This is in complete contrast with when you do things based off a whim and it doesn’t matter whether you complete them or not. When you set a goal for yourself you make yourself accountable to finish the task. – Sidney Howard 4. Goals Help You Overcome Procrastination One half of knowing what you want, is knowing what you must give up before you get it. And by the way, if you didn’t know yet this is how you become successful, you set a goal, you lock it in and then give it your 100%. You subconsciously keep away from distractions and your focus remains only on the goal.

No matter who you meet along the way or what you see (assuming nothing is out of the ordinary) your goal allows you to stay locked in. Would you get distracted by “anything” along the way? Would you stop for a break or a snack? Would you stop by your house before going to the airport? I bet you answered no for each question and at the end of the day, this is what a goal gives you. So you make it a goal to reach the airport in 15 minutes by jogging so that you can have more time to say your goodbyes. You leave right after work at 8:30 PM to see him off and you know it’s a 20-minute walk to get to the airport. Your best friend is moving to Switzerland and his flight takes off at 9:00 PM. This process happens automatically and subtly but according to research does happen. When you have a certain endpoint in mind you automatically stay away from certain distractions and stay focused towards the goal. 3.

Take this scenario for example David makes a goal to write a book with a minimum of 300 pages. Zig Ziglar 2. Goals Allow You To Measure Progressīy setting goals for yourself you are able to measure your progress because you always have a fixed endpoint or benchmark to compare with. If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time. This sense of direction is what allows your mind to focus on a target and rather than waste energy shooting aimlessly, it allows you to hit your target and reach your goal. By setting goals for yourself you give yourself a target to shoot for. Because at the end of the day goals are what give you direction in life. Just like how sunlight can’t burn through anything without a magnifying glass focusing it, you can’t achieve anything unless a goal is focusing your effort. You can have all the potential in the world but without focus your abilities and talent are useless. It’s pointless and a waste of energy and effort. Why would you aim there? And what would the purpose be? Get the idea? This is a literal example of what life is like without a goal or target in mind. Where would you aim? And say you did aim at some random thing (out of sheer perplexity). Imagine having to shoot an arrow without being given a target. 5 Reasons Why Goal Setting Is Important: 1. Goals Give You Focus
