Goal Setting: 52 Secrets for Setting and Achieving Goals with Clarity with Debra Eckerling

One thing I've learned from years of talking about productivity is that focus doesn't happen automatically, but sometimes it begins with a cue. Sometimes it's something that you use to tell your brain, okay, we're working now. Brain FM is that for me. Brain FM is functional music designed for specific states like focus, relaxation, meditation, and sleep, and more. And for work, I like to think of it as a simple focus ritual. I pick the mode, I press play, and then I use that at the start of a work block. You can do it too. Treat it like an experiment.

I'm your host, Eric Fisher, and I'm excited to share with you this conversation I had with Deborah Eckerling on her book, 52 Secrets for Goal Setting and Goal Getting, How to Stay Focused.

Grow your network and get more done in less time. Deb's been talking about goals for years. I actually used to work with her in a past position I had, and she's been doing what was originally a goals Twitter chat, which now has transformed into a goals podcast. And in this conversation, we're talking all about some but definitely not nearly all of what's in the book. We talk about visualization and the power that that has towards setting and meeting goals, the power of resilience, breaking goals down into achievable steps, and the power of clarity. Sometimes It takes a little bit different vision, like dialing the scope on whatever it is you're looking through just to see things a little bit better, changing your perspective up a little bit more so that you can change. Not necessarily the goal. But the methodology or the path towards

reaching that destination. We all have goals that we've set. Yeah. Maybe. you've lost sight of some of those goals you used to have and need a recalibration, in which case this conversation with Deb is perfect. For you.
