This Great Debate About MILESTONES

When I was little, I loved looking through my very own "Baby's Book", which my mama meticulously compiled through the years from my hand print and footprint straight from my infancy.  Fast-forward to our maturity as office workers, we would bear witness to projects here and there, and tied like an umbilical cord to each project discussion are MILESTONES.  Suddenly, those MILESTONES were like straight from The Ten Commandments.  Today, let's spend time on This Great Debate About MILESTONES📗📙📘

And here are the two sides of MILESTONES. It's true it becomes an obsession and in the project management space, this becomes very effective as a tool to track the progress of one's project.  And even in a child's development, true you can keep track of a child's progress.  And then as we swing over to our life, the bigger question is, should we peg MILESTONESs across our day-to-day life❔❔❔

The answer to that query should be a loud NO because our life is NOT within the realms of project management or even the development of a child.  WHY should we peg MILESTONES into our relationships?  True, couples will celebrate 5 years, 10 years and so on.  BUT life goes way beyond just those calendar MILESTONES✅✅✅

In short, to build a life model, besides pegging MILESTONES based on multiples of five years, WHAT else is the rational to set MILESTONES?  Do we set MILESTONES to target that a couple will NOT get into those arguments that progress into a debate that leads to a full-blown fight❓❓❓

OR, do we set MILESTONES so that you DON'T need to hit the snooze button each time the alarm sounds off?  OR do we set MILESTONES so that you will be performing QUALITY outputs at work?  NO sirrrrrs. Those are part and parcel of your habit formation and even if you did achieve those targets the past weeks, you need to track yourself everyday.  Same goes with the state of one's relationship as that entails mutually constant efforts.  Let us ground to a full stop this [NOT SO] great DEBATE ABOUT MILESTONES❗❗❗
