For instance, if used alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/ambitious-goals\/\">stretch goals<\/a> can become too overwhelming. You\u2019ve come up with big ideas, but have no idea how to act on them. Because you\u2019re unsure how to move forward, you just do nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, if you simply give yourself a list of snappy SMART goals without any overarching goal to tie them together, you can lose sight of your higher purpose and the objectives you should prioritize to achieve that purpose. You risk becoming too focused on achieving cognitive closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cognitive closure is a thought process that\u2019s rooted in a preference for decisiveness over ambiguity.<\/strong> In general, your brain is drawn to making quick, clear choices, rather than remaining in a state of uncertainty or confusion. You find yourself wanting to get things done and meet your goals because it makes you feel productive. It brings you a feeling of closure that is satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chasing cognitive closure can sometimes be useful. It can help you to move forward efficiently, rather than spending a long time going back and forth over what to do. However, it becomes problematic when feeling the closure and satisfaction that comes with completing a goal becomes more important to you than the actual productivity of the goal. If you fall into this trap, you may be tempted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/setting-effective-goals\/\">set SMART goals<\/a> that are quick and easy to complete so that you can feel closure swiftly, rather than productive goals that will help you to move forward and achieve your higher aims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overcome Cognitive Closure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To overcome these pitfalls and achieve maximum productivity, you should use stretch and SMART goals together.<\/strong> You should start with an ambitious stretch goal and then flesh out the process of achieving that goal using targeted SMART goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing this makes the goal-setting process smoother in two ways. Firstly, if you break down your ambitious stretch goal into smaller, easily actionable SMART goals, you can avoid becoming overwhelmed. Creating concrete steps towards meeting the stretch goal makes it much more manageable. You\u2019ve created a framework you can follow to move closer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fulfill-your-dreams\/\">achieving your dreams<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, pairing your SMART goals with a stretch goal helps you to avoid the trap of cognitive closure. The stretch goal provides you with the focal point that you need to ensure that your SMART goals are truly productive, and not just fast-track routes to closure. If you create your SMART goals keeping your stretch goal in mind, you\u2019re less likely to veer off course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Flexible With Your Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One final element of successfully using SMART and stretch goals is <strong>a willingness to be flexible with your goals.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our pursuit of cognitive closure, we can become unwilling to revisit our goals once we\u2019ve set them. We want to chase the satisfaction of meeting those goals, and not risk losing our closure if we revisit our goals and find that they\u2019re no longer appropriate for our situation. Because of this, we slip into a state of rigidity of thought. We become unwilling to consider any other possibilities than our current goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we become too rigid and refuse to revisit our goals, we could spend large amounts of time focusing on a goal that\u2019s no longer productive. Instead, we need to be open to constantly evaluating and reconsidering our goals, and deciding whether they\u2019re still the best way forward. Do we have new information that affects the relevance of our goals? Have our priorities changed? If so, we need to set new goals accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you understand cognitive closure and work to overcome it, you can set and achieve more productive goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is cognitive closure?
