Sure, goals that are on-the-nose work fine. But, oftentimes there are difficult-to-define desires or wants that could benefit from a more objective target.
Feeling confident, for example, is a worthy goal if you ask me, but how would you define it?
In this instance, I suggest choosing objective goals with collateral benefit. This means accomplishing the goal will positively affect a number of other (collateral) elements. For example, creating a goal of achieving five strict pull ups has interesting collateral benefits.
Accomplishing the goal serves itself as you’d have five strict pull ups under your belt, but the goal would benefit from losing bodyfat, improving strength, healing shoulder injuries, improving skill, and likely improving your confidence!
One goal gets you an incredible “bonus” benefit.
The next time you set out to focus on a goal, consider a goal that would improve several elements of your life at once!
