Setting clear concise goals is definitely a way to stay on top of our goals. They motivate us to achieve goals. Without setting small goals we lose direction and motivation. Setting numbers, I believe are some of the best types of goals as they keep you on track of where you are in relation to meeting the goal. When we meet one goal then we up the numbers to keep the goal a challenge. We wouldn't work out with the same number of weights and reps for months and months would we? Probably not because that is no challenge for our bodies. I believe the same thing goes for our goals! @Jeremy Yes I agree.

Those two can go hand in hand if one is not careful. I know there are times I want to just watch an NBA basketball game when I'm working on something important, or chat away on Facebook with a friend. And those things are ok - but they can eat up large chunks of time. I think that in order to see results, one should define a clear outcome. Something as simple as - I'm going to comment on 10 blogs this week, or I'm going to get my Alexa rank to 2 million this month, or I'm going to guest post on 3 blogs this month. I like to use numbers for things because they are concrete for me :) Great one Jarrod, the last two hit home to me – not seeing results and getting sidetracked.
