You decided that you're going to lose five pounds this year. But what are you actually going to do to make that goal come true? What are you really going to do every day, every week, every month to achieve that goal. If you don't schedule any activity in your planner that will help you to achieve your goal at least once a week. It doesn't matter if you set goals or not, because you're probably not going to achieve them. I don't really believe that if you just write all of your goals in a piece of paper, they will suddenly all become true.
I really prefer to work towards my goals to make sure I can actually be in control of achieving them, and of turning them into a reality. So make sure you block your calendar to schedule some activities or tasks that are a requirement to achieve the goals you've set when you actually take the time to grab your planner and to write the things you are going to do every week. Or every day to achieve your goals, things start to take off, you will get some momentum because you are seeing progress every day or every week. And just you're interested ourself getting closer to that goal, because you are actively working towards the goals you set and not just waiting for them to happen. If you want to write a book this year, the book won't get written if you don't actually write it. So you can block 30 minutes of your day, every single day of the rest of the year, to make sure you actually finish that book, and I'm sure you have 30 minutes of your day that you can dedicate to achieve your goals.
Because if they are your goals, then you should actually be excited to achieve them and you should be excited about the process and by scheduling the things you have to do in order to achieve your goals. You are making sure that you will actually achieve those goals. scheduling and planning is not supposed to take your freedom away it actually gives you more freedom as Jocko willing said discipline equals freedom. And I totally believe it. If you weren't achieving more in a smaller amount of time, you have more freedom to do other things. And if you're actually blocking your time to do the things that your dream requires, you are getting more freedom, you are making progress towards something that you really want to achieve.
It's not really an obligation by planning and scheduling. You are making time to achieve your goals. You are making yourself free because you are giving yourself time to work towards your goals and themes and there's no better feeling than debt. By making progress every day. You start creating a habit of eating healthy or writing every day, or exercising or working towards your business. And we all have that momentum.
Suddenly you see yourself making progress every day, and you might even accomplish the goal. You set before the year ends. And because you created a sequence of goals, you are still making progress every day, even if you achieve your goals in the middle of the year. So suddenly you are now in really good shape with a best selling book in your hands and with three more new employees in your business, but this only happens when you make progress every day. And so you have to schedule the progress you want to be making
