Can goals be easy? What is the secret?Some goals feel difficult. Other goals feel easy to achieve. Why is this?There are many factors that can help us or sabotage us on our way to achieving our goals. Once we understand these building blocks we can put them to use to design goals that work for us.Building blocks? Think of them as tools that remove difficulty and enhance achievement. Look at these five commonsense ideas that help.First humans are shortterm thinkers. Our initial goals need short timelines. We also have shortterm memories.Second our initial goals should be small. We need to build our goalachieving muscles. This will give us confidence.Third we must understand our personality style. This is what sabotages most goals.
