Too often in our lives have we've been told that we should focus our energies on setting goals when we want to be successful. Though they typically do more good than harm, being stuck in the mindset of setting goals can cause us to lose track of where we are in the present.
For goal setting to be effective we must be clear in recognizing that it identifies the desired destination, not the road map to get there. In order for goals to be realized, routines and systems need to be set in place. Routines and systems are the function and form that allows you to look at your goals like reasons to celebrate rather than something to gauge your success by.
An example of putting more focus on routines and systems as opposed to goals would be :
Instead of saying "I want to gain X amount of SteemIt followers or X STEEM POWER", you can commit to a few things that will definitely push your profile in that direction like
- posting some original content at least 3-4 times per week (preferably more)
- interacting with the community at least an hour a day
- aim to participate in at least 1 SteemIt contest/activity per week
- join and engage SteemIt groups like Steem Speak or PAL on discordapp
The combining of simple routines like this create the systems that will make your SteemIt profile or any other endeavors a lot more successful than just setting goals for yourself.
In the video below I take you guys on a trip with me while I start my day off with one of my regular routines...Check it out!
