Building Clarity and Specificity in Goal Setting
Many people abandon their goals and resolutions because they lack clarity and specificity. Setting overarching, undefined goals like 'being healthy' or 'being successful' leaves room for confusion and lack of direction. To ensure success, it is crucial to get specific about what these goals actually mean and quantify them. For instance, defining what being healthy entails in terms of exercise, diet, and mental well-being. By setting clear and specific goals, individuals can better track their progress and stay motivated.
