Real talk. Writing it down the night before is very beneficial. It lets you process the information while you sleep for one and by tomorrow you've already got a subconscious decision waiting to be executed.
Also Daily Goal Setting is very revolutionary. Using smart goals and by writing them out every morning while your eating your breakfast, for example; ''I weigh 200lbs of lean muscle by the 21st July by focusing on my diet and consistently training.''
Stick with 10 goals and try not to go to complex. But seriously, revolutionary. I'll make a post about it soon enough for some better clarity.
Anyway, very nice post again. I'm liking how you are sharing knowledge on little methods and tricks like this.
Thank you for the comment and for the nice words.
It's really interesting how writing down goals and tasks can help anybody make a lot more progress. The brain uses a lot of energy when trying to figure out what to do, but all that energy can be saved by spending a few minutes planning your next day before going to sleep.
Simplicity also plays a role. It's always easy to complicate things too much and make entire plans about how you'll do this and that, this way overloading yourself with too much work and never getting anything done.
There's a middle ground when writing goals and planning, something between too simple or/and too complex, and if you learn how to be just there, in the middle, how to plan and choose the right tasks that can help you make progress, you can achieve a lot of things.
Planning is key, and when done well, it does wonders.
You hit the nail on the head there.
I've went and overdone it on one to many occasions. Striking a balance is totally right, you need to appreciate the present just as much as you strive for the future.
Pointless living a meaningless life.
