3 Tips to Achieve Your Writing Goals
1. Make your goals achievable.
By achievable, we mean realistic and attainable. You might
unconsciously have set a goal even others will have a hard time
achieving, even if they had the means and the time to do so.
Here's what you can do: break down your goals into small,
realistic goals set against reasonable time frames. Oftentimes,
you'll achieve your bigger goals if you work on achieving the
smaller goals leading to those. The important thing is making
your goals as realistic and as achievable as you can.
2. Devise a feasible plan.
You know what you want, but do you know how to get what you
want? Do you need technical or artistic training to achieve your
goals? Or perhaps further studies? Do you have a set plan of
action that will lead to the achievement of your goals? What
things, both tangible and intangible, do you need to aid you in
reaching your goals?
Take a moment to sit down and list the things you need and make
your action plan. This is a good time to break them down into
small, realistic goals and then tackle them one day at a time!
3. Resist spreading yourself too thinly.
Sometimes, it's better to work on one goal at a time, rather
than doing and shooting for so many all at the same time. Work
on so many goals at one given time and you'll find out you're
nowhere near achieving even one goal. You won't be able to focus
your full energy on one goal.
Prioritize your goals and start with either your top priority or
your most realistic goal. You'll discover you're able to do more
and achieve more using this approach.
