How to Achieve Big Goals With MiniQuests
27Imagine a world where you can get good at anything and achieve great things. Is that world real or fictional? Here's something that all high-level achievers in life do - and it's also something that many people, as soon as they hear about it, dismiss as being "too simple" to be true. The truth is, achieving your goals and getting good at something isn't one big task - it's a series of small tasks that eventually add up to your end goal.
Hey I'm Matt Sherman and welcome to Geek Psychology, where we use the concepts and lessons from geek and gaming culture to help us play life better.
The first thing you need to do is come up with your mini-quests. Creating your own challenges is like creating your own personal game. It's not a hard task as long as you can come up with good ideas and are able to make them fun, realistic and engaging.
To create a challenge that works for you, look at your goals and think about how you could turn them into small tasks. Brainstorming all the things that you could do in order to master something new will help you think of creative ideas and also teach you more about that area of expertise.
For example, if I want to start playing guitar, I would think of all the things I can do:
- learn chords
- practice strumming patterns
- learn scales
- listen to music by different artists in different genres
I would then progress on these areas by making my own mini-challenges each day or week. Some might be best learned together - like chords and scales - others can be spread out a bit more.
For example: learn 5 new chords this week; practice strumming patterns every day; listen to 2 songs in genres X and Y every day; learn 2 new scales every week.
The point is that you have something meaningful, specific, and achievable to strive towards on any given time period (1 hour, 1 week, whatever you've decided on), and you just keep chipping away at it so that eventually you can look at the chain of all your quests and see how much progress you've made.
To life-long questing
