It sounds so simple. 

Can it really make a difference?

Psychologists say that 95-97% of the people in the world do NOT have written goals and fail, while the other 3-5% have DO have written goals and succeed.

I thought it was silly, at first, but came to learn that setting goals can be extremely motivating and a great activity to do with your husband/family/partner.

I like to set both short and long term goals – a few of each.  Take 15-30 minutes and jot something down.  The goals should be clear and specific - attach numbers and deadlines!  Writing it down will help to re-introduce the thought to your brain more frequently.  It increases your chances for actual performance! 

You can start with a short, quick list.  Post the list in your line of view and revisit the document on a regular basis.  Refine the list over time.  You can check back daily, weekly, monthly….whatever works best for you.  It does not need to be perfect!  Just get started!
