We heard already goal setting is essential ... It works even better using (realistic) numbers ...

Why goal setting is essential?

... because you get a direction where to go next, you can focus on what to do and are less likely to get lost ...

Why do numbers help?

... because you can measure where you are, see your achievements ... that's why you should choose realistic numbers ... to high and you get demotivated, to low and you will never reach the stars ...

... by the way, dates, when to reach a goal, count as numbers, too ...

• Work when you are most efficient
• Use dead time (e.g. when driving, eating, running, ...)
• Skip time wasters (e.g. TV, video games, Facebook, Twitter ...)
• Organize yourself and find strategies which allow you to be more efficient ...
• Love what you are doing ...

... and suitable for New-Years resolutions, don't only think about what you want to do but also what you do NOT want to do ...

... some history delivered from newspapers ... (strange Pat did not mention newspapers to be time wasters) ...

... Pat's site gets a make over ...

Smart Passive Income #38 - Scoring and Achieving ... Comparisons?

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.

Pat compares life to sport:

• Both have written and unwritten rules.
• Both need hard work, will power, and some times just luck.
• In both - if you have success, you like it - if you don't, you don't ...
• In both support from others is essential.
• In both you need to score and achieve goals.

... let's compare life to an apple tree:

• Both start out small and vulnerable.
• While there might be a straight line to success, you will take detours to see the sun.
• Eventually you will see the fruits of your life.
• Parasites will try to spoil your fruits.
• It sucks if you get struck by lightening.

 ... well ...

Smart Passive Income #31 - Setting Goals

Pat has reached his goal of 100 subscribers. This blog has a grand total of zero subscribes. Because I did not set a goal? I should start defining goals!!!

How to set a goal?

Setting a goal is not really the hard part. I want to be a millionaire by tomorrow. See, it took just a couple of seconds. Will I reach my goal? Well, I could win the lottery. Only two problems, I did not by a lottery ticket (which I could change by just buying one), and there is no draw tomorrow...

Set a goal which is actually achievable!

I was once told to set a goal and then raise it to 120 % ... which might be a good idea when you set the bar to low. ... but is just stupid, when your goal is already at 100 % of what you are able to do ...

Break down your goals into sub goals! To stay motivated divide your goal into smaller achievable steps. This will help to stay motivated and you will see immediately if you need to adjust your goal to be a little bit more reasonable ...
