Make your goals relevant to you- goals should reflect your dreams. Goals should be steppingstones to achieve overall success. Where do you see yourself once completing these goals? Balancing the alignment between long-term and short-term will give you the focus.
Understand what is involved for achieving your goal – Having goals are empty words unless you understand the meaning behind them and an action plan for how to achieve it. Goals need to be specific otherwise they will not give you the direction to follow. Trust the plan.
Prioritise your goal- Committing to a goal means it is on the top of your list in life. A goal is not important to you if you agree to achieve this next step, but the goal gets last on your priorities list. Understanding your goal helps priorities it.
Set deadlines – Deadlines are time limits with pressure. They give you the invisible “push” to stay on track and complete your goals.
Write down your goals – goals are specific, attainable, measurable and relevant. Writing gown your goals is a constant reminder of how to stay on track. Sometimes we forget our deadline or why this goal may be relevant to us. Other aspects of life become easily distracting. Writing down goals keeping them visible all the time, allows you to explore other ways of achieving your goal and grows your motivation to complete it.
