So while I was keeping these goals in the back of my mind, I put my main focus on my strategy to get there. Who knows? I surely don’t since I’ve never achieved either of them before. Nowadays, I actually don’t like to set myself any time-bound goals, much less SMART goals.īecause goals like ‘ making 1.000€/month with my blog‘ or ‘ getting rid of acne‘ can take 3 months or 2 years. But even more important than a trackable goal is to create an effective system to get there. If you are active in the personal development realm, you surely have stumbled over the advice to create SMART goals.Īnd yes, sure, creating actionable, reasonable, and measurable goals is excellent.

You mentally box yourself into a narrow version of happiness.” – James Clear (Atomic Habits) “Furthermore, goals create an “either-or” conflict: either you achieve your goal and are successful or you fail and you are a disappointment. Focus on your system instead.” – James Clear (Atomic Habits) “If you want better results, then forget about setting goals. Treat yourself to something nice once you reach a 14-day streak, then after a month, after 55 days, and so on.ģ. You could even create milestone treats for yourself. To combat the frustration of seeing no results create a habit tracker, and check off each day you did the habit.Ĭhange your goal from seeing results to merely keeping the habit streak alive and going.

ATOMIC HABITS QUOTES FULLIt is not until much later that the full value of previous efforts is revealed.” – James Clear (Atomic Habits) “This can result in a “valley of disappointment” where people feel discouraged after putting in weeks or months of hard work without experiencing any results. Don’t judge habits while working through the valley of disappointment So I might not have earned much this month, but if I’ve taken daily action towards a higher income in the future, I count it as a success.Ģ. I also give each life area a rating from 1-10, and I place more value on where I’m heading than what I’ve already accomplished. For each, I write down the good habits I practiced during the past month. I chose different areas of my life (health, family & friends, emotions & mindset, finances, work & uni …) that I take a look upon. I do this in my monthly review (to be exact, I do a cycle review to honor my female infradian rhythm). Write down all of the habits you did the last day or month that will compound into an extraordinary life with time. I encourage you to make this a daily or at the very least a monthly habit. When measuring your success in life, make sure to value the daily habits that have not yet given you significant results. The results only prove that your trajectory is successful. Yet real success is not to be found in results but in your trajectory. If they are driving a sports car, but you are not, you might feel unsuccessful compared to them.
