What comes to mind when you see the name Seinfeld? Probably a comedy series. At least that’s what most people think.

Perhaps we don’t write comedy every day. Maybe we don’t write at all. However, this doesn’t exempt us from daily opportunities and challenges.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle

This is a well-known concept used for about 2000 years. People have had personal projects then, before, and after recording them. You also have goals to achieve!

You also have goals to achieve! Maybe you have a goal to reach! You also have goals to achieve!

Maybe you have a goal to reach! It can be about writing a text or the steps for a personal project.

The fact that they have been useful makes me think not of a lack of imagination but of the utility of the approach.

Clearly defined goals provide direction and purpose that motivate us to take action.

Daily available energy is limited, so it shouldn’t be wasted. That’s what we gain from having direction and purpose. That’s why productivity is important.

“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.” — Lewis Carroll
