This lecture provides an overview of the course.
Extend goal setting with common techniques and personal productivity to boost motivation and achievement. Explore lists, Trello, and simple decision analysis to prioritize actions.
Explore goal setting by defining achievable, incremental, and measurable goals, apply common techniques, and connect aims to your passions for meaningful progress.
An introduction to setting achievable, incremental and measurable goals.
Compare smart goals to AIM goals, arguing for incremental, evolutionary progress: make goals specific enough to be measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely, with an emphasis on incremental steps.
Set achievable, measurable, and timely goals by breaking them into incremental tasks and subtasks, using blue sky thinking to plan guitar practice, career upgrades, and personal priorities.
Develop high-level goal setting by building hierarchical lists in Word, turning aims into measurable, incremental, and actionable tasks through multilevel headings and auto numbering.
Define your life direction through thoughtful goal setting. Create achievable, incremental, and measurable goals by using your gut and passions, and apply practical techniques to move toward achieving them.
Achieve your goals through motivation, discipline, and persistence, build and sustain momentum, then rinse and repeat for lifelong progress.
How to use build motivation and momentum.
Use discipline (aka management) to direct your momentum.
Establish a daily routine to defend your time and pursue your goals, resisting daily interruptions. Envision success, keep multiple paths, and persist by stepping around obstacles toward eventual achievement.
Return to Lecture 2 and start all over again.
Move first to break free from a rut and steer toward your goals with disciplined use of lists. Overcome obstacles by pushing through or finding alternatives, then review and repeat to refine and achieve linked goals, as illustrated by Jake's path to becoming a chef.
Conclude the course by presenting an intermission with advanced features and then guide you in managing your personal productivity to achieve the goals you set.
In this lecture I discuss how we learn and then internalize new skills to make them lasting habits.
This is it. My final words of advice. Go forth and achieve goals!

Perhaps it's time to change...
