Don't Spin Your Wheels Without a Purpose

 


Don't spin your wheels without a purpose.
Always have a specific direction in mind.

Here are 12 writing and journaling prompts about having a purpose when you spin your wheels to do something or to achieve a goal:

What is something you've been wanting to do but haven't been able to start? Why do you think that is?
What is your ultimate goal in pursuing this activity? How will it benefit you?
What are some small steps you can take to get started? How can you break down the task into manageable pieces?
What potential roadblocks you might encounter along the way? How can you overcome them?
What are some resources you can use to help you achieve your goals? Who can you turn to for support, advice or encouragement?
How will you measure your progress? What milestones can you set for yourself and how are you planning to reach them?
What are some potential distractions that might get in the way of your progress? How can you minimize them or even eliminate them?
How will you hold yourself accountable for making progress? What consequences will you face if you don't follow through? Is it crucial for you to attain your goals at this time or can you play a long game?
What are some potential benefits of achieving your goals? How will they impact your life?
What are some potential drawbacks of pursuing this activity? How can you mitigate them? Do you even know how to or do you need professional guidance or coaching?
How will you celebrate your successes along the way? What rewards can you give yourself for making progress? What favorite things will you do to give yourself a lift?
What advice would you give someone else who is struggling to find purpose in pursuing a dream or a goal? How can you inspire and motivate others? What part of your experience would be the most motivational to others?
Use these prompts as a simple starting point, and write honestly or come up with your own ideas about how you would deal with moving forward with a purpose, instead of just spinning your wheels on the same spot without making progress.
