Goal setting: a practical approach to grow
summary
Claims that writing goals yields measurable gains: a one‑year self‑assessment yields 60% of written goals achieved, routines lift that to about 80% success. Uses concrete tools: the wheel of life, a 150→101 wishes exercise, a vision board, Google Forms (37 invites, 20 responses) for external perception, AppSheet habit tracker, and quarterly OKRs with key results (example: five meetups with 60 attendees and 80% satisfaction). Workflow: retrospective → design → plan → track, with daily retrospectives and calendared habit slots.
