Magnitude Tuning™ – Part Three

How I bootstrapped my annual goal setting practice

Today I want to dive into a second raw example of magnitude tuning™️. In the previous post, I showed you how I optimized my weekly reviews. Today I will guide you through how my goal-setting practice has evolved over the years.

Goal setting is often a less structured process than reviewing a week. We often can’t or won’t work from checklists, making it somewhat harder to compare our goal-setting practices across time. 

That is why comparing the output of goal-setting—the actual goals we set—may be a better basis. We can evaluate how the content and structure evolved over time.

Luckily I kept a log of all the yearly goals I set for myself for the last ten years.

Keeping such a log is a great way to contemplate your progress, and it is the only reason I am able to write this article. It’s also a great example of when a someday-maybe empire pays off.

So, let’s dive into my personal goal-setting odyssey.
