Steps to creating goals that work

We often overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in three years. I have often encountered this phrase when reading up on goal-setting and I can attest that I have seen the truth of this.

When reviewing my goals, I tend to notice that when I create a new goal, the progress at the beginning is often very slow, then I gather momentum towards the following year or so. This is especially relevant where the goal requires me to form a new habit, such as leading an active lifestyle or planning my days well.
