Another episode for Grounded in Simplicity!

This time we discussed about Goal Setting for Homesteader.

Goal setting help you start your homestead and keep it going without being overwhelmed, regardless of where you live. Because if you just have an open ended goal, then you're going to find a lot of time passed without you actually accomplishing anything. And that's also when you're going to see yourself take on a lot of things that are not relevant. And you end up kind of all over the place.

It is important to FIND YOUR WHY. The reason why you need to have a why is it helps you have purpose. You'll never always motivated. There are some points in your life that you feel exhausted by the things you're doing in your life. Having a 'why' helps you focus more and keeps your drive.

You should also always START SMALL. Because we want to make sure that we're starting small, and not trying to take on too much, especially the first year of homesteading. Keep everything small and manageable instead of jumping in with both feet and trying to do all the things. Starting small will not get you overwhelmed. And that's what we are trying to avoid.

We also talked about the SMART acronym which stands for SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT and TIME BOUND. Listen to the full podcast episode to know more about this acronym and why it is helpful in goal setting.
