They say, we work better when there is a goal involved. Whether by list or sheer will, when there is a particular goal that is being strived for, we tend to think in a straight line and go from A-Z in a much, more civil manner. There is more hope for a successful ending. It looks much like this photo, a series of steps where each action moves the goal closer and closer. No time for 3 steps forward and 1 back. This is an all-out forward motion, no turning back. It is all or nothing. If you fail, you must start at the beginning, and make another run at it.
A lot of life is played like a goal. If losing weight is the goal, you make a run at it every day, There is no given, choices have to be made and many, many days of good choices, doesn't guarantee success. If we have a certain goal in mind, it is usually accompanied with a timetable. Life is lived 3 forward and I back but goals, come with built in expectations. From here to there in, (insert expectation here).
Never have been much of a goal person unless you include getting everything on a grocery list which comes with the expectation that what I want from the store, makes it on the list. Goals are short-term and I don't have that kind of time. If you are goal-oriented, bless you and please write a book...
