One great way of organizing your life so that you have strong habits on a daily basis is to focus on a really, really large, huge, gigantic goal. Even if you don't succeed in everything, every part of it, even if you only do a tiny percentage of it, it's still going to be a big win in your life. For me, for the last six months or so, my biggest goal is creating a self improvement program, an app that will help 1 billion people around the globe and generate a billion dollars a year. That's my stretch goal. I spend time on that every single day and it automatically changes a lot of my daily habits. It has a greater focus on what I read, what I write, and what I do. What is your giant stretch goal?
