Day 247 - Goals must be paired with constraints https://golifelog.com/posts/goals-must-be-paired-with-constraints-1630722615506
Never set goals without cost constraints:
I want to start a business… without spending more than $10K
I want to make $100K… without working more than 2hrs/day
I want to get promoted… without sacrificing my family
… and so on.
Else you become a slave of your goals.

So, applying constraints to my $5k MRR goal:
• I want $5k MRR by end of 2021, without working more than 4h per day.
• I want $5k MRR, without sacrificing my daily family time in the evenings.
• I want $5k MRR, without having to trade-off my daily exercise, and lose fitness/health.
• I want a profitable business, without burning out.
• I want multiple income streams via a portfolio of small bets, without feeling pulled in too many directions.
• I want to enjoy working hard, without forgetting to have fun.
So what constraints would you add to your goals?
