Episode notes
Make Goals Specific, Measurable, Time-Bound
- Make goals specific and measurable; vague wishes like "I want to lose weight" are not goals.
- Add a time limit so you automatically break the goal into actionable steps and required activity.
Back Into The Math To Build Action
- When you set a time limit you force the math and required activities to appear, turning intent into a plan.
- Use simple division (e.g., pounds per week or dollars per month) to map behaviors to outcomes.
Only Pursue Goals You Own
- Ensure goals are personally owned; goals assigned by others lack buy-in and seldom stick.
- Use quotas only as performance standards, not as personally motivated goals.
