Ten reasons why I don't need to write down my goals  

1.  I already know my goals. 

Then you are ready for the next step.

2.  Goals are too complicated.  There are too many.

Sort the goals by size. 
Sort the goals by how much you want them.
Sort the goals by the work they will take.
Sort the goals by the time they will take.
Sort the goals by how much other people want you to seek them.

3.  One of my goals might take more effort than I want to put out.

Goals are work

4.  Choosing is hard.  I want different things and they don’t fit together. 

Not choosing will make them fit together better?   Fitting Goals

5.  My goals are too far off.  I can't really focus on them. 

You can wait till the goals get closer.  But what will you do while waiting?

6.  I might not be able to do it.  If I don't make it, I'll look like a failure.

And if you don’t try, you will look like a success?  I might fail.

7.  My goal must be to figure out what my goals are.

8.  Nobody asked me to write down my goals. 

And you only do things when people ask.

9..  This goals project is just a clever trick to show differences in head channels

Yes it is.
No it’s not.

10.    Your reason. You are the navigator.  Whether you choose or not.
