creating deadlines, after which i force myself to move on from those goals & accept that they won't happen (or at least the specific thing i set the deadline for)
Does it mean you miss deadlines often?
What stops you from completing those actions? What would it take you to complete the actions and reach your goals?
yeah, somewhat often —- it’s basically a way for me to verify whether a goal is actually a goal for me (if i don’t care enough to meet a deadline or at least try, it’s not a goal and it’s weighing me down to act like i care about it/expect it to happen)
though sometimes the desire to achieve them comes back much later, and i retry
basically desire would enable me to achieve them or get closer / lack of authentic desire is usually in the way
It seems a majority of people don't even bother to formulate goals, let alone write them down. Yet, the act of writing them down, already gives extra motivation and makes it more likely you achieve (some of) your goals.
