Big Success Requires Accomplishing Small Goals
Big Success Requires Accomplishing Small Goals
I often fall victim to this. I’m very ambitious; typically I have many projects and goals running concurrently. It’s important to remember that you must break down your goals into smaller goals.
- Want to run a marathon? Start by running 1 mile, and then 2 miles, etc.
- Want to make a 1 million dollars? Learn how to make 1000 dollars first.
- Want to write a book? Use Scrivener to write one paragraph a day.
- Want to write an autobiography? Write one blog post every day.
It sounds so easy, but yet it’s tough to do this. Lately, I’ve been using the todo iPhone app Do It (Tomorrow) to break up my goals into actionable tasks each day. So far, it’s worked out great.
How do you accomplish your big goals? Do you use any specific tools?
