12 years ago I wrote this about setting goals. Seems like 2022 is a good time to reflect on how to set goals with the pandemic. Here’s a quick summary.
3 Steps for Goal Setting
Step 1
The first thing that you need to do is give yourself 10 minutes to develop a list of things that you would like to create, achieve, or experience in the future. Your future can be one day, a week, a month, or 10 years. Don’t limit yourself on the things that you want; write as many things as you desire.
Step 2
After writing down what you want to achieve, take another 10 minutes to break, then come back and write one day, week, month, and a year. Now take your choice that you want to achieve after the next 10 years and divide it into small goals that can be achieved in a day, a week, and in a month. Make sure that you are realistic when assigning time estimations on each divided goals. Step 2 needs about five minutes to finish, so trust yourself.
Step 3
Now check your list and choose the top five things that you believe are very important in your life. Take those things and list them according to the way you want to achieve and assign them according to goals to be delivered in a day, a week, a month and a year. In every goal, develop a paragraph explaining why and how you will make it, thus leading you to get what you want at the end. Step 3 is supposed to take about 10 to 20 minutes.
Make sure that you get a diary that you will be recording your daily progress and rewarding yourself after a month has past and looking for solutions where a problem occurred before you move your own. Majorly, every step that you take in achieving your goals will give you the confidence to obtain whatever you desire in the future.
