Pin the goal where you cannot un-see it.
The problem it solves
Out of sight is out of mind is not a cliché; it is how attention works. Goals in a drawer or a file are goals you have already half-abandoned.
What it is
A framed cork board for the wall, two by three feet or larger, with push pins. Holds the goal sheet, the plan, the photograph, the chart.
Who it is for
Visual thinkers, goal-setters, and anyone who wants the plan visible to the whole household.
How to use it so it sticks
Pin one page: the goal, the deadline and the next three steps. Replace the steps as you complete them. Keep everything else off the board.
Who should skip it
If walls are off-limits or the board will become a collage of coupons, skip it.
Verdict
Ancient technology, still unbeaten for keeping a goal in front of your face.
