Great Clark, make yourself accountable, otherwise it all means nothing.

I was always scared of defining my goals also, but I’m working on it. These are some great suggestions. I will be doing the same soon!

Hulbert,

In the last year, I’ve noticed how I try to “organize” everything, maybe too much to an extent. I shouldn’t be anal about everything. Gain ten pounds? Wish I had that problem I have set a lot on my plate and if I can achieve these goals, two things: I can do a lot more AND anyone can achieve them with this type of mindset. I will stop by your blog soon!

Thanks Shane. As you see, setting goals is nothing more than defining them and a timeline for them. Hope you achieve all you want, new year, new slate!

Tim,

Thanks for stopping by! I feel confident that I can achieve my goals within 6 months, or at the very least, be very close to the standards that I’ve set here. I’ve come to a point where I won’t accept failure as an option, and that’s what most people might be missing. I’ll be by your blog soon again, I had a horrible internet connection on this vacation :O

Hey Moon. This is a great way to set goals. You have written it in a very organized way, putting in the specific deadlines too. You seem to have a very organized way of thinking which is awesome. One of my goals is to gain ten pounds by the end of this year, but your goals that you put up make mine look insignificant. Hehe. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this and I hope you end up reaching your goals!

I agree that goal-setting is super-important. I have not yet found the ideal way for myself to set goals, but I’ve been experimenting with different methods for quite some time and it’s definitely been good for my productivity.

I wish you all the best in achieving your goals, Moon!

Cheers,
Shane

Very useful post Moon, both as an example and as motivation.

I think with this post you’ve done the hardest part of goal-setting, which is openly admitting ambitions in a public manner.

Ambitions, hopes, dreams are all very personal and laying them out takes a degree of bravery to overcome the attendant fear that comes with being so honest. I really think this is one of the hardest parts of the whole ‘lifedesign’ process, being honest enough with yourself to be able to know and define your true goals.

With this done, nothing is going to hold you back!

Moon, you’ve got your list well under way and broken down nicely.

I agree with Jason when he talks about telling others. I notice when I talk to my friends about the RB it helps flesh it out even more and make it seem more obtainable. I think it has something to do with getting instant feedback from people you know and also hearing it out loud, and engaging in actual conversation. Those are some things you just can’t get out of blogging, unless you talk while you type.
