Episode 05: How to set realistic goals (and avoid burning out)

Listen Later

In this episode of Creative Mindset, we're diving into the art of setting realistic (writing) goals.

If you're someone who keeps setting huge grandiose goals but rarely finishes them, this one's for you.

Together, we'll explore:

  • how you might be setting yourself up to fail when setting goals;
  • the emotional weight we attach to goals;
  • how doing less is sometimes the braver and better (and more productive) choice;
  • what it even means for a goal to be "realistic",
  • and how to approach setting goals with fun and joy.
