And yet, 25% of people keep setting the same goals, year after year, without ever achieving them. So what good are they? In 1979, there was a goal-setting study conducted among Harvard MBA students. Only 13% of them had made any specific goals for themselves, and only 3% of students had written those goals down. When a follow-up was conducted a decade later, it was found that the students with goals in mind were earning twice as much as their goal-less peers. Those who had written their goals down, however, were earning a whopping ten times more than the other 97% of their graduating class. So while writing down your desire to go to the gym or stop smoking may seem futile, it may in fact have amazing results.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/bubble-calendar?source=blog\">Bubble Calendar, $20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Year seems like a great time to start making change in your life.
