[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1592788, member: 345386"] Guzzler, there's nothing wrong with having a bigger picture goal, underwritten by a number of staged sub-goals. By that I mean something like, "my goal is to run a marathon within 12 months" (or whatever), the sub-goals might be to run 5km by February (or whatever), then focus on the sub-goal, then another sub-goal from Feb to May, or whatever. Going for the immediate end game, big goal can just be too much and too far away to be able to track progress on a credible basis. I am goal oriented. I thrive on goals and deadlines, but I'm also a bit of a perfectionist. Trust me, that can be a toxic mix, but I find that by setting credible, serial sub-goals I can usually get to my end game, whereas striving solely for end game on day one can be a bit overwhelming. Goal setting isn't easy, and should never be done in a rush, if you want to really commit to them. [/QUOTE]
