Goal Setting: Balancing Structure and Flexibility
At Healthy Transition, we're always looking for effective ways to set and achieve our goals, both for our ambitious mission of delivering medicine to the Moon and for our personal growth. Today, we'd like to share a powerful goal-setting technique inspired by Brian Tracy's book "Goals!" along with our thoughts on how to apply it flexibly. ## The 10-10 Goal Writing Technique Brian Tracy suggests a simple yet potent method for goal setting: 1. Write down 10 goals in the morning 2. Write down 10 goals in the evening/night This practice helps keep your goals at the forefront of your mind, encouraging consistent focus and action towards achieving them. ## Flexibility in Application While Tracy's technique is valuable, at Healthy Transition, we believe in adapting methods to suit individual needs and preferences. Here's how we approach it: 1. **Consistency Over Rigidity**: Try to write your goals regularly, but don't stress if you miss a session. The key is to make it a habit, not a burden. 2. **Quality Over Quantity**: Some days, you might not have 10 goals to write. That's okay! Focus on the goals that truly matter to you. 3. **Mix Long-term and Short-term**: Include both big, long-term aspirations and smaller, immediate objectives in your list. 4. **Review and Revise**: Use this practice as a chance to review your progress and adjust your goals as needed. 5. **Personalize the Timing**: If morning and night don't work for you, find times that do. The important part is regular reflection on your goals. ## Why This Matters for Healthy Transition As we work towards our 2040 goal of delivering medicine to the Moon and beyond, consistent goal-setting helps us: - Stay focused on our long-term vision - Break down our ambitious mission into manageable steps - Adapt to challenges and setbacks - Celebrate our progress along the way Remember, the best goal-setting technique is one that you'll actually use. We encourage you to try Tracy's method, adapt it to your needs, and find what works best for you in your journey towards your own moon shot. Stay committed, stay flexible, and keep reaching for the stars! --- *How do you approach goal-setting? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
