How to actually achieve your goals

Fact: The closer we are to achieving something, the more likely we are to do it. So if your goal feels like it’s going to take forever to get to, move the goalposts.

Breaking down goals into smaller steps not only helps you build confidence that you’ll do what you set out to—it helps build momentum to push you forward so you keep going.
