S.M.A.R.T. Goals – Achievable vs Attainable March 28, 2024 9:10 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeS.M.A.R.T. goals are often interchangeably written with the A as either achievable or attainable.
Attainable is wrong.
Achievable refers to something that is capable of being accomplished, while attainable refers to something that can be reached or obtained. In other words, achievable is about possibility, while attainable is about accessibility.

When defining goals, you are looking to remove ambiguity. Therefore the A needs to be achievable because we are interested in assessing whether or not the goal is possible. If it is not possible, then we have not written a clear goal.
S.M.A.R.T. goals are a way of setting oblectives that are clear, trackable, and achievable. S – specific; M – measurable; A – achievable; R – relevant; T – time-bound

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeI found a blank journal I gave my daughter years ago. She decided not to use it and put it in our bucket of stuff to repurpose to others. In this case, I needed a blank journal so I repurposed it to me. It gave me a smile. A certain number of pages into the book, I’d written a note to my daughter. She never saw it but it made me smile twice. Once when I wrote it and again when I rediscovered it.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeLearn something every day. It will keep you sharp. I’m lucky that my career field is constant learning. However, I supplement it with other things such as language learning. A few minutes study every day won’t make me conversational but it creates a habit which strengthens my willpower for developing other habits…such as daily exercise. For instance, I now feel guilty if I don’t do pushups first thing in the morning.
add a commentExercise is habit forming March 21, 2024 7:46 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeAs I slowed transitioned from sleep to wakefulness, my mind played through the various exercises I plan to do today including pushups, pull ups, jumping rope, rowing machine, and balance in conjunction with juggling. It felt good. Began the day with 15 pushups. I’ve consistently begun the day with pushups for about 2 weeks and now it is time to add more.
Instead of trying to accomplish everything at once, I’ve chunked my goals into very small tasks and am having greater success. I’m eating this herd of elephants one bite at a time.
add a commentSo much closer to being the early bird March 20, 2024 8:53 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeEons ago I loved awaking early. I’d exercise. Sit on the porch and listen to the birds. And be really productive. I’m trying for that again. Yesterday I awoke at 4:30. Didn’t stay up but came close. Today it was 5am. Same deal. But I’m on the right path to be an early riser again.
add a commentA most exceptional day! March 19, 2024 10:13 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeMy day began earlier than normal and included exercise at the beginning and end of the day. I had a productive work day and in the evening made good progress on my side work. I even went shopping with the wife instead of declaring I was too busy. I began seeds for my garden and came to bed earlier than normal.
I am quite pleased with this day.
