The interweb is full of countless blogs and articles on happiness and productivity. Are we actually getting more done or just just reading more about it?

That’s why I like this post from the enviously-named Mr Wang: it’s about taking action, a major stumbling point for SmarterFitter wannabes. Mr. Wang’s method of goal-writing is designed so that you not only fine-tune what your goals are, but “program” your brain to achieve those goals.

The idea is: spend 15 minutes a day, every day, writing down your goals, stream of thought style. Through repetition, the goals that matter most will become ingrained into your subconscious mind and as a result, you will be more apt to take action to achieving those goals.

He takes a karmic approach to goal setting. That is, once you’ve convinced yourself that want something, life will work out a way to make that something happen for you. This is a little new agey for my tastes, but then again, if setting goals is all about having dreams, why not live in the clouds?
