Synopsis "Goals Suck: Why the Obsession with Goal-Setting is a Flawed Approach to Productivity and Life in General (in English)"
Goals Suck! When you have sex, do you take a timer and a legal pad into the bedroom to log the number of hip thrusts and grunts? Do you compile all of your data at the end of the week and plot it into a graph? Do you have goals for the number of times you have sex per month, the number of partners you have, or keep close tabs on how many minutes you can last for? Of course you don't. The very thought of setting and tracking goals in the bedroom is a complete absurdity! Why is That? Why does that strike you as absurd? You don't need goals in order to be motivated to have sex do you? It's naturally enjoyable and requires no such outside motivation. More importantly, the thought of setting goals and tracking them would ruin the whole experience wouldn't it? But you set goals in all kinds of other areas. Why? The Problem with Goals Goals are something we use to incentivize ourselves to do things we wouldn't otherwise have the desire to do. There is something inherently wrong with this at its core. Goal-setting and tracking merely works to ensure that we spend more time doing things we aren't truly passionate about. And if setting goals in areas that we do enjoy can take away from the natural enjoyment of those activities, and ruin our spontaneity, might setting goals actually make the actions required to obtain them less enjoyable? The answer to that question is "yes." The Solution If you stop setting goals, and focus on doing what you love with vigor and enthusiasm just for the sake of doing it, you ensure that your enjoyment of those activities stays high. And if your enjoyment stays high, you keep doing it consistently for years, you don't procrastinate, and you can achieve remarkable levels of productivity-not to mention you are literally more efficient and intelligent when you are engaged in activities for pleasure's sake. Put another way, you will go much farther in life much faster if you simply focus on doing what you are truly inspired to do with great passion rather than trying to will yourself to do something you don't really like doing with the outside help of goals. And you don't need goals to do what you love! They become completely obsolete. They can even jeopardize your success. Goals Suck will help you understand the many flaws of the goal-setting approach to productivity and life in general, help you identify your true passions, give you the permission to follow them, and ultimately set you on the path to a life filled full of both great pleasure and achievement all wrapped into one. Available as eBook, paperback, and audiobook narrated by the author.
