You ve got your goals and your habits, but what about habit goals by killing Bruce of money, many blog dot com? Should you focus on habits or goals? What do you think both right

They both important or maybe this is where they go to internet answer should be used. It depends well, it really does depend both can be helpful, but both aren't always necessary, as I pointed out in goals versus habits. If you had to choose choose habits, but here's something even better how we think about goals. We ve been taught us that smart goals, you now specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound or something similar. And smart goals are great. In fact, if you're going to set a should be smart people know exactly when you achieve it. The problem with vague big goals is don't always know exactly when you hit the mark. That means you don't know what you're re for, and it won't take far when you think about a goal, make it specific set a date and go after it, of course, as easier said than done, so that's hard to figure out what a goal actually looks like there's a way to make clear concrete goal.

Writing your goals down. Have you ever heard that only three percent of people write down their goals? Is that true? And is it really that powerful, while the three percent it be true or may be made up, but there is power in writing down your goals. Your goals could be better quote. Motivation is what gets he started habit is what keeps you Goin Jim Rhone, we're gonna talk about habit, goals in a moment, but first a word on your current goals. In fact, your super smart- and this is simple concept- Saunders going briefly explain it and then give you some examples? I wouldn't say that your goals are overrated, but if they don't include a habit, they're not as effective as they can be, don't set small goals that affect you for a short I'm set beagles. I will change your life to quote Jim round. Some one section quote, major value in life is not what you get them.

Your value in life is what you become unquote. Your goal should turn into habits, a change who you are, preferably for the better or you're doing wrong, creating habit goals. So what's a habitable? It's exactly what sounds like a habitable. Is simply a goal to create a habit? That's it is not about accomplishing something. One time its ongoing happy goals can be tracked by counting the number and watching the consistency is pretty simple. So here's what that act? it looks like quote our run on the trail beside my house for ten minutes three times a week, adding two minutes each week on a quote: it specific. It tells you exactly where to go and what to do and as the foundation of a habit in a few weeks, if be running almost twice as much, because you are creating a habit, if you want to be a runner run, if you won't be a writer right,

to do those things you need to form the right habits. The best way to hold Self accountable is to turn forming the habit into a goal. Here are some more examples. Fighting saying, you're right about this year is great, but breaking down to how many words you need to write each day and then writing that many each day is better reading, saying your twenty. Both this here is good, but breaking down and How many pages you need to read and reading that many each day is better lifting waits, saying What's the three hundred pounds is great but breaking down it How many times you need to lift each week and lifting that many times each week is better I have a goal, will look more like I well blank Ex Times blank, then you would have

weekly, a monthly reviews to measure progress, doing your calculations. Of course you need to know what you actually striving for. So it's a good idea to keep the standard goal, such as I will lift x amount of weight by the end of the year That's where you're going. The key is in dividing the go into a daily or weekly habit, figure out where you want to accomplish this year and figure out what you need to do this month, then break it down until becomes a habit think about it or lose weight set. A small weekly goal is fairly easy and very doable to lose one pound a week. Figure out what you need to do to get there and how many weeks it will take you that give you an end point. Here's a final example of what I mean if I eat healthy options. What liquid calories any mindfully, I will lose one pound a week. That means I lose twenty pounds, and twenty weeks therefore Twenty weeks from now I will weigh honour and eighty pounds, assuming you wait.

Thousand out its dad easy set a big hole that breaks down into a small habit You just listen to the both titled. You ve got the goals and your habits, but what about had a goals like Bruce of money, many blogger com, Take away on this. Besides the obvious one of breaking down a big or small, Airbus is write it down. Has mentioned this.
