Do you have unmet goals? You’re not alone. Many live with unfulfilled aspirations, fueling the self-help industry. Yet, many self-help techniques fall short.
Consider the “Yale Goal Study” myth, often quoted but never conducted. It claimed 3% of Yale grads who wrote down goals amassed more wealth than the rest combined. Fiction, yet widely cited.
Bestselling author Richard Wiseman offers a no-nonsense approach to goal achievement, backed by science. Here are five effective techniques from his book, “59 Seconds”:
- Do This: Make a Step-by-Step Plan. Break your goal into concrete, measurable, time-based sub-goals.
- Do This: Tell Others About Your Goal. Share your goal with friends and family for accountability and support.
- Do This: Focus on the Good Things. List the benefits of achieving your goal to maintain a positive focus.
- Do This: Reward Your Progress. Attach non-conflicting rewards to sub-goals to encourage success.
- Do This: Record Your Progress. Document your plans, progress, and rewards to maintain motivation.
Avoid relying solely on willpower or fantasizing about success. Instead, take actionable steps.
