large and small. Do this without much thought, just get everything out.

Once you are done with that, group like ideas that are related, then once you have narrowed your wish list down to sensible groups, prioritize them.

Then simply set your goal to improve your top 1 – 2 priority areas. Now spend your time thinking through those. Suddenly the process is not that daunting and procrastination ends.

So today I am going to follow my own advice.
