My ADHD has crippled me year after year. I suffer from severe time blindness, I always feel that I fast forward and never realize how much time I have lost and not achieving my goals.

Good points.
I'd like to add, most important things in goal setting is their relevancy. Most people set goals that aren't exactly their own. If you set to learn a language, you'd better know why. Most people just want to speak... French, let's say. But learning a language isn't such a simple endeavour, is it? So, we'll never get to do it just because of lack of motivation. To be motivated that far, the goal needs to be much greater than just a wish.

It amazes me how many people think this way about setting goals. It must work somehow. However, I have never in my life achieved goals in this manner. For me, it is insane. Instead, I believe there is a plan for my life that is predestined. I look for the plan, and then, I set out to accomplish it. When it is not working, I realize I am off plan somehow and I revise my actions to get back on the plan. It works so well, and I accomplish so much that way. But Dr. Izzy is a very interesting person.

Izzy, you spoke about setting goals and the methods to be used, to attain our goals...i believe, first we have to set our goal sensibly, rationally, wisely. Then we have create a sensible action plan or strategy. Then we got to execute our action plan to attain our goals...since every human being are different in their own way, everybody can use their own ways to accomplish their goals.... accomplishing your important goals, will give you thrills, adrenaline rush and proud feeling... Having goals in life are very important...

This is great! I am studying for the LSAT currently and was really struggling to be consistent. I realize my goal is too vague, and I think I can now be more consistent!

Izzy, I feel so nice whenever I watch your vlogs. Congratulations for becoming Doctor as well. What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it's not. And a lot of the time, it's what makes you great. In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

You are incredible Izzy. If I can’t achieve my goals, I seek help - seek mentors (people who have done it already)!

[Romanophonie]

This is just the video I needed to see right now. I really appreciated your sincerity/genuineness when sharing your struggles with learning Chinese next year. It reminded me that I am not alone in struggling to achieve my goals. I also really liked the clear format of the video and the practical and insightful points you made. Thank you and keep up the great work!

1. Be very specific + achievable with your goal. Break it down into steps. Brian Tracey has a book “Goals” that details this.

2. Track your progress over time with when you want to accomplish each step.

3. If you don’t reach your goals, e.g you fall short of it a little bit, don’t give up. Try and make the most of what you have done or what you can do.

4. Visualisation of yourself achieving your goal in the future can be a powerful tool to actually getting there.

5. Writing your goals down can help a lot.

6. Someone who keeps you in check with your goal (or an accountability buddy) gives you a support system that can keep you going.

7. Clear your cognitive and even physical space to avoid distraction away from your goal.

Thank you Izzy for those great ideas, so helpful, as ever. Take care.

[RafaAmes]

Love how you break down your ideas and the manner in which you present. Would also love to see you make a video on lessons you've learned from mentors/authors/books/etc and how you've incorporate that into your life, may it by practice or thought.

Thank you for having the kindness to share. Wonderful!

Only came across your channel today, it was great. I have been setting goals for the past 2 years and used very similar techniques especially writing it down. I wrote down the daily tasks/goals after I done it on the daily basis (yoga, reading, skateboarding, play paino, play drumkit, walking my dogs, each task one hour a day, one after another). Itt really worked! I was able to pretty achieved 80% for a whole year

[shivchamps]

I mentioned in one of my videos attachment through methodology which means the way you do it! Keeps you going ! Matters a lot ! All the points are so useful thank you Izzy

[Kevin_Guo]

Great to see you back Izzy with another insightful video!

[couchpotato]

tips: break down into small goals that build up to a realistic, clear end goal. don't give up if u slip- try and do a bit more every bit counts

[joefg]

Thank you for motivating us Dr.Izzy, we sometimes forget to take little steps and just want immediate instant success in our endeavours.We push ourselves too much sometimes and get frustrated when we don', t get the results that we want.Thank you for reminding us that a journey begins with a single step.Have a nice day Dr.

[SP-rijo]

Thankuuuu! I started writing again in my journal, I tried to write down all the tips from memory & set some concrete goals. Can't wait to try all these techniques & hopefully start getting on top of things <3
