True Religion – I agree, a lot of people get stuck doing things that get in the way of their goals. I do it all the time – but what helps me out when obstacles get in my way is just to try to be as practical as I can. Weigh your options and ask yourself 2 questions: “Is whatever I’m doing priority or not?” and “Is this achievable and realistic?”

I think my emotions but also lack of time organization sometimes get in the way of my goals. Sometimes I let less important things suck up a lot of my time….

I agree that goal setting is an important aspect of achieve your financial goals. It helps keep you motivated and more importantly you should be monitoring how well you are progressing with your goals. I like your point about setting overall goals followed by specific goals to achieve your overall goal.

Good points about setting realistic, but beneficial goals. It can be difficult to figure out the right level of goal that motivates without discouraging.

I like the idea of setting intermediary goals. It can be overwhelming to try and “go for it” all at once.

I think this is a well written post. It took me a few years and a lot of soul searching to figure out my goals. For me, by having goals I have a plan and I know what to focus my attention on each day.

I think my emotions but also lack of time organization sometimes get in the way of my goals. Sometimes I let less important things suck up a lot of my time. That time spent on those other things could have been spent on my goals.

Best wishes,

Janie

There’s the old story about Harvard students setting goals and not setting goals. Funny thing is that every guru mentioned this statistic and it ended up being fabricated.
