Regularly monitoring your progress towards your goals is yet another pivotal strategy for success. A comprehensive meta-analysis, which considered nearly 20,000 participants, concluded that monitoring one’s progress significantly bolsters goal achievement. Just as a player levels up in a video game, visualizing and tracking progress can provide motivation and satisfaction in real life.
Tools such as to-do list apps can facilitate this monitoring, allowing users to categorize tasks and periodically assess their statuses. Checking in on your goals in brief, manageable iterations—like a quick emoji status update—can greatly impact your overall efficacy.
