What kind of goal setter are you?

When it comes to your goals, having a well-orchestrated plan is essential. Luckily for you, you’re the conductor. You are likely a quick visual learner, enjoy checking off massive lists (there’s nothing more satisfying), and use your epic organizational skills to get every job done.

From a goal-setting perspective, it all starts with thinking of the big picture, and then breaking that down into small, manageable micro-goals. For example, if you’re planning to run your first 5k, write down daily or weekly run goals: Beat last Monday’s run time, run for 20 minutes straight by the third week. That kind of thing. Of course, it’s possible you’ve already thought of all this before. You’re just that organized.

Loyalty, accountability, friendship. These are important words for you when it comes to life and, in particular, goal-setting. Studies have shown that even the act of confiding in a friend about a goal will increase your chances of fulfilling it. A lot of this boils down to accountability and, best of all, works both ways. We wouldn’t be surprised if people regularly confide in you about their own goals. You’re a positive and trustworthy motivator and we have no doubt you and your friends can achieve great things!

Peer-to-peer motivation and friendly rivalry play a big part in your day to day. Whether it’s a group project at work, a team-building exercise, or, you guessed it, a group goal, community is a driving force behind your success. And we bet you are a petty successful person. That’s probably because you perform well as part of a team, both collaboratively and competitively.

Studies on social facilitation show us that simply surrounding ourselves with those who share our goals make us more likely to achieve them. Over 70% of runners at Racefully said that running with a friend helped them run faster and for longer.

Your goal-setting tip: Whether your goal is collaborative or competitive, set aside some time to chat about it with your group and cheer each other on. All of that positive energy is what it’s all about!

We bet you’ve earned yourself some accolades over the years. Trophies, medals, titles - you name it. You’re a natural when it comes to setting (and achieving) goals because you fill them with outcome-based rewards every step of the way.

As they say, it’s about the journey, not the destination, and you know that journey comes with its own successes and failures along the way.

From a goal-setting perspective, it all starts with thinking of the big picture, and then breaking that down into small, manageable micro-goals. For example, if you’re planning to run your first 5k, write down daily or weekly run goals: Beat last Monday’s run time, run for 20 minutes straight by the third week.

Your goal setting tip: Add pre-chosen rewards to your micro-goals, adding that extra dose of excitement throughout your longterm plan. On the flip side, learn how to accept and embrace the occasional failures, too. It's all about the journey.
