The Harvard Technique to Set Goals You Actually Achieve

THE ROAD TO UNLOCKING SUCCESS

Hey,

Ever wonder what separates those who achieve their goals from those who don’t? A famous Harvard study revealed that writing down goals makes you 10x more likely to succeed. Today, we’re sharing practical steps to help you set and achieve your goals using this proven method.

1. Write Down Your Goals

  • 83% of people don’t set goals.

  • 14% have goals but don’t write them down.

  • Only 3% write their goals down—and they achieve 10x more.

👉 Take the first step: Write down your goals!

2. Be Specific (Clarity Table)

Instead of vague goals, add details and deadlines:

  • “I want to be fit”“Lose 10 lbs in 3 months by running 3x a week”

  • “I want to save money”“Save $5,000 by reducing dining out to 2x/month”

  • “I’ll start a side hustle”“Launch an Etsy shop with 10 items by December 31”

3. Set Time-Bound Goals

  • Time-bound goals increase success rates by 76%.

  • Sharing your goal with someone adds another 33% boost.

✅ Action: Choose a deadline and tell someone about your goal!

4. Track Your Progress Daily

Use this checklist to stay consistent:

  • Wake up 30 minutes earlier

  • Drink 3 liters of water

  • Read 10 pages of a book

  • Meditate for 5 minutes

  • Track your progress every day

  • Say no to distractions

  • Focus on one task at a time

5. Break It Down

Divide your big goal into mini-goals with deadlines:

  • Big Goal: Start a business

  • Mini-goal 1: Research niche by Jan 15

  • Mini-goal 2: Create prototype by Feb 20

  • Mini-goal 3: Launch by April 1

6. Use “If-Then” Planning

Boost your consistency with this technique:

  • “If I feel too tired to work out, then I’ll walk for 10 minutes instead.”

  • “If I’m distracted by my phone, then I’ll set a 30-minute timer to focus.”

7. Apply the WOOP Method

  • Wish: Define what you want

  • Outcome: Visualize its impact

  • Obstacle: Identify challenges

  • Plan: Prepare solutions

8. Follow the 90-Day Rule

90 days is the sweet spot: long enough to build momentum and short enough to feel urgent.
➡️ Set a 90-day deadline for your next goal and track weekly progress.
