Shorten Your Time Frame

I had a lot of great goal chats last week. The gym was buzzing with new ideas, new found motivation and a desire to kick ass in 2020. A funny observation, no one told me their goal for January. Many of you have big plans for 2020, but no one seems to know what they’re going to do in January that will affect the rest of the year. 

I’m not a New Year’s Resolution basher, but if you’ve spent the last couple weeks thinking of all the stuff you’re going to start doing in the New Year, but have no action plan as to what you’re going to accomplish today, you don’t really have goals, you have a desires list. 

You need something to work towards, something you can check a box off on every day. A year is a nice time frame. We have a starting an ending point so it becomes easy for us to say “I’ll do X this year.” This mindset however, bypasses the short term. What do you need to do now? What do you need to do the first 3 months opposed to the last 3 months? 

If you have some solid goals, great, I’ll do everything I can to help get you there. If you’re unsure what you want to do this year, forget thinking about goals in terms of a year. What can you do in January, February and March? What can you do this week or today?

Shorten your timeframe if you’re overwhelmed or unsure what you’re trying to do.
