Enter the Game Changer ( could be title something like “Goal Setting Game changer for 2017?)

For Christmas, my parents bought me a Fitbit.  It’s the kind that pays attention to anything you want it to. Calories in, energy out.  Water intake. Floors climbed.  Hours slept. You can program it to track practically ANYTHING.

I realized quickly that this Fitbit addresses all of my goal failures with a direct solution.

1. It’s wicked specific – not vague at all. It gets down to details and tracks the things that are most important.
2. I can see the direct impact my actions have had on my life every day. And it holds me accountable to what I said I wanted.
3. It’s competitive – The goals I set challenge my own path, or the goals of others in my friends list.  Nothing worse than seeing friends hit their daily marks, knowing that if I don’t get moving, I’ll be ‘last.’
4. It’s helping me raise the bar.  The goals I have inspired me to set the bar higher for myself and others.  The more I do, the easier the goal setting gets.  The more I accomplish, the better I feel.
5. This “system” tracks everything and gives me a snapshot at any time of where I am.  Hours slept?  Bottles of Water consumed?  Flights of stairs?  Number of Steps?  I can see daily, weekly or monthly totals.  Real time info for real time progress updates.
