Our Goals Are The Problem<\/h2>\n

The biggest obstacles to our success this year are the goals we have just set for ourselves. It takes a year to truly fail at a new years resolution, and that is no pace at which to grow.<\/p>\n

The following post is advice to myself. I have an ongoing Project 365<\/a> which I have neglected for half a week because I forgot to set up daily routines. I will try to learn from my own advice, and I hope you find it helpful as well.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong> Let’s set resolutions we can fail at each day.<\/p>\n

This post will give us the tools we need to set resolutions that will actually help us reach our goals by resolving to do something silly, simple, and easy every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My personal growth motto is “fail fast.” An acquaintance who had just survived a heart attack at age 40 once told me to fail fast<\/em>. He explained to me how this single idea changed his whole life once he realized how little time he might have. I haven’t forgotten that advice.<\/p>\n

How do we fail fast? We set goals that we can accomplish fast. I don’t mean to set small goals. Instead, set up small daily routines that lead to long-term achievements. When failure inevitably happens, it is a small opportunity to learn instead of a massive, discouraging defeat. Tiny versions of our routines will help us learn instead of feeling bad.<\/p>\n

    Effective Overhaul<\/h2>\n

    If you really want to change your life, you can’t just expect to overhaul it. Motivation will never last (as you may have figured out as well, now that we’re 20 days into January), and your old habits will always be there.<\/p>\n

    Thankfully, there’s a cheat code. Set miniscule habits. Make your goal for each day something laughably small.<\/p>\n
