Setting goals for life is quite an ambiguous task and might be very challenging. Once we decompose such a complex thing as “Life” into “Life areas” it instantly becomes more clear and easier to address these areas one by one.
The research shows that writing down goals increases the chances of their completion. On top of that, another research shows that if you share these goals or find an accountability partners you chances of accomplishing those will go even higher.
