Day 015 — What do you want your life to look like in 90 days?

I stumbled upon this gem of a question last night, and it really made me think.

Why 90 days strikes a chord

“Wow, 90 days is the perfect length of time for me to finish something amazing, whilst still having a sense of urgency.” I thought. “90 day timeframes might really help me to make things happen.” and get it done.

One thing I struggle with is having a sense of urgency. An urgency to get things done as quickly as possible, so I can make the most of my time. My life is very comfortable, so I often find myself not moving as fast as I could do. So the 90 day time frame felt like a nice fit for me. I could easily imagine the version of myself that I would like to be. And this version really motivated me.

Another reason why I loved the idea, is that often our goals can be so big and daunting, that we become overwhelmed. “How am I going to achieve that?” you might think to yourself. This is a common thing I heard in my feedback calls with people. Some people were scared to set goals in the fear of letting themself down. However, smaller goals like this method, make the goal less daunting.

My 90 day goal

Immediately I knew what my 90 day goal would be — To submit my app to the app store and be profitable.

A big goal, however very obvious. It’s a goal that I can clearly visualise and feel motivated to achieve. I can see myself doing it, and it feels awesome. Time to break it down even further.
