Got some nice fitness in with a good #walk. #fitness #goals

Kingston tried to find everyone a family doctor by the end of 2025. They're still working on it
Physician retirements and a clinic that has yet to hit its full capacity are among the factors that kept Kingston, Ont., from reaching its goal of connecting every patient to a primary care provider by the end of last year.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Far better it is to dare mighty things, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much or suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

Met someone today whilst networking who was talking about goal-setting, etc. He asked me and the other gal in the breakout room what our goals are for the end of Feb.

Her: "I want to increase my email list by 50 and get 2 new clients."
Me: "I want to finish this course I'm working on, and finish creating the marketing strategy I'm working with a strategist on."

His comment, rushed just as the breakout room ended, was that her goal was spot on, because it's measurable. I, however, apparently need to adjust mine to be measurable.

🤔

I think some people don't understand what measurable means.

Either I'll finish the course and making the strategy, or I won't: it can be measured.

Perhaps he was so focused on looking for a number that he missed that the number for each is 1.

Or maybe he's more used to outcome goals (like hers), whereas I almost only ever set input goals, because that's the bit I can control (my goal is to do X, which I hope will result in Y, but whether it does or not, if I've done X, I've met my goal).

Also, after decades at this, I've concluded that goal-setting is highly unique to the individual. It's amazing how many people assume that what works for them will work for you, whole cloth. It generally doesn't.

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings
1) Recruiter reached out about a position that involves working with a crew I admired/ enjoyed supporting a decade ago. #Daydreaming
2) Saw a grad school friend IRL on the street. 1st time in person ever. (It was a program that went fully virtual because of Covid.) They were nice.
3) Work friend retired today. The messages from people about his impact were moving. I want to also be remembered as someone who helped others grow! #Goals

Why Most Goals Fail

The Goal Hierarchy
Outcome goals → "Lose 20 lbs" (can't control)
Performance goals → "Run a 5K" (partially control)
Process goals → "Walk 30 min daily" (full control)
Focus on what you control.
Outcomes follow.

My Comment: Our #future needs education, a global sense of #unity, a focus on important #goals: #climateneutrality, new technologies or space exploration. But in #Germany, as elsewhere, signs point to #nationalism, #xenophobia, #racism. #AfD and other #rightwing activists are the #wrong path. Inter alia, I see negative influences also in some German #duelingfraternities.
