It’s the first episode of the new year and Carter and Mo have been thinking about goal setting. Is it always necessary to set precise, concrete goals? Are there benefits in just focussing on the process? Carter and Mo have learnt a lot from setting and achieving (or not achieving) goals over the years. In this episode they discuss focussing on the process, being consistent with small behaviours and setting imprecise goals.
