[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the recommendations are outcome goals (ie achieve a certain type of outcome) which will be far off in the future and may or may not happen and easy to give up if you don’t see yourself making quick enough progress towards the goal. Outcome goals also tend to require multiple smaller steps that you have to do in order to achieve them, and you may not know how to go about achieving the actual outcome.

I would recommend having process goals either instead of or in addition to an outcome goal. A process goal focuses on the multiple intermediary steps you might take to achieve a particular outcome. For example, in addition to having an outcome goal of being able to do 5 pushups, you might have your process goal be I’m going to find a personal trainer (1 goal) who can help me develop a workout routine (another goal) so that I can do 30 minutes of strength training (another goal) 3x per week (another goal). Process goals, because they lay out concrete and more actionable steps are easier to achieve.  [/quote]
