Goal Stumbling?

Goal setting is simple. Completing the goal can be challenging.
For me, I used to make things harder than they needed to be.
That means, I waited until the end, then I'd rush in and complete the goal at the very last minute. 

An easier way to complete the goal, would  be to set short term milestones or benchmarks. Go after the benchmark, hit the benchmark and then go on to the next benchmark.

Pretty soon, your goal is in the bag.
