The Basics of Goal Setting: Easier Said, Easily Done

Takes goal setting as the open secret known by top-caliber athletes and almost no one runs, and explains the specific, non-motivational value: a well-set goal supplies motivation, sets the direction for the knowledge you need, and lets you measure progress, which is the part most people never get.

Gives the mechanics: start with the real want, not the inherited one, using the test of whether it's worth it if it never produced the status. Break the long into the manageable, build the cascade from a twenty-five-year plan down to monthly, and review the plans for contingencies.
