Goal Setting for Success

Clear goals make it easier to decide what to do next. Keep plans simple, visible, and adjustable as you learn.

Define the outcome. Write one sentence describing success (“Launch the page by Nov 15 with three posts”). Specific outcomes guide choices.

Break into steps. List the smallest actions you can complete in 15–30 minutes. Small steps reduce resistance and reveal hidden work early.

Put steps on the calendar. Block time for 1–2 steps per day. Treat blocks like appointments.

Add a simple scoreboard. Track completions with a checklist or habit tracker. Seeing progress keeps motivation alive.

Review weekly. What moved the goal forward? What got stuck? Adjust the plan and pick the next two steps.

Progress compounds when you make goals concrete, steps tiny, and reviews routine.
