The concept of achieving goals has often times been discussed in terms of stages; planning out exactly what you want to succeed at and planning the process to make it happen. James Clear, however, explained the importance of success being in the scope of a day-to-day basis, rather than the life-longs steps to be accomplished in a huge plan. For example, instead of a coach focusing on the championship trophy, he would focus on the success of practice every day and the goal would simply fall into place. The trophy can still be attained while focusing on other characteristics. The idea of life’s success being taken in less dramatic stages seems to be more stress-free. Instead of planning out the next three years, plan out the success of this week. The little triumphs will assist in attaining your goals.
