Baking cookies can teach you how to reach those goals

I’m always on the lookout for abstract analogies now that I’ve made a commitment to dedicating most of my time to art-related endeavors.

This morning – being the priority-orientated person I am – I decided to stay up all night and bake cookies at 4:30Am. Mmm. Great idea mate.

Then I realized that the ‘formula’ for success is universal, even in the things as trivial as cookie baking.

How does that work? How did I do it? Keep reading.

Creating my own flow of inspiration – for life’s emergencies

I like to write down my goals, it’s a good practice. I’ve tried and thrown out a few ways to do this – in an ongoing attempt to keep that all important representation of my ambitions inspirational. Theres nothing quite as derogatory and banal as a having your set of goals mimic a grocery-list.

The following is my newest – I did three things:

1. Divide it into sections – for organization and focus

2. Put some words of people I can trust at the top – for days when I can’t trust myself

3. Ask questions – so each time I review my goals, I can also rethink them and refine them.

This took me about 3-4 hours to put together. The time is worth it’s weight in gold.

Feel free to take something from this, but remember it’s important for you to go out and formulate something that inspires you specifically.
