Sometimes you don't see the progress you are making because you are constantly raising the bar. Focusing on small, incremental goals can have incredible benefits to your learning and career. It can have the side effect of being hard to see just how far you have come. Make a habit of noting down the small wins on a regular basis and celebrating yourself for the good times. A lot of us give ourselves a hard time if something doesn't go right. So when it does, no matter how small, make a note and celebrate that.

I occasionally look back to the fresh-faced me who had just left university and compare him to where I am now. It puts things into perspective quite nicely. Good times and hard times = experience, and none of us would be where and who are are without them :)

I'm always thinking 'right I've cracked that, what's the next goal'. It can be both a blessing and a curse at the same time.

there is always more and better we can go for so not celebrating the small wins means just running with no fun 😬 😁

It's true! We are our biggest clappers or most considerable criticism in life! Ryan Murphy

Over the past two years, I've consistently employed the 12-week year strategy, particularly benefiting from its application in the area you highlighted. Essentially, it involves setting a key objective by the 12th week and structuring your weeks and days accordingly. This method significantly enhances focus when needed.
