Less Goals, More Experiments

Whether it be writing, recruiting for a job, or getting ripped, I’ve proved to myself that I can repeatedly set goals and accomplish them. Each time I achieve a challenging goal, it boosts my confidence and reinforces my belief that I can accomplish any goal I set for myself.

This year, my focus has been on my creative goals, but I’ve tended to overthink and lack execution. What’s difficult about setting goals for my creative life is that there’s a multitude of paths I can take. There’s no right answer. Instead of focusing on goals, I’m shifting my mindset to an experimental approach. This means less overthinking, less goal-setting, and more trying out different ideas to see what works best.
