THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TRACKING PROGRESS

In a study authored by Benjamin Harkin, PhD, and published in the journal Psychological Bulletin, Harkin and his team found that regularly tracking progress toward your goal significantly increased your chances of achieving it.1 The press release, published on the American Psychological Association website, says:

Harkin and his colleagues conducted a meta-analysis of 138 studies comprising 19,951 participants that looked at the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment designed to prompt participants to monitor their goal progress. The studies focused primarily on personal health goals such as losing weight, quitting smoking, changing diet or lowering blood pressure. They found that prompting participants to monitor their progress toward a goal increased the likelihood that the participants would achieve that goal. Furthermore, the more frequent the monitoring, the greater the chance of success.
