Goal Setting

I found an interesting article which I think will help to plan my life list.  The article talks about how we can re-frame our goals so that they become bullet proof. 

In a nutshell, when we write goals most of us want to, and try to achieve perfection.  It is therefore inevitable that for the most part, we all fail!  The article suggests that we should perceive our goals as 'getting better' goals, and think of our goals in 'terms of progress, not perfection'. 

The article by Psychological Today makes a really good read whether you are thinking about a life list, or even just goal setting in a work environment.
