Goal setting.

People who set goals generally achieve more in various areas of life than people who do not set goals. For instance, goals help people succeed in the realms of education, fitness, and work. However, people who set goals are more likely to reach them if they articulate clear plans for how they will pursue their goals on a daily basis. Psychologists have found that intrinsic and learning goals promote enjoyment in studying, exercising, and working, such that people can find more happiness before and after they reach their goals. Furthermore, people and organizations can have multiple goals and types of goals at once.
