The Power of Goals
Sergey KA study at Dominican University revealed that the following 3 factors substantially increased someone’s chance of following through on their goals:
1. Written Goals – “Those who wrote their goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not write their goals.”
2. Public Commitment - “...those who sent their commitments to a friend accomplished significantly more than those who wrote action commitments or did not write their goals.”
3. Accountability – “...those who sent weekly progress reports to their friend accomplished significantly more than those who had unwritten goals...”
It may feel like you’re an exception; that you don’t need goals or accountability...but trust the science and give it a shot. Spend 20 minutes making a list of the things you are hoping to accomplish by starting up. If you believe what was said above, it will make a big difference. Worst case, you waste 20 minutes of your time.
