The 365 Commitment

Day 354 – Importance of Target

I think it is vitally important to have a clear target, some future state that you are aiming for. If you do not, you will spend too many days aimlessly getting through the day.

Even if you wake every morning and review the day and plan for the most important, you will find yourself focused on the wrong things.

My suggestion is to write down, as exact as you can make it, what you want to accomplish. Then when you wake up really focus on how you are going to get closer to your ultimate goals that day.

I think my next 365 days is going to focused on that. A few very specific objectives. The ambition to spend everyday trying to get one step closer to achieving what I have written down.
