Last year I got intense about making goals and new years resolution. In fact there were 7 general categories with 3 defined goals under each category. I accomplished many of those goals and failed on many more. I shared them with a close group of friends and asked for accountability. I had big dreams for 2010 and don't misunderstand; 2010 was a big year and I am truly thankful and blessed. However, one of my biggest mistakes might have been sharing my goals with others. Or at least that is what some people think. Watch the talk from Derek Sivers at TED below. Essentially once you share or state your goal or resolution you brain can sometimes function as if you actually have completed the goal.
What are your thoughts; to share your goals or not? I think there is a balance. However, I did not share my goals this year or make any detailed plan of major improvements.
I think you're right. Balance and what is best for you. Goals are meant to help and not tear you down. If they do that, then rethink the whole process. I shared some of mine this year. I like the idea at this point for me. Have others knows what I'm striving for and keep me a bit more accountable. Great stuff. Thanks. -Travis
