Do you write down your goals?

    Goal-writing is no doubt a very effective way to get you
    motivated and help you take action towards certain
    achievements.

    A lot of self-help experts and psychologists advocate goal
    writing as a must for any kind of plan, whether it is personal
    or business.

    So do you write down your as well as personal goals?

    How has goal-writing helped you?

    I use to but I found that they were lost in the shuffle of paperwork and I lost track of them. Now i just try to set goals and work toward them without writing them down.

    Yes I have a white board in my room where I write down my goals for the year, so every morning I wake up to it.

    Writing down your goals is very effective way of itching them permanently in your mind....

    I have developed this habit of writing down...way too early in life....

    Yes. I write my goals on a paper the size of a credit card and then I laminate it. I put it on my wallet and will remember my goals every time when I'm paying something. :D

    Writing goal is good habit and focusing mind toward goal is great habit.

    People write goals but very few focus on it :D

    Usually I don't write it down since there is only one at a time, so it's easy to remember.

    I've started "organising" my goals, just to figure out various things in life:p

    I did try to write down my goals in the past when developing websites; but due to time constraints, I have stopped doing so.

    I always write them down so I can always look at them. If I don't I get distracted be stupid stuff that will never make me any money.

    I do not write down goals because I do not really believe in goals that have to be written down. I usually have my personal goals in my mind and I keep them there. This motivates me enough!

    I used to write in a paper. There were too many goals and I needed many papers which made my room a mess. I stopped writing then, now I keep my longest goal in my mind and shortest ones in folders.... :D

    I write the works to be done in a bit of paper and keep it safe. As I complete the task one by one, I will delete them in that order and new tasks are added. So the list is never ending and grows. When the space is insufficient, it is time to get a new bit of paper...:D

    I do, but not in a way like " must earn £30k by the summer " more along the lines of weekly goals, " complete tasks 1, 2, 3, 4 + 5, purchase bla bla " things like that

    Learn this n that, acheivable goals i will jot down otherwise i can forget many ideas and something gets delayed longer than it needed to be.
