​Most People Never Do This — And It’s Why They Stay Stuck

Harvard research found something wild:

• 83% of people don’t set goals.

• 14% set them but never write them down.

• Only 3% do—and they achieve 10x more.

  
  

Not magic. Just clarity.

Think about it: “I want to get in shape” vs. “Lose 13 lbs in 3 months by running 3x a week."

One floats. The other moves.

Writing your goals down changes everything. Add a deadline, and you’re 76% more likely to succeed. Share it with someone you trust, and your odds go up another 33%. These aren’t guesses. That’s data.

Start tracking the small stuff:

— Wake up 30 minutes earlier

— Drink 100 oz of water

— Read 10 pages

— Meditate for 5 minutes

Each checkmark builds momentum. And momentum builds belief.

Feeling overwhelmed? Break it down:

Goal: Build a morning routine

— Mini-goal 1: Wake up at 6:30am by May 15

— Mini-goal 2: Add journaling + movement by May 20

— Mini-goal 3: Lock in full routine by July 1

Now it’s not a wish—it’s a plan.

Use “if-then” thinking to stay on track:

• “If I feel too tired, then I’ll still show up for 5 minutes.” People who use this strategy are 3x more likely to follow through.

Try WOOP:

• Wish. Outcome. Obstacle. Plan.

• It turns resistance into action.

Give yourself 90 days.

Long enough to make a shift. Short enough to stay urgent.

What’s your 90-day goal?

Write it. Speak it. Move like it’s already yours.
