These are all a copy-paste blurb from a blog.
"While the concept of goal-setting isn’t new, most of us forget how crucial the process is to actually accomplishing them.
“At the start of each year I write my goals down on note paper, big and small. The key is to check in with your list 1x per week. What are you starting today? What do you want to make happen this year? You have 361 days left, make each one count. Today could be the start of something great.”
Before you even start writing, really think deeply about what it is you want from life. If you’re undecided or your answer is a little muddy, it’s time to ask yourself some questions. What do you want to achieve? What do you need to learn in order to grow? What health changes need to take place? What is the one thing you can’t not do to be happy? What does your dream life look like?
once you have them all down, formulate them into clear-cut goals. The clearer you are, the better, because then you can really focus on making them happen. Once they are laid out, you can start to visualize what you want and think about around how achieving those goals will make you feel.
Now that you’ve articulated what you want to achieve, it’s time to write your goals down. This is the fun part. To create a truly balanced and successful life, you need to split them into seven key categories: Spiritual; financial; career and business; family; health; relationships; personal growth; and community contribution. Try to include at least three to four goals under each category, but it’s really up to you; let them flow. Identify the purpose of each goal and why you want to achieve it—this is key. This will help you determine how important it really is to you, and whether it’s worth the effort.
If you’ve noted at least three goals per category, you’ll end up with a fairly long list. To stay focused and manifest each goal into reality, separate them into short and long-term goals. Short-term goals might be to pay off your credit card debt, start exercising three times a week, or to leave work on time. The long-term equivalent of these would be to save a deposit for your first house, become more confident about your appearance, or score that promotion at work.
Now that all your goals are written down, it’s time to set realistic timelines. When do you want each of them to happen? Write down tentative dates that you can stick to and work toward. Having a deadline pushes you and keeps you on task; otherwise, it’s too easy to lose focus. If tangible calendar dates are too rigid for you, set a benchmark with a window of time to achieve it within. These dates will bring your attention back to the end goal if you get distracted. These dates are flexible, too. You can adjust your timeline and expectations as you see fit. If you find that things are moving too slowly and you need to pick up pace, you can always change your timeline.
An important part of goal-setting is the check-in process. Make sure you review your list regularly; how often is up to you, but just make sure you do it. Some people like to look at their list daily; others prefer to check in weekly or even bimonthly. This process is really important for staying on target and keeping your goals front of mind".
