    Good points.
    I'd like to add, most important things in goal setting is their relevancy. Most people set goals that aren't exactly their own. If you set to learn a language, you'd better know why. Most people just want to speak... French, let's say. But learning a language isn't such a simple endeavour, is it? So, we'll never get to do it just because of lack of motivation. To be motivated that far, the goal needs to be much greater than just a wish.

    1. Be very specific + achievable with your goal. Break it down into steps. Brian Tracey has a book “Goals” that details this.
    2. Track your progress over time with when you want to accomplish each step.
    3. If you don’t reach your goals, e.g you fall short of it a little bit, don’t give up. Try and make the most of what you have done or what you can do.
    4. Visualisation of yourself achieving your goal in the future can be a powerful tool to actually getting there.
    5. Writing your goals down can help a lot.
    6. Someone who keeps you in check with your goal (or an accountability buddy) gives you a support system that can keep you going.
    7. Clear your cognitive and even physical space to avoid distraction away from your goal.

    It amazes me how many people think this way about setting goals. It must work somehow. However, I have never in my life achieved goals in this manner. For me, it is insane. Instead, I believe there is a plan for my life that is predestined. I look for the plan, and then, I set out to accomplish it. When it is not working, I realize I am off plan somehow and I revise my actions to get back on the plan. It works so well, and I accomplish so much that way. But Dr. Izzy is a very interesting person.

    Izzy, you spoke about setting goals and the methods to be used, to attain our goals...i believe, first we have to set our goal sensibly, rationally, wisely. Then we have create a sensible action plan or strategy. Then we got to execute our action plan to attain our goals...since every human being are different in their own way, everybody can use their own ways to accomplish their goals.... accomplishing your important goals, will give you thrills, adrenaline rush and proud feeling... Having goals in life are very important...

    Only came across your channel today, it was great. I have been setting goals for the past 2 years and used very similar techniques especially writing it down. I wrote down the daily tasks/goals after I done it on the daily basis (yoga, reading, skateboarding, play paino, play drumkit, walking my dogs, each task one hour a day, one after another). Itt really worked! I was able to pretty achieved 80% for a whole year

    I'm doing everything you said and it helps a lot. Too bad that some things are slowing me down or even blocking me, because I have no control over them, so I have to adjust a lot. But I'm not giving up and I can fix the steps I have to take to reach my goals.
    Lately I've done a lot of work to really feel that it can take more time or more steps to achieve something and it's not a failure. I can do those things and get to my goals in another way or a bit later that expected without giving up in the middle.

    You gave an example at 4:22 that definitely opened my eyes. Abandoning the thing we wanted to do just because it turned out we didn't have as much time as we hoped for it. I realized that I do that often. I'll definitely try to be aware if I think like this again. Any time spent on what we want to improve on is helpful to reach our goal. Even if turns out to be bits here and there. Also, it definitely beats not working on it at all!

    Having goals in life is incredibly important. Goals provide direction and purpose, helping you focus your energy and efforts towards achieving something meaningful. They give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when you make progress or reach milestones. Setting goals can also help you prioritize your time and resources, making you more efficient and effective in pursuing your aspirations. So, whether they are related to personal growth, career, relationships, or other areas of your life, setting goals can be a powerful tool for self-improvement and fulfillment.
