Dr. Noah St John explains why big goals kill motivation: they feel too large and distant. Break them into smaller steps and daily habits instead. Progress comes from consistent incremental action, not grand plans.
Hey, Dr. Noah, why do we set goals and then lose the motivation?
Why do we set goals and then lose motivation? It's because the goal seems too big or too distant. It's really important to set your goals, but then break each goal into smaller achievable steps, and then break those steps into daily habits. The word progress comes from the Latin word progradere, which means to step forward. So that's why it's so important to take small, manageable steps every day and then install the habits so that you can keep that motivation along the way to your bigger goals. That's how you're going to have the time freedom and the financial freedom and reach your big goals a lot faster with a lot less stress.
Thank you, Dr. Noah.
