Wrote the below little spiel while I was lying in bed before going to sleep on the 1st of December 2020 after I just written down 16 of my life goals, something that I had been procrastinating on for a very long time.
On the night of the 1st of December 2020, before I went to sleep while lying in bed, I spent about 10 minutes and wrote down my life goals.
I came up with a total of 16 and I think I can achieve them all within a couple of years from now.
Some of them I have already completed, some I could tick off very soon and a couple are going to have to be big long term and ongoing projects.
It felt so good to externalise them in a list and into paper. It feels quite surreal that writing them down can actually make you psychologically better and more confident in executing them.
The next step then is to setup the applicable systems to put in place so that the goals come to fruition just through process.
Something I learned through Scott Adams in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.
I just need to action some of the systems and get the ball rolling on them.
I know I can achieve them and I know with even greater confidence that I can achieve them now that I have cleanly written them down.
It’s been a long while coming and procrastination is an absolute killer for these sorts of high leverage, not urgent but very important activities.
The inspiration for me to write those goals or objectives down was through a video showing a snippet of Joe Rogan talking about how to live by a clear set of rules and to take time out of your day to just sit down and write down exactly what it is that you want.
(Link to the video here).
Once you know what you want, you need to get up off your chair and go and get it.
Understanding why you want something is also extremely overlooked.
The why really cements the what and the how…more on this later.
