Are you a List maker or/a Goal Setter?

Hi, my husband is a very consistent list maker, and is able to set goals and meet them consistently day after day. He makes a grocery list and sticks to it. If he doesn't do everything on the daily list, it really bothers him; but he just rolls it to the next day. I find having a list can be very helpful in trying to achieve certain goals, but my husband has list for everyday of the week. I set goals for myself; but often times they are not realistic or achievable in the time I allow myself. So, my next goal is to start making realistic, achievable, goals and lists. What are you, a consistent list maker and goal setter or a hit and miss list maker and goal setter, (like me)? Be happy, be joyfu, be safe, be strong! OOHCUTE2340

Hi Springs! The only suggestion I can make; is that you shorten your list and make realistic goals. I have the same problem, lots of list making but missing the goal altogether, so I am re-evaluating my lists, and plan to start fresh in February, just don't give up. Best wishes!

Dear friend, I used write down my goals but later stopped it but at times I would write in my pocket diary just not to forget it. Still I hope to get successive in goals might be much important. Those who get their goals success are really lucky.

Well, for the most part the only way I feel I can ever achieve any type of goals that I might set for myself, I have to Write lists of things I need to achieve first in order to get there. I am often caught making lists and writing things down as well. I feel it helps when trying to meet a Budget of any sort, and a great way to make sure you get everything done you need to as well.

Oh I agree it's a good idea, my problem is I make the list and leave it at home, or I spend more time making the lists then actually reaching the goals thanks for your response, be happy, be joyful, be safe, be strong!!!! Oohcute2340

I like to set goals and make a list of things to do to meet those goals but I am not inflexible. If something does not seem feasible after a while I just let it go and watch it make its complete cycle. Knowing also makes me achieve a goal. Cheers!!
