The key to unlocking your true potential and increasing your productivity lies in setting and achieving specific, measurable goals. Setting clear and measurable goals allows you to focus your efforts on specific tasks and objectives, rather than wasting time and energy on unimportant tasks. By setting goals, you can also track your progress and see the results of your efforts. So, what you should do?

Find your niche

If you completely blind about what goals that you want to achieve, I have some trick to find who you are

  • Sit down comfortably with paper and pen in front of you or other devices (but I recommend you use the paper and pen because its science approval more effective)
  • I want you to start to write your book with your own story
  • Imagine what kind of future that you really want
  • Treat your ideal future as the end goal of your story
  • Make note of your past, there are a select few pivotal moments that can be your starting point of the book
  • Write down, an outline of the book. What are the chapters that must be included to reach the end of your goals
  • Create key points for each of those chapters
  • Taraa.. you got the goals

But, be patient isn’t about how fast you are to finish the outline, but it is about how you could build self-awareness within yourself.

Take action

However, simply setting goals is not enough. In order to truly unlock your potential and increase your productivity, you must also take action and work towards achieving these goals on a daily basis. This means breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and consistently working towards their completion.

You could use Notion to manage your goals, for instance my goal is to read one book each month, I use Notion to track my progress and take note too on there. You can get the notion template here.

Additionally, it’s important to hold yourself accountable for your goals. This means setting a deadline for each goal, and regularly reviewing your progress to ensure that you’re on track to achieving it. One of many way to doing it is thru journaling. Here’s I have some prompt for journaling as daily, weekly, and monthly basis, so u can keep monitoring your progress. You can use them freely, click here.

  • Specific: Your goal should be specific and clearly defined. Be sure to answer the questions of who, what, when, where, why and how
  • Measurable: Your goal should be quantifiable so you can track your progress and measure your success.
  • Attainable: Your goal should be challenging but realistic and achievable within the given time frame.
  • Relevant: Your goal should align with your values, skills, and interests, and be relevant to your life.
  • Time-bound: Your goal should have a deadline so that you can stay motivated and on track towards achieving it.

All that prompt will ensure that your goals are clear, realistic and can be achieved.

Vision Board (The Bigger Picture)

When setting goals, it’s important to also consider the bigger picture. While it’s important to focus on short-term goals and tasks, it’s also important to have a long-term vision and to work towards achieving your larger life goals. The one you can do is create vision board based of highly self that you want in the future, I have the example here:
