Setting Daily GoalsWeekly Goals - the Six Most Important Things List
Setting Daily Goals, Setting Daily/Weekly Priorities-
the Six Most Important Things List
How do I make progress at Wealthy Affiliate and my life? Kyle and Carson have us state our financial and time goals which is TERRIFIC.
I invite you to consider that setting daily goals and daily or weekly priorities helps pave the way to the path of your success.
Mary Kay Ash* (I’d highly recommend reading her story even if you take issue with her product lines…she started as a Fuller Brush sales person, for example and was one savvy business woman) trained on the Six Most Important Things list every day.
(Think about this question before you start your day or do it the night before…)
What are the Six Most Important Things I must accomplish? If this seems like a lot or too daunting, then consider What is the ONE most important thing I must do to start achieving my goals? I personally try to take at least one solid step towards accomplishing my goals each and every day.
Write them down (or put them in digital form in a free app such as Wunderlist, or EverNote)
Here is an example of what my Six Most Important Things looks like for today:
1.Write a blog for the Wealthy Affiliate community
2.Reach out and welcome 1-5 new members of the Wealthy Affiliate community
3.Write out/build out one idea more themed content from my 30 ideas from Kyle’s lesson.
4.Complete at least one lesson or retake one within Wealthy Affiliate.
5.Sort out how to add Affiliate links/plugs (non-WA into my websites)
6.Get my oil changed in my car
That’s it. I write my list out every night before I go to sleep. This list is laden with Wealthy Affiliate goals…some days it has ½ that are personal or professional in other aspects. Sometimes I'll create a new list later in the day after I accomplish my list because I'm likely an overachiever and am goal-driven. Keep it Simple, Sweetheart, though..If one goal per day is what's achievable and manageable for you then SET THE GOAL and achieve it. Make it achievable and bite-sized, though. My goal yesterday, was sorting out how to learn how to put the SiteRubix widget into my websites (thanks to my fellow WA student in live chat who connected me with the lesson to learn how to do it, by the way!) Another example is, I’m currently seeking to make more face-to-face good friends in the community where I live so I consider what steps or activities I might need to take to accomplish this larger goal.
What steps are you taking each day to achieve your goals in Wealthy Affiliate and in life in general? Do you have tools to accomplish daily goals/priorities? Would something like the Six Most Important Things list or the ONE BIG IMPORTANT THING to do list be helpful to you?
Hope this helps at least one person here.
I know it’s made the world of difference for me (of course, some days are better than others…sigh …giggle)
I’d love to hear how you handle things! Drop me a comment or share how you handle things every day and every week! I’d love to learn more about you and how you achieve success.
Cheers to achieving your goals here and in your life!
Salud!

Very good. And if you will get my oil changed while your at it. It would free me up for a 7th task.
giggle...understood. I actually used the opportunity to chat up the people doing the work to share about Wealthy Affiliate and free websites... ;-)
There ya have! Fun! Gotta have fun, too! Happy Thankful Thursday, too! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! ~ t
A daily list is very important to me. It drives me to accomplish things that are needed. Without the list, I am not as motivated to get things done.

Thanks for the comment. What does your daily list look like? Is it a simple list or detailed? I'm just curious. Thanks again! ~ t
It is very detailed, I have taken Franklin Covey course about 20 years ago. Since then I make list everyday. Prioritize each item, then check off when done. Sometimes I do things that are not on the list, I mulched leaves today, was not on the list.
John
I've used Franklin Covey, too. It's not uncommon for me to do things off my list. I found the Covey method was getting me way to bogged in the details (at least for me). Glad it works well for you! Maybe the Covey method will help other people here at Wealthy Affiliate, too). By the way, I'd be jumping and playing in the leaves...making "leaf angels" before I'd finally sigh and mulch 'em...just sayin'! ~ t
We already jumped and played in the leaves. The Covey method is very detailed, I only make a list on a paper, prioritize it, check it off when done each day. It would take too much of my time to use the book that was given when I started the program.
John
Sounds like you keep it simple and tailored it for your successful use. Terrific! (Glad you jumped and played in the leaves first, too) ~ t
