Goal Setting Is F'n BORING!

Goal setting involves establishing specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-targeted goals Work on the theory of goal-setting suggests that an effective tool for making progress is to ensure that participants in a group with a common goal are clearly aware of what is expected from them.

On a personal level, setting goals helps people work towards their own objectives. Goal setting features as a major component of personal development literature.

It is considered an “open” theory, so as new discoveries are made it is modified. Studies have shown that specific and ambitious goals lead to a higher level of performance than easy or general goals. As long as the individual accepts the goal, has the ability to attain it, and does not have conflicting goals, there is a positive linear relationship between goal difficulty and task performance.



Goals are a form of motivation that sets the standard for self-satisfaction with performance. Achieving the goal one has set for oneself is a measure of success, and being able to meet job challenges is a way one measures success in the workplace.

BLA BLA BLABETTY BLA!!!!

F'n BORING!

If this is the way one looks at goal setting, or should I say for those that actually take the time to set them in the first place, a drastic change needs to occur in such a person.

Goal setting is a dream accompanied by an action plan. If you think goal setting is boring, you have obviously forgotten how to dream. Remember as children we all had lofty crazy thoughts of what we wanted to be in life. But when did those crazy dreams become considered as crazy? The answer to that question is when you became what society has dictated you to become. Somehow, somewhere, someone told you that life is supposed to be a certain regimented way. They taught you how to think as they have been taught to think instead of encouraging you to pursue your dreams and think on your own.

So, let's start by unlearning what you have learned and learn to dream as children dream. Without restriction. Without limitations. All things are possible.

DARE to dream
