Habits and Goals: The Crucial Relationship

"Habits and goals, by design, complement each other."

 

Oh, the irony. When The Habit Factor® was published in 2010, the idea of using habits to achieve goals as a process for goal achievement was unheard of.

The Habit Factor's subtitle demonstrates its originality at the time: An Innovative Method to Align Habits with Goals to Achieve Success.

Due to its predominantly negative connotation, all of the prior goal achievement best practices excluded habit entirely.

Processes like S.M.A.R.T. goals did not mention habits. Even scientific research papers that studied the relationship between habits and goals missed this important concept: The cultivation of habits, when aligned to a goal, will help you to achieve your goal more quickly.

Fast forward to today, and it's almost like the exercise where 10 people line up to pass along a message. As the message moves from one person to the next, it becomes bastardized.

 

The same can be said for The Habit Factor's original message. Somewhere along the way, habits have somehow become "better" than goals. This is erroneous and dichotomous; they complement each other.

 

In this episode, MG reviews a few distinct qualities about each and how they work together.
