I have goals. You have goals. We all have goals.
How do those of us who achieve our goals do it?
We write them down.
Don’t Lose Sight
In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to lose track of our goals and what we really want. It’s sometimes tempting to forget about our goals to pursue something easier. This causes us to lose track of our goals that much more.
You can sit on your ass playing Call of Duty all day to improve your K/D (Kill/Death (ratio)) or you can do something that matters. If you want to be a Twitch streamer or a gaming YouTuber then fair enough as long as you’re recording. Otherwise, you don’t have a great excuse. If you want to be a writer then spend more time writing and less time gaming.
I keep my phone’s lock screen as the goals that I’ve written down. That way every few minutes when I inevitably look at my phone I’m reminded of what I want. I want to be a writer. I want to be a software developer. I want to be successful. It makes watching movies and playing video games much less tempting to me. It also makes writing and coding more tempting to me.
