Have a BIG goal that you would like to achieve? How about password protecting that goal. For instance, if you’d like to retire at the age of 45, you could make one of your online passwords Retire45. If you need to lose 20 pounds your password could be LOSeTwenty. I’m sure you get the idea.
I learned from an article I read recently on the Income.com blog that one great way to achieve goals is with incremental success. Using this technique to create your passwords is one small method to help incrementally achieve your goals by providing a constant reminder. According to the author, John Reese:
In order for you to accomplish anything in life you have to learn the power of INCREMENTAL SUCCESS. Let me explain how it works…
It doesn’t matter what you want to accomplish… making a million dollars, losing 50 pounds, learning to speak French, etc. In order for you to accomplish what it is that you want you MUST achieve your goal incrementally.
This post was inspired by a comment (by commenter azpat) that I read on a Lifehacker.com post. Thank you for the inspiration.

That’s a cool idea. It’s almost like a continual reminder or call to action.
Ian, Thanks. I agree.
This is a very good idea. I’ve written for years abou. How important it is to keep your top goal “front and center”. One issue though is we can become numb to the post its, reminder alerts and unfortunately this too with time. However, I think if you change the wording every now and then, retire45 to retire@orbefore45, etc. That will help.
I’ve also developed a reminder system that rewords your goals and automatically SMS, or calendar alerts you. But this is an easy way to get started IMHO.
