Tom Krieglstein explains why your goals need to be hard enough to motivate you but achievable enough to actually hit. A beginner aiming for seven gym days a week will quit, but three workouts per week keeps you pushing without burning out.
Attainable goals. Strike that perfect balance between being too easy or too unrealistically ambitious. Why is this important? Well, goals that are too easy just don't provide enough challenge or motivation. But on the other hand, goals that are too ambitious can be overwhelming and lead to discouragement. For instance, let's go back to our gym goer again. If he had never exercised before, setting a goal to work out seven days a week for an hour might be too ambitious. That would set him up for failure. Aiming for it three times per week, as this person did, is challenging, yet achievable.
