Just about everybody knows about the song from the Mikado…“I’ve got a little list, and they’ll none of them be missed.” Santa’s famous list of boys and girls is always checked twice, and everyone working on self fulfillment has heard of the Harvard MBA group who were asked to write down their goals. Only 3% of them did, and when a follow up of the class was done years later, the income of those 3% was as great as the collective income of the other 97%. There are now hundreds of books and motivational sources that insist that the way to success is to write down your goals. Great fortunes have been made in every media by telling other people to write down their goals, and how to do it for optimum psychological effect.
