Just a quick rant. Not just for this forum, but society in general.
This forum has recently been flooded with 2020 goals. They started a few weeks ago. The second December started, people started setting their goals for 2020.
Here's the problem with that: Having a procrastination mindset that you'll start on something tomorrow instead of today almost always results in failure. When December started, there was still 1/12th of the year left. 8.3% of the year. For those of you with B2C businesses, likely 20%+ of your revenue left. For those of you without businesses, a ton of time to change your life around.
In most countries you get the most days off around the holidays. Christmas. New Year's Day. That all combined, you likely get a week or two off where you're either on vacation or the boss doesn't care. For students, you get 2-3 weeks off. That's a lot of time to invest into changing your life and creating positive habits that will have an impact for a lifetime.
Creating goals for 2020 that could be started on today is absolutely ridiculous. By doing so, you're jumping over all the free time that's oncoming, and deciding to start on your goals in the absolute worst time - start of the year when everyone goes back into the grind and work mode. That goes for entrepreneurial pursuits. Health pursuits. Anything. Those of you that want to lose fat in 2020? That gym is going to have 3x more idiots come January. Have fun transitioning then. Those of you that will start your business after the the new year? Your boss/professor/whoever is about to hit you with the same exact work that you've been getting.
Procrastination is the epitome of mediocrity. Setting New Year's Goals for things that could be started today is the perfect example of that.
