I hate the “#GoalDigger” trend that’s being gold embossed all over notebooks and coffee mugs. I know it’s supposed to be clever and cute but frankly, I think it missed the mark. You don’t dig up goals and I know I’m being super literal with this one but ugh. I’m also sick of seeing “Girl Boss” on everything. Why can’t I just be a boss without having to add my gender in front?
Anyway, this is about goals. And it’s about setting goals that can actually be completed. Funny enough, part of the reason I’m writing this post right now during my last week of college when I should be doing 100 other things like packing or getting ready for senior formal is because of a goal. Three years ago, I set a goal to post twice a week on ew&pt. When that was too overwhelming based on my workload and schedule, I made the goal more realistic by posting once a week. I’ve yet to fail this one and I post every week no matter how busy and crazy life gets. It’s goal that matters to me and it’s one of the very, very few I actually stick to.
Because at the end of the day, setting goals is easy but setting good ones can be tough. Actually achieving them is even tougher. Here’s how we can work on this. Emphasis on the “we.”
