Input vs. Output Goals

If you know me at all, you know that I love setting and accomplishing goals. It’s how I run just about every facet of my life, and for the most part, it has taken my career and interests in some pretty awesome directions. So it should come as no surprise that I read a lot of personal productivity books, and something I’ve noticed over the years is this false dichotomy in the literature, and that is whether we should set input or output goals.
