Research Revealed Power of Writing Down a List of Your Goal

We often make list, we also often underestimate it. This article shows research reveals that writing down the list of goal and dream help you to reach your dream. That is the power of writing down the list.

If we have so many products that we want to buy, we make a wish list. That makes us more focus and more successful to do. Without a list, we easy to distract our attention to new advertising and offering in a supermarket. That can bury our previous goal. We can’t buy a product that we plan before. It keeps us away from the goal. It can happen over and over again.

In a long-term perspective, that spends the time in a different direction. It keeps away from the goal and dream. We have a problem with our career, relationship, and our life.

In brief, writing list of goal and dream help us to achieve our desires. I will show you an explanation.

Dr. Gail Mattews recently study art and science about goal setting. She is a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California. She research 267 people. That is including man and women, entrepreneurs, educator, artist, healthcare, lawyer, and banker.

She classified the research participants into categories. The categories based on who wrote down a list of their goals and dreams, and who didn’t.

She found amazing discovery. The group who wrote their goal regularly achieved those achievements more.

Why? writing a list of goal related to our brain. When we writing the list, our left and right hemisphere engage in the goal. Without writing down the list, only right hemisphere that engages.

If we think about our goals or dreams, we are only using our imaginative center only. That is the right hemisphere of your brain. That is not enough to install our goal in our brain.

We need to also use left hemisphere of the brain to engage our goal and dream. How to use our the left? Think our desire and write it down. By writing our goal and dream we also using logic-based left hemisphere…

And you transmit your consciousness about the goal, desire, and dream to our body. We send the consciousness to every cell of your body.

So, writing down the list of goal and dream make our brain and body more engage with your dream. That drives us to do something important action and ideas to reach goals.

Big Data, Cambridge Analytica and Democracy

In the big data era, it is important to learn from Cambridge Analytica and democracy problem. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. The New York Times write controversial news on March 17, 2018, about Cambridge Analytica. The British political consulting firm uses 50 million Facebook users in 2014 for the campaign. Right-wing donors to the firm for Trump campaign.

Two Perspective

In firm perspective, that is data mining and data analytics. That has no moral problem. That is their job. Their job is to collect data and analysis. That is smart, good and get money. What is a problem? That is business.

Cambridge analytic is not alone. So many companies, business, and politic firm create a data mining about demographic and psychographic then analyze the profiles and target the smallest market segment that they can service. That is marketing process. Then in politic, data help political parties to select most easy people to persuade. Don’t care about intellectual that difficult to persuade. Even though intellectual have a big concern about the public good.

But in another perspective that confronts, that is wrong. They use personal data. People didn’t give permission to use. Somebody or institution can use personal data to create influence and persuasion. The problem is people can not control goal of the persuasion words, because they hide. Trump campaign using personal data to persuade and win.

To collect information, Cambridge using personality quiz app. Then they get 50 million personal data from Facebook. Personality quiz app is like an academic tool to measure our personality.

Big Data and Cambridge Analytica Democracy

A political election is part of the democratic idea, that people free to choose a leader. Leader and participant ideas. In that procedure, freedom, justice, equality, and prosperity for all are created.

With political targeting, is freedom, equality, and justice for all is created? Rich people with big data access will get more power. In the case of Cambridge analytica democracy in question.
