On the introductory episode of Mad Writers Union we discuss setting goals and setting yourself up to achieve them. What does it take to create goals that actually help you to achieve them? What else can you do to help yourself to achieve your goals?

Some concepts from the episode:
SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time bound goals)
WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) from the book Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation by Gabriele Oettingen
Cue, routine, reward from the book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
