Personal Goals Have to Happen Now

This is a summary about de Raptitude blog "Personal Goals Have to Happen Now".



Personal goals are often postponed:

•People tend to believe they will pursue personal dreams (e.g., writing a book, launching a YouTube channel) later when life slows down.

Time is always fully used:

•You’re always using your 24 hours for something, so you’ll never naturally have large chunks of time to pursue personal goals.

Myth of "when I have time":

•Waiting for the ideal moment leads to inaction. Big goals don’t need big chunks of time; they can be tackled in smaller, focused efforts.

Block Method:

•Work in short, structured sessions called “Blocks” (25 minutes each), which can fit into daily life. These small blocks of time can accumulate and lead to significant progress.
•Example: Writing a screenplay can start with just a few 25-minute sessions each week, rather than waiting for uninterrupted hours.

Achieving major goals with small efforts:

•Over time, using multiple Blocks can help achieve big goals, like starting a side hustle, organizing your home, or learning to code.
•Example: In just 60 Blocks (25 minutes each), you could write several chapters of a book or launch your freelance business.

Course: One Big Win:

•An 8-week course that uses the Block Method to help participants achieve a personal win while managing their daily life.
•Example: Completing a thesis or creating a blog in eight weeks by working in consistent, manageable Blocks.

Repeatable process:

•Once you achieve one personal goal, you can use the same method to achieve future goals in a structured, repeatable way.
