The Importance of Goals (Part 2): The Yellow Post-It

Hey y’all! This is part 2 of my series on GOALS. Last week we talked about the importance of setting goals. If you missed last week and want to catch up, just scroll down to the next post! I hope you took the challenge and you had some success with it! If not, it’s never too late to start!

So after you have set your goals and created a plan to reach them, what’s next? For me, it is posting reminders so that my goal is constantly on my mind. I learned this through a loved one’s experience.

He would hate me telling you this, but he used to have some road rage. Who doesn’t right? He wouldn’t cuss at them or give them any gestures, but he would get upset. This was something he wanted to work on. His goal: Stay calm and relaxed while driving. For his reminder, he used this tiny yellow post-it. The post-it didn’t have anything written on it, but he knew what it was for. He posted the note on his rear-view mirror so it was constantly in view while driving. He has slowly gotten better and realized cursing that person’s family, dog and ancestors isn’t necessary if they cut him off. To this day, the exact same note is posted on his rear-view mirror (it’s a faded white now).



Having constant reminders of your goals is extremely important. If you don’t remember your goals how do you expect to achieve them? These reminders do not have to be huge or even have anything to do with your goal. YOU choose YOUR reminder. Post it everywhere! Around your house, on the bathroom mirror, in your car, on your desk. Whatever works best for you!

If you took last week’s challenge than you have a goal in mind. Congrats, step one is complete! Now post your reminders everywhere! Constant reminders lead to constant application. You got this!

CHALLENGE: Post reminders of your goal everywhere!
