The Power of ʺProcess Goalsʺ
Process goals focus on what you need to do to achieve a larger goal rather than on the big goals themselves.
Tired of forgetting the books you’ve read?
Process goals help you reduce your big, ugly goals into something easier for you to action and understand.
Here are a few examples of process goals (with their corresponding higher-level goal in brackets):
Eat and drink no more than 1,500 calories a day (Goal: Lose 15 pounds before summer)
Lift weights for 45 minutes 4 days a week for a month (Goal: Gain 5 pounds of muscle mass in three months)
Call 5 potential clients before lunch every day this week (Goal: Increase your sales by 25% this quarter)
💡 Instead of setting specific outcomes you want to achieve (an approach that often leads to demotivation, procrastination, and other -ation’s), you set goals that will create the conditions you’re likely to achieve your outcomes in.
