Let me start by saying I don’t do new years resolutions. I do however like to set goals that are practical, measurable, and achievable. I share them with others so I feel a sense of commitment.
Have you set your goals?
Congratulations if you already have! You get extra kudos if you have committed them to paper.
I offer three tricks to setting your goals.
- Make them personal. Set your goals for you, not someone else.
- Make them practical. They can be personal or work-related, or both.
- Share them with others. This helps you commit to your success.
My last recommendation is to keep your goals visible. They do you no good tucked away in a binder or shoved in a drawer. Post them in your office, carry them on a small card in your wallet or purse, and put a copy on your closet door to look at every morning when you get dressed or consider putting it on your computer’s screen saver. Subliminal reminders work. And don’t forget to track your progress.
Plan to have a great year. I wish you success in exceeding your 2021 goals!
