Sounds great for small, short-term goals, but not so much for ambitious, long-term ones.
Purposeful. Your goal should be meaningful to your long-term purpose in life, not just relevant to you right now. It will be much harder to stick to your goal if you don’t actually care.
When a goal is aligned with your passions and your objectives in life, you are feeling much more motivated. (many tasks don’t feel purposeful but need to be done in order to achieve a meaningful long-term goal, and that’s fine—they are tasks, not goals)
Your goal should be actionable and controllable.
It’s all about shifting your mindset from distant outcomes in the future to present outputs you can control and that are within your reach, taking action today rather than overplanning for tomorrow.
It’s important that the actions you take towards your goal are simple and repeatable.
Trackable. Not measurable. Stats can be overrated and don’t apply to lots of different types of goals. I’m a big fan of the “yes” or “no”
SMART version of a goal: “Get 5,000 subscribers in 25 weeks.”
PACT version of a goal: “Publish 25 newsletters over the next 25 weeks.”
