I find that I'm actually more likely to miss the "easier" goals because I don't have the incentive to really try to make them and I think it will be easy to make them. On the other hand, sometimes I make really lofty goals and actually achieve them, just to prove my doubtful self wrong. Thanks for the comment!R.M.

That's why I blog on specific days--because without the goal of blogging consistently, I might forget to blog entirely. So yeah, goals are very important to me, but I do have a tendency to set very high goals. It helps me to push myself harder than I would have liked to, but it also means that I don't always make those goals, which can be somewhat discouraging. So I do try to temper my goals a little so they seem just a little out of reach. :P Thanks for sharing!

I'm pretty sure I can make it because of my gap year. Your writing goals sound pretty good, and I'm sure you'll do well!Victoria Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036742461356732142noreply@blogger.com
