Goals That Fit Your Life
Turn a broad hope into a small, observable next step.
What to know
Outcome goals describe where you want to go; process goals describe what you can do next.
A useful goal accounts for time, money, access, symptoms, and competing responsibilities.
Early success should build confidence rather than prove toughness.
