If you know nobody in a new city, how will you go out to surround yourself with amazing people? Maybe go out to one social event a week, or always do social stuff at work: these are the methods to achieving that state.
Those things you listed are habits that presumably you can maintain, but the more interesting thing is how to create and change habits. That's the essence of self improvement.
I was wondering whether actually people set goals, remind themselves everyday etc, and go about to achieve the same. I think there is a lot of randomness in getting into a system and an outcome as a result of it.
Apart from one or two mental notes with a bigger picture, I am not sure whether the so called 'successful' people set those daily, weekly, monthly goals etc. I am genuinely curious to know if it worked for some.
I get inspired to goal set maybe once a year when I'm unhappy and I try to use the energy I have to establish a habit. The easiest way is singing up for a class, the better way is to have a bunch of friends who also have similar goals.
And no. I am no where near to being successful. But I am happy though, since I have partially succeeded in Point 3 & point 4
Goal setting never worked for me. [Edit] But If I were to set some, it would be something like (Thinking.....) 1. Eat, Sleep and Exercise well 2. Surround yourself with amazing people (both professionally and personally) 3. Find something you truly love doing, and something that has value in the market 4. Work your butt off 5. Take time off & Forget the rest Let me check , if writing it down helps
