It’s all Goal setting ! How often have you tried to set goals only to give up in between, feeling overwhelmed? The key lies in breaking down goals. This removes the stress involved in goal setting while keeping you motivated and consistently progressing toward achieving your goal successfully.
Overcoming overwhelm
In Goal setting, some goals may be easy to set but may overwhelm you when you think about achieving them. The pressure could end up draining up all motivation to achieve the goal. This is when you need to remember that ‘little drops make an ocean’. Breaking down the goal into a series of smaller goals is the way to go, for it will not overwhelm you and keep you motivated. Each small step will build up momentum and ultimately help you reach your goals.
Keeps you motivated
Breaking up your goals helps to keep them realistic. There is no point in setting a goal that is not practically achievable. It will only lead to frustration. It is only when the goal is realistic that you will be motivated to work towards attaining it, one step at a time.
It gives you a sense of direction
In Goal setting, breaking down your goals will also help you give a sense of direction towards the ultimate goal. Sometimes with a single larger goal in mind, we may not be able to asses as to where we stand in our journey towards the target. With smaller goals, it is always possible to stop and reflect as to what next needs to be done to stay on track and successfully achieve the goal.
Plan well
Breaking up bigger goals into smaller ones helps you plan better. You can be surer about the time and resources that will be required. This kind of structured approach will ensure that you are steadily moving in the right direction towards the goal.
Track your progress
One of the big problems with setting goals is that more often than not is about tracking where we stand. Breaking up goals into smaller ones allows us to improve tracking. Once you can measure the progress, it boosts your confidence levels and enhances your chances to successfully reach your goals.
