Writing down your goals makes it 42% more likely to achieve them.

I recently read somewhere that successful people write down their goals. It boosts your motivation and focus while reducing stress levels at the same time.

I have been writing to-do lists on paper for quite a while and it helps me keep a better overview of my short-term tasks. Every point you can cross off results in a small sense of accomplishment.

But I have never tried writing down long term goals and there’s really no reason not to do it. So here are some of my goals for 2021 regarding my online presence and freelancing career:

1. Game Development

For the past few months, my indie game project fell a bit by the wayside. External distractions, my recent passion for writing, and other projects took a lot of time away from game development.

This year, I want to finish the game and publish it.

It’s actually in a decent state, but the final push is going to be very difficult and time-consuming. Right now I am at a point where I need to add a lot of content to the game…
