In ten minutes, you could maybe crank out 200 words, give or take, depending on how tired you are. If you set it too high and are unable to consistently reach it, you’re more likely to skip writing on days when you doubt your ability to reach that target.įor example, you might think that it makes more sense to set a goal of at least 1,000 words a day, but then you hit a low point, you feel overwhelmed, and you barely have ten minutes to give to writing before you have to run out the door again or before you collapse into bed.
If you set it low, you can always write more, if you’re able to. To build a daily writing habit, consistency is more important than quantity. The point here is to know how much you can commit to writing each day. How much time can you spend writing each day while still honoring prior commitments? How much can you write in this amount of time? When you’re serious about writing, you make time for it every day. 9 Proven Ways to Achieve Your Writing Goals 1. goal is something you can focus on and celebrate when you reach it but that also gets you closer to “the big one.”Ī time-bound goal has not only a deadline but a reasonable time-frame that honors your other commitments. It’s this “magnum opus” that describes where you want to be years from now (a few, ten, twenty, etc.). Relevant basically means your new goal is related to your overarching goal and will contribute to the larger tapestry of your life’s work. It doesn’t make sense to overcommit to one goal if it means sacrificing another, more important goal. That said, the word achievable takes into account your real-life situation and other time commitments. While it’s close to that, it’s closer to the word “possible,” which - depending on your mindset - could describe something that sounds totally doable to you but overly ambitious to someone else.Īchievable is in the eye of the (individual) beholder, whereas realistic has more to do with society’s ideas of what constitutes a reasonable goal for the least productive common denominator. The word “ achievable” here isn’t synonymous with “realistic.”
