said before, for many years I didn’t care about goal setting. To be
honest, I think it made me feel uncomfortable because committing to
goals and writing them down suddenly meant that I could measure
what I had achieved and what I did not achieve, and I didn’t have the
courage to do that.
It’s important to write down your goals for various reasons:
1) When you write them down, you declare to your mind, that out of
the 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts you have a day, THIS ONE written
down is the most important.
2) You start concentrating and focusing
on the activities that bring
you closer to your goal. You also start taking better decisions,
while you are focused on where you want to go, always keeping
in mind whether what you are doing
in this moment is really the
best use of your time.
3) Having a look at your written goals every day forces you to act
and helps you to prioritize your actions
for the day by asking
yourself questions such as, “In
this moment, is doing what I’m
doing bringing me closer to my goals?”
Before starting the change process, you have to be clear about your
goals. Then break them down into small achievable action steps and
make a list of all the steps that you will take to get there. Calculate
how long it will take you. Don’t forget to set a deadline for each
action step and goal. Don’t worry if you don’t reach the goal by the
exact
date you set; it’s just a way of focusing on the goal and
creating a sense of urgency. One of
my favorite quotes from my
coaching training is
