Clarity of purpose

Goal clarity is the degree to which you know what is to be achieved, how to progress, and why the goal is important.

Definition

A goal only becomes useful when it is sufficiently specific, understandable and related to action. Clarity of purpose reduces cognitive chaos, facilitates the selection of priorities and reduces the number of spurious decisions. It's not about rigidity, but about orientation: knowing where to go and when to correct course.

Practice and life

Write the goal in one sentence and below it three criteria: result, deadline and first measurable step.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to confuse a goal with a loose desire. A common mistake is to formulate the goal so generally that it is impossible to distinguish action from circling around the topic.
