Summary of Hard Goals (Mark Murphy)
H: Heartfelt
If you don’t really care about your goals, there’s not going to be much motivation for you to achieve them. To achieve more, make certain you’re going after what you want more than anything else. HARD goals are not just nice-to-have if they’re not too much trouble. A HARD goal has to be something which promises you more value than any other goal imaginable and therefore you’re not going to let anything get in the way of making it happen.
Why do you care about this goal?
Answering this question is Job #1 when it comes to achieving more. Your goal won’t be at all helpful if it exists only because your answer to this question is:
My boss feels this is important to achieve.I’m setting this goal because I have to.My doctor / spouse / chairman said this is worthwhile.When it comes to setting a goal which has the power to propel you forward, none of these answers will do. You’ve got to set a goal you feel a heartfelt connection to. In practice, there are only three ways to build this kind of connection:
Intrinsic motivation – you’re much more motivated to achieve if you’re doing something you really love doing. If the goal involves something you’d normally do in your free time when nobody’s pressuring you or rewarding you some other way, then you have genuine intrinsic motivation – which is great. Giving a true 100 percent effort is easier if you’re passionate about what you’re doing. This is a matter of figuring out your own personal “Shoves” and “Tugs.”Everyone has Shoves and Tugs. Shoves are issues which demotivate you and drain your energy. Tugs motivate you and make you feel fulfilled and wanting to give 100 percent. Shoves and Tugs are not the opposite sides of the same coin but to increase your intrinsic motivation, you’ve got to inject more Tugs into your goals and decrease or mitigate the number of Shoves you feel as well. Once you have a clearer picture of what acts as a Shove or a Tug for you individually, you can then look for more Tugs to inject into your daily routine. Some questions to ponder:
Describe a time recently when you’ve felt like giving up on what you’re attempting. What was the Shove which made you feel burned out at that time?Describe a time when you’ve felt on top of the world and exceptionally motivated. What was the Tug behind that?Personal motivation
