Is Your Goal Just Sitting in a Notebook?

Is Your Goal Just Sitting in a Notebook? Let’s Make It Happen

Have you ever written down a goal, shoved it in a notebook, and thought, "Right, I’ll come back to this later"? We’ve all done it.

You’ve got a clear idea of what you want to achieve—whether it's smashing it in your business, hitting a personal milestone, or just making some positive changes. You’ve already put in the work to figure out what you want and why you want it. But then… life happens.

You close that notebook, tuck it away somewhere, and before you know it, months have passed. You look back and wonder, “Why didn’t I get this done?” Here’s the thing: you didn’t remind yourself daily of your goal. Without that constant nudge, your goal sits forgotten in the pages of your notebook, and it’s easy to lose focus.

So, how do you stop that from happening? Let’s talk about keeping your goal front and centre.

Why You Need to Keep Your Goal Visible

Achieving any goal is all about consistent action. If you’re not looking at your goal regularly, how are you supposed to take the little daily steps needed to reach it?

Think about it—if you want to grow your business, it’s the small actions that add up over time. If you don’t see your goal, you won’t prioritise those daily actions. The same goes for personal goals like getting fitter or learning something new.

It’s simple: If you’re not focused on your goal, you’re not moving towards it. That’s why you need to keep it in front of you every day.

A Simple Trick to Keep You on Track

Here’s the deal: Keep your goal visible.

Pop it somewhere you’ll see it every day—whether that’s a note on your phone, a sticky note on your computer, or even on the fridge. The more you see your goal, the more you’ll be reminded of what you’re working towards, and that will keep you focused.

You don’t need a 100-step action plan right now. Just the habit of seeing your goal will be enough to spark the actions you need to take.

A Little Tip for Perimenopausal Women

If you’re navigating perimenopause, this practice is especially helpful. We’ve all experienced those days when hormones or emotions throw us off course. Keeping your goal front and centre is a quick way to stay grounded and focused, even when things feel chaotic. It’s like having a little anchor to keep you steady.

Take Action Every Day

You’ve already done the hard part by figuring out what you want. Now, take that next step: put your goal somewhere you can see it daily. Then, every morning (or night), think about one tiny action you can take today to move closer to it.

Remember, your goal doesn’t live in a closed notebook. It’s about the daily actions that take you closer to where you want to be.

So, what are you waiting for? Take that first step today.

Awareness creates opportunities.
