Intent for the new year. Long-term goals by Alvaro Blades ‘Darkored’
Hottie
seems the final article Álvaro Blades ‘Darkored’ . This is a reflection of the validity of the resolutions for the new year and its approach to poker players. Is it really good plan for a whole year from one day? As always you can read all articles in the weblog Alvaro Darkored .
With the arrival of the new year come the good intentions and the famous purposes. Going to the gym, losing weight, quitting smoking, cancer cure your little pony, are things that we all intend and 99% have just forgotten after a couple of months at most. A poker players the same thing happens because, although sometimes they seem, are people too: P How many friends you have who are going to be Super Nova Elite this year? What about friends who go to make 1 million hands to 4bb/100 of winrate? If the answer to this question is any one or more … you will realize, as do I, that there is something wrong.
It is strange how the New Year’s resolutions. Why we get so many goals at once, why not distributed consistently throughout the year? We love to challenge ourselves and show we can do better, however we fail to focus. If we obsess on we have to do many things at once overwhelmed and end up doing none, and likewise if our goal is far away and lose perspective will become disillusioned.
The obvious examples are the NES (Super Nova Elite) PokerStars VIP Educapoker system, and any other annual reward system. Every year thousands of people try it and get it in the end only a few dozen. Why? Because, as I said, long targets are diluted with the passage of days. It makes me laugh the people who organize for the year SNE …
-”¡ Ostia tio, I calculated that if I play 5 hours a day throughout the year I get to SNE “
- Yeah, but have you thought that you can not play 365 days a year? ¬ ¬
- “Okay, okay, then I take the weekends and I have to do 7 hours Monday to Friday all year”
- 7 hours a day playing a few tables 12-14 seems a bit silly do not you?
- “Yes well, but I stand”
- And you thought that in a year you can be sick, you can rebentar the pipes at home, pudes friends have birthdays, you can ruin your PC, a surprise burial, you can drop an airplane in your backyard or any misfortune ?

Obviously our friend has not thought … Why? Because even our friend believes that it is planning a full year, your subconscious is planning a month and multiplying it by 12. More specifically … the month of January. And as I said before the month of January is the month of good intentions … Exeunt all accounts! But the reality is that then there are bridges, travel, summer, family, friends, fatigue, aircraft in the garden and all your remaining days to the annual target. So it is best to heed our subconscious goals on time and look smaller. A monthly target is easier to meet one year, since the goal is displayed nearby and gives you strength to continue.
With short-term goals get focus and concentrate our energies into something finite, which also bring us great satisfaction for having fulfilled our task. This satisfaction will become motivation for our next “little” because we know that goal is feasible and feed back on the wheel again.
In conclusion I wish to clarify that it is not that long-term goals are a disaster. I think it important to have targets, but must always have them visible or losing focus. Marcato short-term goals, or the ultimate goal subdivided into small “control points” that help you be 100%, but always with half a brain, which as I said earlier would not think it … we are people too
