Healthy Tip of the Week (HTW)
For the new 2024 year, GetHealthyHarlem.org will post a healthy tip each week! You will find a new healthy tip at the beginning of every week on GetHealthyHarlem.org that will give you new ideas on ways to stay fit, eat right, protect the environment, reduce stress, and prevent or manage hypertension.
HTW #1 (01/02/2011-01/08/2011):
Instead of making a general goal to "eat healthier," set specific goals for changes you want to make. For instance, set a goal to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day or exercise for 30 minutes each day. Specific goals will help you measure your progress.

Flag as inappropriateI think general goals are as easy to ignore than specific goals. It's about the will and the motivation to reach the goal. For control purposes of course it is better to set concrete goals and tick them after finishing, but general goals could be more motivation because you let yourself enough action space. It depends on the type of human being you are. Try it for yourself and start with sports, and I do not mean Wii sports ;D !
