This is great to hear! Breaking down your goals is definitely a great way to make them more manageable. And I love that you are including the family in your goals :)

Exactly!

That’s an interesting tactic. Thanks for sharing. Would you then schedule the ‘break down’ across the comings weeks or months – the bigger the goal, the more you’d plan out the smaller tasks that you need to execute on?

I have a rule to do one thing towards my goals every day, so I will typically break large goals into small ones that are feasible to achieve in a few minutes to an hour. This is typically done on an Excel spreadsheet so I can keep track of how far I have come!

I agree with Nitin too, I’ve found accountability to be so important. If you do anything in life, you have to find some way of keeping yourself accountable: it’s critical to sustaining motivation and hitting goals. We’re only human, it’s only natural to lose steam along the way.

Too much planning can prevent taking action, but breaking down tasks as you say is a really effective way of turning something, seemingly too-big-to-tackle, into an achievable target. How do you find it best to break topics down Anette?

Thanks,
