It’s easy to get lost in the glory of hammering our your latest project, and forget to set your 1 - 3 daily goals.
It might not seem that important if you didn’t set a goal for today. And that just made it easier to not set one or three tomorrow.
Sooner or later, though, you’re going to hit a rut.
That hot project might get delayed, or that “yes” might suddenly swing to a “no.” And that’s when the habit of small, concrete daily goal setting is important.
No matter what game it is you’re playing, it’s always a game of inches. And sometimes inches are all you have to rally around.
I went through today without even 1 goal, and now I don’t know if that unfinished sales letter is a problem, or if the fact that it’s almost done is actually a success. Tomorrow that won’t happen.
When you’re pushing it alone, give yourself MORE reasons to rally, not less. It’ll make it easier to fight another day.
