Time-bound

Time Management, is the most important key to your success. Consider what you can accomplish in shorter and shorter periods. What can you accomplish after a month?

Research has shown that goals written down are more likely to be achieved than those not written down. This is why goal setting should begin with a list.

Sometimes, the journey to achieving your goal may not be as enjoyable just then but stay focused on the end result. The fun begins when you begin to see results daily.

Stay connected to the community so you can read success stories. Ask for advice. Polish your skills daily to achieve more in less time. You can do this!

Specific

Your goal must be specific. It is important to clearly describe what you are trying to accomplish. It must answer the following questions: who, what, where, when, how, and why?

For example, if you are trying to lose weight, your goal should be to lose 5kg so that you feel better about yourself. It will be done by eating healthy, switching to a plant-based diet, and exercising five times per week.

I love setting goals Lily, but sometimes I feel as if I set too many and eventually find it difficult to achieve them all, then I find myself getting lost in a never ending world of goals and meet very few of them!

I think this training will help me to organize and improve my skills in the goal setting world dramatically!

Much appreciated my friend and enjoy a fabulous day!:-)

Hi Jessie,
I know what you mean. I faced that problem a few years ago so I selected one long-term goal, with 3 short-term goals and baby steps each day to meet those goals.
It can all become overwhelming and stall your progress.
I hope my tips help you to streamline your goal setting.

Hugs
Lily

I set daily To do plans where I list my tasks in order of priority for the day. Those reminders make my day productive. I feel a sense of relief each time I finish a task and cross it out.
I still need medium-range and long-term goals to round out my planning.

That sounds like a great working plan Daz.
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow, you will find your mid and long-range goals in time.

I have always had difficulty with setting goals. I often achieve things, but I do not do it in a logical step-by-step manner.

However, that was my past and my future requires more discipline.

Thank you for these steps. I needed them.

You are welcome, Alex.
Really whatever works for you that you are happy with. Better to achieve and not set goals than not achieve at all.

Very pointed, thanks! I never hear thing enough. It is like positive reinforcement. The more we hear something, the more it resonates.

Thanks,

I totally agree Canty.

I think that I have been hearing about goal setting for about 40 years and it still resonates well with me. I do set my goals and break them down into daily habits which means it's rare for me to not succeed, even if it is later than I had hoped for.

The trick is to make the end goal achievable, not too long a stretch of the imagination.
