I love talking about goals...
But I also love learning from Twitter's best thinkers.
@thedankoe just so happens to be fluent on the topic.
I dove deep through his treasure trove of tweets & hand-picked my favorite lessons.
But first, why goals?

But first, why goals?
1: Goals = Happiness
The truth is, goals make life hard.
They require discipline, work ethic, and a whole boatload of sacrifice.
Why in the world would you put yourself through that?

According to Dan, it's because the reward we get is unlike anything else.
With the right goal, we're gifted this unique combination of joy, accomplishment, and —most importantly— purpose.
That feeling alone is worth the price of admission.

2: Accountability
Life is filled with distractions.
A good goal keeps you focused on what matters most.
When you're out of alignment with your goals, your subconscious will constantly drive you back to them —helping you stay accountable & on track.

3: Bright Future
A goal without a Vision is like a car without gas.
Dan points out that if we want that "Bright Future" effect, we need to tether our goal to a greater vision for our life.

For example:
Your goal is to launch this business...
But your vision is to lead a life where you can wake up without an alarm clock or go on vacation when the whim strikes.
Goal + Vision = Bright Future effect

4: Attainable Progress
Big goals create motivation, but small goals keep you motivated.
Break that big inspiring goal down into more attainable micro-goals.
The quicker you see progress, the more likely you are to keep at it.

5: Find the "Lead Measures"
Once you have your goal, stop focusing on it.
Instead, identify the actions that are most likely to "lead" to the outcome you want. Those are your Lead Measures.
Focus on executing those consistently.

6: Leverage Habits & Routines
Once you know what needs to get done, how do you increase the likelihood that you'll actually do those things?
Dan notes that habits, routines —and I'll add, batching— help to decrease friction and amplify execution.

7: Prioritize to Progress
Stop trying to do it all every day.
Instead, pick the few tasks that are most likely to create the greatest impact.
Dan sticks with 3 big lever tasks and gets them out of the way first thing.
