All good intentions aside, exhaustive studies have shown only 3% of the population engage in some form of goal-setting and only 1% on average, write them down.
It should be noted that there is no small coincidence in the 1% that write goals down and the highest achieving, highest income-earning men and women around the world.
If it's that simple though, why is it then, are most people so unsuccessful in the fundamentals of Real goal-setting?
One legitimate answer may be our generation is busier than any generation in the past. Life today is not static and our preoccupation with just trying to 'get by' runs juxtaposed to the activities needed for maintaining concentrated goal achievement. Fair enough.

That is, however, if we don't forget them!
The good news is, the simple act of reviewing our goals and activities on a daily basis, serves, in and of itself, to ensure we don't forget them - thereby keeping them fresh, clear, specific and at the front of our mind.
As mentioned and psychological studies show, unforgotten goals quite naturally engender Unique Psychological Success Orientations that by
