That finished house (new habit) cannot just magically appear by itself. It requires that certain things be known, that certain steps be taken, and that certain actions be repeated as a prelude to the materialization of the finished house.

In other words, goal setting requires that you develop an action plan designed to guide, channel and motivate you towards your general aim. Goal setting is vital to habit management.

And research has shown that the more specific and ambitious a goal is, the more it correlates with improved performance. In other words, scientific research seems to suggest that specific and ambitious goals improve performance better than generalized and easy goals. Research evidence supports the idea that a positive linear correlation exists between the difficulty level of a goal and the likelihood of increased task performance.

Now, perhaps you ask “how does goal setting affect performance or outcomes”?

First, goals restrict your choice of action, thus narrowing and directing your attention and efforts towards only those activities that are relevant to the achievement of the goal.

Thus if you set a habit forming or habit breaking goal, it will narrow and direct your
