Goal setting is usually something that's done wrong. It's one thing to set goals, it's another thing entirely, to actually achieve them.
How many times have you used goal-setting techniques only to lose motivation or never even get started?
At the end of the day, we really don't care about goal-setting techniques, we care about actually accomplishing our goals.
