Goals that are not written down are just wishes.

First you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.

Some people, in working towards a goal, find themselves seized by inertia when it comes time for action. If this should happen to you, despite the small graduated steps, then it is time to re-examine your goal. Consider how important it actually is and then either discard the goal and replace it with more suitable one or continue the steps with a renewed sense of the value of achieving it.

Goals that are not written down are just wishes.

Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.
