More on goal setting

  • Setting a goal and making it public is the initial step, but having a detailed plan is crucial to accelerate and increase chances of achieving these goals.
  • Rehabilitation examples show that consistency and accountability in physical therapy improve success rates significantly, compared to self-directed rehab.
  • Like physical rehab, training plans for fitness goals require accountability—not just for achieving the final goal but also for adhering to each step of the plan.

  • Personal fitness plans should focus on individual weaknesses, like maintaining diet or consistent exercise, and accommodate realistic lifestyle factors such as sleep and work.
