Isn't goal setting by all definition a system?
On the other hand, you hear people say goal setting is bullshit as most people will never achieve them and that you should be more concerned with habits. Think compound effect and Scott Adams.
I find it weird to separate the two.
Actions without some end in mind aren't really actions. That's just mindless behavior. Movement.
Goals without actions aren't really goals, they're just fantasies.
Is there a genuine question here, or is this one of those things people like to argue about on the internet to avoid doing something worthwhile?
What is your current goal?
I support this book. you can always tell when a book has wisdom when everything just MAKES SENSE. if its for a business then "Built to Last" is greatDEEP WORK. read it and implement it.
Baby steps.
This is like saying the secret to success is "work hard" or the secret to business is "buy low sell high".
Things ain't so simple, nothing is absolute, goals, systems, hard work, intelligence, human capital, everything plays a part in one's success, it's only the degree of each that's up to the individual.
Do not think you are the only one that feels that way.
I have been in the same situation as you are right now. I know how frustrating it is, but let me tell you that neither Goal-Setting nor Habit creation are bullshit. Both have a role to play if you want to achieve what you want.
Think about Goal-Setting is the roadmap you will use. It makes no sense to try to achieve something without knowing what you have to do to achieve it.
If you want to be an engineer [Silly example] and you don't know that you need to go to college, you have a big problem.
I know it's easier to say than put it into practice. But goal setting it's a must if you want to become someone that achieves constantly.
On the other hand, the building of habits that change your mindset and destroy limiting beliefs is helpful.
I created the habit of beginning my day with:
- Meditation
- Practice Affirmations [Get rid of limiting beliefs]
- Visualization
- Daily Planning [Goal-Setting for the day]
- Reading[At least 5 min]
I know what you are thinking, meditation? Affirmations? Visualization?
I felt the same way when I started, but I recommend you try it at least for a couple of weeks and then evaluate how you felt during that period.
They work if you commit 100% and if you are willing to change your current situation.
There's a lot of free information on everything I practice every morning. I hope this can be helpful in some way for you.
It depends. Usually shorter term goals are much more effective. Like a daily to do list.What is the forum's consensus on goal setting? I have a mindset problem that I have been struggling with for some time.
In one camp, you always hear about the importance of goal setting in personal development circles. Without goals, you'll be a ship without a sail, etc.,etc,. Think Anthony Robbins.
On the other hand, you hear people say goal setting is bullshit as most people will never achieve them and that you should be more concerned with habits. Think compound effect and Scott Adams.
Whenever I set a goal, I usually miss the target end date for whatever reason. I start to feel negative about myself.
Whenever I try to develop habits, it leads to action faking.
I need to fix this brain of mine, any suggestions from anyone here?
That's really interesting. In your language, there's a huge difference between habit and routine? Tell me about that difference. In our culture and language, the two words are used very similarly. I'm thinking that I have something important to learn from you...Me, I prefer fixing a goal, and I would like to sit, to brainstorm, to be able to execute it. Is it routine? I don't think so. It's for me discipline. English is not my first language, and there is not a huge difference between habit and routine in my language. So not sure if I answer well.
I have a possible solution from Frank Kern. He has abandoned all the "systems" out there in favor of "3 Things".What is the forum's consensus on goal setting? I have a mindset problem that I have been struggling with for some time.

And here a question... What are you gonna do when you accomplish the biggest goals of your life? How are you going to feel about the future? Just asking...I want to say that I read a lot of books about self-discipline and how to develop yourself. First of all, you should find the biggest goal of your life, after that, you should build small goals to achieve it. Dreams-goals-actions, this is my scheme and it really works. I have 25-50 goals per year and most important there are 5 which I fulfill in the first place. Good luck, plan your day, you should control the time, not the time is that should control you.
