Many of us already have a goal in mind. Some of us have many goals in mind, in fact, we may have too many goals in mind. On the other end of the spectrum, you may have no idea what your goal is. Regardless of what side of the fence you are, it is most effective to have yourself focused on one main goal. When you are able to do this you will be able to decdicate all of your energy toward the one thing you are working towards. This main goal does not have to have a time limit, it can be short term or long term. It can be something that needs to be done in a month or something like a for year degree. Here are five reasons you should pick one goal and focus on it rather than scattered goals all over the place.
- Picking one goal allows you to focus. Anyway that can get you to focus more on what you need to is beneficial. This goes back to growing the largest pumpkin, you take out all of the little pumpkins to allow the pumpkin to grow the largest. This is the same for our goals.
- You can make a time budget and schedule based on the one goal. When you are focused on one goal and you are going to allocate as much as your time as you can to that one goal. This saves time on deciding what to do with unexpected free time.
- You can determine how much fulfillment you get from your goal. Determining how much satisfaction you get from goal or project can only be truly understood by how doing a lot of it.
- You can find out if you want to pursue your goal at all. Sometimes we make goals and realize they turn out to be something we did not really want to do after all. The best way to truly understand how much we like something is if we go all in and focus on something.
Having one goal at a time is an essential part of achieving your goals. This part is essential to focusing on one thing at a time. Whatever your goal is, whether it is a college degree, starting a business, writing a book, or getting to a certain weight. These undertakings need to be one at a time to be most effectively completely. Once one is done, you can safely move on the next big goal. For example, if you desire to start a business while still in school, it is much better to finish school first and then focus on the business. Focusing on too many goals at once can cause you to lose focus and not achieve any of them! So instead of running in all different directions, focus on the path in front of you and go straight ahead.
