How to Set (Truly) Effective Writing Goals


Listen Later

Sitting down to write isn’t always easy. When creative work proves difficult, many writers turn to goal-setting to motivate themselves to action, only to experience shame and frustration as they fail to fulfill their goals. Sound familiar? You aren’t alone.

Goal-setting often proves an ineffective productivity hack for one simple reason: a goal is an aim; not an action plan. 

In today's episode, I share how you can set truly effective macro- and micro-goals that will help you find creative focus, avoid writing burnout, and making consistent progress toward building the writing life you long to lead.
