Goals Habits Something you achieve in a certain amount of Something you repeatedly do time and be able to cross it off your list An aim or a desired result Something that a person does regularly Something you work on incrementally until you Ingrained in your daily life that is largely are done subconscious A clear and defined ending Following a system Reference: Atomic Habits by James Clear Time Magazine – Special Edition – The Power of Habits

❖ No difference between Winners and Losers – all have the same goal ❖ No one plans to fail, everyone has goals ❖ Achieving goals are only a momentary change ❖ Temporary life changes; only focused on the result ❖ Goals restrict your happiness ❖ Either you achieve your goal and be happy or you fail at your goal and be disappointed; “either - or” conflict ❖ Goal- orientation can lead to a “yo - yo” effect ❖ Once goals are achieved, there is no purpose to continue the work; motivation is no longer there
