Let me tell you something that has helped me tremendously. Process goals > outcome goals

Focusing on process goals, as opposed to outcome goals, actually helps build discipline for a few reasons. Process goals are all about the steps you take to reach an outcome, like committing to a daily exercise routine rather than just aiming to lose weight.

Firstly, they keep you grounded in the present. By concentrating on the daily or weekly actions, you’re constantly engaged in the habit of doing, which naturally strengthens your discipline. It’s less about waiting for a future result and more about what you can do right now.

The next reason process goals are better is because process goals are usually within your control. You can’t always control the outcome, but you can control your actions. This makes it easier to stay consistent and less discouraged by factors outside your control.

Lastly focusing on the process encourages continuous improvement and learning. Instead of being fixated on a single result, you’re adapting and refining your methods, which is a core aspect of discipline. Over time, this focus on the process leads to better overall performance and the achievement of long-term objectives.
