This is something I’ve been working on for a long time. I think about my goals, then I act on them, 50% of the time (sometimes more, sometimes less). Lately, I’ve been really focusing on not only thinking about my goals (visualizing them) but taking purposeful action towards accomplishing them.

Many people have this problem of thinking too much about the goal along with everything that goes with trying to achieve the goal. At this point, people get bogged down and don’t want to take purposeful action towards achieving the goal. Well, I have had this problem many times, even if you haven’t. (Be honest with yourself, I’m sure you have. We are humans after all). 

One of the things that stops my momentum is trying to get all the tasks lined up just right and thinking I can get everything done quickly, let’s say in a week. But I know it should take a month to do the same amount of stuff. I burn myself out this way. Which in-turn stalls my forward momentum towards achieving the goal.

So, I am trying out something that I’ve dabbled with here and there, not sticking to it long enough to get any solid results (because I was trying to do more than I could handle. Then gave up). If you are reading this post and my website looks like crap, well that’s just me trying out a method of goal achievement to see how good it works. 

Here’s the method. My goal is to write, draw, make a video, and do something for my website every weekday (circumstances may pop up where I will have to move one of those things to a weekend to meet my five days of working on my site). My weekends are for other things (as of now). That’s five days a week and all I have to do is something for my website each of those days. Doesn’t matter what it is, and it doesn’t matter what my site looks like.

The point of this method is to get into the habit of doing something for my website once a day. Once this habit is established, I will start to tweak the way my website looks. The ultimate goal is to make one full post a week.

Before, I would always try to make my website look good. I would be too focused on my make my site dazzle to post something. In reality, what I was really doing was procrastinating my posts because I was more worried about what people would think about what my website looked like over my post’s content.  Finally, it hit me, if the site looks great but there is no content, who will want to stay on the site and learn more about achieving their Gigantic Goals? 

Content matters in today’s world even if it doesn’t seem like it. People are living in a daze that doesn’t feel real. It’s time to get people out of that daze. This is why I need to do my best to post something every weekday so people can see it is absolutely possible to take 30 – 60 minutes a day to move towards your goal achievement. 

Remember: Don’t just think about your goals, take purposeful action towards them!
