Yes, it is very important to have small milestones in our life so that we keep ourselves inspired and motivated to keep on going without disappointment and disapproval to detach ourselves. It is true that we get diverted and distracted, do we not? Some get easily and some get after some good amount of time, but we do get distracted. Therefore, it is important that we keep some attachment with our goal by making small tiny goals that help us reach our final goal; making small milestones to reach a bigger reward.
I am talking about stepping stones that will help you reach your goal. So how do we do that? We make note of our primary steps or factors to complete our final goal. For example, in HIVE I am targeting to post every day but not in one platform but in 3. So we design the steps and research to be done to complete these for being able to post it down. The first challenge is to find your community, the second challenge is to fix a topic, the third challenge is to orient it for the three different communities, and finally, the last challenge will be to complete it all but by steps.
But, before completing the steps it is important to do enough brainstorming and to do loads of research according to need analysis. So once we complete each task or challenge, we reward ourselves, we complete each milestone. If we look at it in this way, every task that we complete we have achieved a milestone, and don't you think reaching milestones one after another is quite amazing? Yes, it is, and you have done it.
In the long run, this is effective as these small rewards keep us content while we target to aim for the bigger goal but, with completing milestones. Finally, when we reach the end, it won't feel as if we were struggling to reach one goal but it would be that we have passed many goals and finally completed the race.
