Achieving goals can be hard sometimes. Or is that often? Mad Writers discuss goals in this introductory episode. How do you create goals that help you achieve them? What can you do to help yourself achieve your goals? Listen to the episode to find out.

Notable Notes:

• SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time bound goals) help you create goals that help you achieve them.
• WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan). From the book Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation by Gabriele Oettingen, WOOP is a process to help you achieve goals.
• Cue, routine, reward. From the book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg. Cue, routine, reward is all about hacking your habits for your success.
