At the start of every year, many of set goals in which we want to accomplish within the span of twelve long months. Like many people I set goals as well. And I tend to stick to them. Unfortunately, I always seems like I never do enough.
Recently, I sat on a Super Saturday hosted by my local RWA chapter. The guest speaker was New York Times writer Debbie Macomber who took the time out to tell us how she broke into the business. Her life story as a struggling writer was inspiring, and I took away more than I expected. One of them being her use of goals. Not just yearly goals but also weekly and even daily.
I didn’t give much thought to advice since I essentially chalked it up to writing down a to-do-list BUT when I went home and put it to work, I found I could do more in average day with a goal list than without it.
Since the meeting I’ve completed a manuscript, sent it into my editor, finalized an overdue trip to Europe, started a major project in my nine-to-five job and expanded another internet venture I started a little over a year ago.
So, set your goals and just do it!
