We all know about the pesky New years eve goals you make yourself that you never end up reaching.. well as a sub that it just not an option…

Every starting January, I add in a day to ask my sub the goal for the year. I usually split into personal, professional and financially.

Once i have the goals, i store them, and every month when planning in activity i add in something that will encourage them to interact and progress towards goals.

First thing first though, always look over the goals. They should be measurable and reasonable. You can not put “i would like to go to Mars for a stroll” as this is very hard to be able to reach for someone who doesn’t have an astronaut sub. Nor can you go “I would like to be nicer to people” as this is not something you can measure if you do.

Goal should be along the lines of “i would like to spend 10mins each day learning this new language” or “I would like to do 3 days of charity work this year” or anything along those lines.

You do not choose what the sub should have as goals, but you can help guide the goals to something that can be measured and kept reasonable.

Once you have the goals, find activities that compliments. If your sub have chosen they wish to learn French, you can set an activity such as “Make a small poem in French in worship of your Mistress/Master”. Tailor to skills. Also for language, I suggest you both download Duolingo, as you can friend up and thereby encourage/support your subs progress, and if they dont do it, its always a good reason for a bit of punishment.

You can also check they know words, and if they dont.. a fun little punishment. If they know the words, then they can be rewarded.

If their goal is to do charity work and you happen to have the option, you can choose to set it up and do it together

if they want to improve behaviours around language, you can monitor and punish/reward where appropriate.

In addition, if you have some goals you want to achieve, you can set up activity where your sub ends up supporting you. This can be them joining training sessions and taking notes for you, or them having to make a test for you to take

If you haven’t done yet, go ask your partner their goals this year, and use them as something to bring you closer together for 2024!

Any great goals, that you have with your partner, please do share with us in the comment section
