Write Out Your Goals

Jump to Comments

I’m a big believer in writing out your goals and planning your day, week, month, year, and life. So, when I ran across this article, I felt compelled to share it. It was posted on Paula Yee Sing-Edwards’ blog, plus on Fast Company.

According to a study by the Ford Foundation:

  • 23% of the population has no clue what they want from life and as such, they have very litte.
  • 67% of the population has a general idea what they want out of life, but no clue how to attain it.
  • 10% of the population has specific goals
  • Only 7 out of that 10 achieve their goals half the time
  • The top 3% achieved the goals 89% of the time

Paula then notes that “the difference between the 3% elite group and the rest was: THEY WROTE DOWN THEIR GOALS!!! Can you believe it? Sounds too simple, right?”
