How to stick to goals.
How to manage and stick to your goals this year.
Redoing my goals for this year after I barely completed the 2020’s. No-fault on the year, all laid on my shoulders to be fair.
I tried finding things that can’t be disrupted by other doings, other than my own. In a sense that if I don’t do something about it(my goals) it will forever be incomplete.
Every time I wanted to write down a goal and felt almost like it was going to be a chore doing it (even if it was improving something within myself) I did not put it down, I know that I won’t complete it neither will I look forward to doing it in the first two weeks, and the steadily not doing it anymore.
Writing manageable goals as well as ‘easier’ goals makes you feel so much better about yourself, I mean I felt so much motivation over the long weekend on new year’s, I couldn’t even care to have a beer with friends because my mind was somewhere on this bright future I’ve painted for myself. I feel bad about that because I should choose to live in the present. Which I definitely will… when I achieve some things I put down.
The type of person I am is that with everything achieved big or small I’m almost never satisfied, so this has almost helped me to want to be happy with every small step towards being a way better person. I mean damn, look at me, I am genuinely trying, I have a clear path and you can too.
I don’t want to sell you a dream either a mission which you won’t do, but merely help you if you’ve searched the help so far ‘typing in my heading’
My one goal for this year is to make a new friend every month. Making friends is so damn hard, it’s just forming any kind of genuine connection, and having a sense of belonging is so hard to find. How does one achieve such? I have made it a mission to seek conversations as much as I can with people who hopefully think and do like me, I am a lonely guy, I’m not sure if it’s because of people’s perceptions of me or how I am as a person and not likable.
I figured out how to fix this, one night laying in my bed a thought came over me (after that surge of motivation with myself) ‘How to improve social interaction to make friends’ I mean that is the most perfect statement to the problem I have. I shall keep the progress updated, but that is technically the first step I’m taking to being a ‘nicer’ person for the world to allow relations, with people I am genuinely longing for.
Another one is ‘find a proper business partner’. I am an entrepreneur by heart and I fix problems on a daily while always thinking of new ideas, I wish I had a partner to put them into work. I can’t do it by myself, I have tried. One thing I’m learning is that not everything is manageable on my set of shoulders. Two heads are better than one, where I can’t think of a solution or am blocked mentally I could rely on someone better and smarter than me to help me and I help him/her with their problem.
As you can see, some solutions are way easy and some are super hard, here are a few to make sure you cope this year and do everything you can for yourself.
1. Journal- The progress you make every day is important, you’re thought patterns and when you think of things, I have a full-time job and am trying to juggle four other business ideas I’m trying to put into work.— I am not successful yet, but trust me… I will be
2. Think in really small detail (After the really, really large picture) as well as making deadlines for every small detail, can’t figure out the 10th problem if you don’t even know where to start.
3. Set a timer on your phone for 2 minutes before you have a task (personal or not) and a 30 minutes timer for doing the task then take 5 minutes and evaluate what you’ve done. Making everything manageable. What also helps is the timer makes you work on a schedule. I struggle so much with following schedules. This has helped.
4. Make sure you understand what you want and don’t drift away. Wow, the most difficult one of them all. How to make everything understandable. Ask for help. Simple. People are willing to talk to you. I am lucky enough to have both my parents around whom I can ask. Either way, if they disagree or agree, I will get a better understanding and find a way around whatever I question.
5. Celebrate the small things. I love fires, so whenever I have one, I make sure to live in the moment and pile the wood on. It's a good thing to do to escape from your struggles.
I am hoping this message reaches you in a very positive way and you do something about it. Set that two minute timer;)
