This is completely true, but there is a potential danger in it too.

When you think of what to do TODAY, and you don’t feel like it, you will be easier to skip it. At that point, you should think again about the ultimate goal, so you need to skip all those months and think of the outcome.

But what you’ve said works most of the times great Glen, you only need to focus on today. Don’t get distracted and eventually demotivated, by tomorrow!

I love the idea of shortening your time frame. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed when looking at things long-term. For many people, it brings way too much anxiety and leads to complete discouragement. Your tip for concentrating on what you can do today was perfect. One of my favorite books is The Power of Now and you summed up the basic premise of that book in a few paragraphs.

A great motivating post! Thanks, Glen. Perfect for me today, as I struggle with the day to day time squeeze, and could use a better plan. Thank goodness I already speak Dutch!:)

Very well said Glen.

I keep my focus on the end result and don’t get discouraged with the hard work it takes. I like the feeling of accomplishment and that’s what I keep in my mind at all times. I do like to plan ahead though. I plan my days weeks at a time and focusing on the results gets me to stay on track with the work.

Thanks

Really great article Glen. Your thoughts on keeping focused on staying focused on the immediate actions of the day are right on target for me. I do wonder how it relates to setting long term goals though. I guess you have to map out the steps and then at some point forget what you’re going to be doing a month or even a week down the line.

You are absolutely right! Once you set a goal just focus on today and do catch-ups from time to time. I had a similar situation with an e-commerce project. When I didn’t feel motivated enough to do it, because I could not see the end result I just focused on today and treated it as a step towards my goal. Simple as that.

Thanks for reminding, Glen.

Great article, Glen.

Whenever I think about losing 10kg (or any fat chunk of fat) I feel disheartened and stop going to the gym. But when I focus on the amount of calories I burn each day and how good I will feel after that, going to the gym doesn’t even feel like a commitment, but a natural routine in my life!
