There are many things that we all want to achieve in life, but having the intention to achieve something still results a lot of times in nothing. Searching on the internet for some self-help advice, one of many recommendations is to write down your goals. I got inspired by an assumed study on the Yale graduation class of 1953:

Only 12 out of 400 students wrote down their goals and after 20 years these 3% were more successful than the rest combined.

Could such a small act really make such a difference? Searching for more details, you might find that this study was also attibuted to a Harvard graduation class or done by the Ford Foundation and since I could not find the source anywhere, I also believe it is an urban legend. But nonetheless writing down your goals and structuring them can help to achieve them. Afterall, it is just like a long-term todo-list. And since I want to do something about my procrastination, I am publishing it in public.

You can help me to fine-tune my steps to achieve my goals, offer advice and help or even join me and share the same goal. Taking this thought one step further, you can also set new goals for me. Sometimes an external mind can see my situation a whole lot differently.

I really do encourage you to take a look, to comment and to contribute to this.
