有一篇文章，它是在說，設定一個人生「夢想」是好的！但，設定夢想之餘，你是否也順便「規畫」了時程，每一天、每個月該做什麼事、該學什麼東西，來達成該夢想？
你的答案如果是「YES」，那就慘了！比方說，你希望三十歲前月薪達到五萬、找到一個可論及婚嫁的異性朋友、外加從基金賺到50萬！好，你現在有了三個夢想，接下來，你開始計畫每個月你要怎麼做來達成它們。就在這時候，問題出現了！這是一篇有趣的研究，學者發現，如果你針對你的人生目標夢想「過度規畫」，那你不宜有超過一個以上的夢想。因為，當你有不止一個目標，然後又試圖努力規畫每個目標，你會分身乏術，最後什麼也做不到──什麼意思？學者先找來一群實驗者，分成幾組，叫每一組的人都在一段時間之內完成一些目標。其中Ａ組的實驗者只需要完成「一件目標」，Ｂ組的則需要完成「六件目標」，而ＡＢ組都有一半的人被鼓勵要好好的「規畫」每天要做什麼做什麼來達到這一件目標或六件目標，而另外一半則故意讓他們漫無計畫的去往目標前進。設定好之後，五天後，學者回來，竟然發現令人吃驚的結果──Ａ組的實驗者由於只有一個目標要努力，學者發現，他們若開始細節計畫每一天，的確會做得比沒有計畫的同儕更好！不過，Ｂ組的結果，就令人跌破眼鏡了──Ｂ組的實驗者有高達六個目標要進行，學者發現，如果要他們細節計畫每一天，聽起來好像很合理，但結果卻不會比沒計畫的同儕更好。也就是說，當你只有一個夢想，愛怎麼規畫都可以，最好是細細的規畫，讓你一步一步「按步就班」的往夢想前進，不過，人怎麼可能只有一個夢想呢？人怎麼可能耐心的等待一個夢想實現後再去做下一個夢想呢？如果你的確心中有一個以上的夢想，那，請注意，設定夢想就好了，不要規畫、不要過度計畫，只要將夢想貼在牆上，不斷提醒自己就ＯＫ了！
不知道這研究大家看到有沒有觸動自己的經驗，以我自己來說，我很愛作夢，的確就如文章所說，總是設定「好幾個夢想」，而每個夢想，總是以自己每年的生日作為里程碑，而我生日是在每年年底的12月；我曾經許下願望，要在25歲那年出書，要在33歲那年換房子，要在35歲那年達到營收若干……目前幾乎都是年年達成，不過，事實上，我每年其實是設定了「三個夢想」，第一個是什麼，第二個是什麼，第三個又是什麼，但最後，其中一個達成了，但另外兩個倒不一定達成，不過，三個夢想一起走，讓我覺得很紮實、很完美、很有動力，即便三個夢想中往往有兩個是在「陪考」，最後只完成一個，依然值得慶祝！所以，從我的經驗加上這研究結果，我們的建議是，人要有「夢」，而且要多設定幾個夢想；不過，不必太「過度規畫」。聽到有些年輕一點的朋友說，兩年後要出國念書，於是從補習班學英文開始學起，或從開始認真看原文書查字典開始，甚至從每天要做什麼事開始……當你必須為某個夢想這樣繁複地規畫，往往暗示那不是一個好的夢想，或也可說是一個太遠的目標，應該將目標弄得簡單、易懂、馬上知道怎麼做、隨時像上了發條的馬達滴滴達達奮力往前衝。真正會達成的目標，是那種你不必計畫、就努力做好某些你本來就知道要做好的事，這樣就會成功；多設幾個這樣的目標，跑起來更帶勁，更容易成功。
這個實驗告訴我們，任何目標，都不要設得「太僵太硬」，拳頭不要握得太緊，應留下一些空間，讓夢想自己去完成自己；說不定輕輕走歪，促成另一個驚奇的夢，又何妨！
繼續作夢，又能繼續實現，真是美好，別扼殺作夢的美好，多作幾個夢，少規畫一點！
When Does Planning Interfere With Achieving Our Goals?
ScienceDaily (May 16, 2012) — It seems really simple: If you want to achieve something, set a goal and then make specific plans to implement it. But according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, consumers get overwhelmed while juggling multiple goals."Research has shown that forming specific plans for a single goal makes success more likely," write authors Amy Dalton (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) and Stephen Spiller (UCLA). "Most of us, however, are juggling multiple goals in our lives and jobs and managing a busy schedule is difficult. This raises the question of whether forming specific plans can help us accomplish more of the tasks we set out to do."
The authors looked at what happens when consumers make specific plans to pursue goals. For example, someone with the goal of eating a healthy meal might plan to "eat a salad with low-fat dressing at lunch tomorrow in the cafeteria." The research involved laboratory and field experiments that manipulated whether or not people plan in advance how they will implement their goals and the number of goals participants formed.
In one study, the authors provided participants with a to-do list of "virtuous activities" to complete over the course of five days; some people had one activity, but others had six. Half the participants were encouraged to plan specifically how, when, and where they would carry out the to-do list each day. "We found that specific planning helped people who had a single goal on their to-do list, but not people with multiple goals," the authors write. A second study, which involved a computer task, yielded similar results.Why is specific planning less effective when applied to a number of goals? The authors believe that planning reminds people of all the obstacles and constraints that stand in the way of achieving goals.
But planning isn't always detrimental to achieving multiple goals. In an interesting twist, the authors found that people came to see their goals as more manageable if they thought other people were juggling more goals than they were. "These people framed their goals as relatively easy to carry out and were more likely to benefit from planning," the authors write.
