Using Goals to Increase Production

Sapphire and the Atlantians
Having Goals Makes Us More Productive
Most who have followed me for years, know how much I love to present workshops.  However, those who know me very well, know that I love writing even more.  So, when I was wasting time doing puzzles during the pandemic sheltering-in-place, I decided this next year I will return to what I love.  Here it is, my New Year's goal.  
My New Year’s goal is to devote at least three hours each day to writing. Within the first few days of the new year, I've rewritten 40 articles and two chapters of a new children’s mystery book.  
By the end of the year, my goal is to spend at least five hours each day writing. To stay on track, I'll critique my schedule on the first day of each month. 
What is your short and long-term goal this year?
