Goal Setting

Setting goals is a crucial part of achieving success.

But often, the goals we set don’t work as well because they are poorly defined or not very motivating – which means it’s just as inefficient to have no goal at all!

People should care about learning to set goals – it will ultimately make them feel better about their performance (in other areas) if they can do this.

It is beneficial for people – they will work better towards what they want to accomplish if they have a goal-setting process, rather than having no goal at all or a bad one.

When you write down your goals, you can refer back later and use effective techniques such as SMART goals to help make them more manageable.

We need to write clear and concise statements about what we want.

The perfect goal can be measured and is specific and time-related.

Measurable means we need to know how much progress we are making towards achieving the desired result.

This means that your goals need to include some form of assessment or evaluation at regular intervals, throughout a project timeline!

The best thing about Smart Goals is that they’re not just clever because people will feel better if their plans are achievable – but also understandable.

With this type of clarity, achieving one’s personal best on any given day doesn’t matter as much!

Specific goals:
It has a clear beginning and a clear end, as well as a measurable outcome.

Here are some examples of general versus specific goals:

• I will avoid sugars for 21 days / I will do my best to lose 4 pounds.
• I want to lose weight.
• I will go jogging four times a week for 40 minutes each time.
•  want to develop a new skill.
  I will weigh 10% less by December 2022.
• I want a new job
•  I will build my website by May 15.
• I want a car
•  I will fix my car’s engine by June 30.

The examples with the “I will” are specific goals. The general ones are not! They are wishes.

Our wishes are great, but they do not have any set destination, time frame or even a plan to accomplish them!

The best way to measure your goals is by assigning a numerical value to aspects of your life that can be measured and then tracking these numbers over time.

Be specific about what will happen every month, week or day. – not just saying “I will do better” without any quantification involved.

Only try to set goals that you can achieve – and if they seem too easy, then maybe it’s time to make them harder!

Don’t be too hard on yourself, as this can lead to feeling like you’re not doing well enough and becoming demotivated.

Realistic goals:
– Can be broken down into smaller, achievable tasks that you track throughout the process.
– Allows you to try and improve it every time you complete it!

Time-based Goals:
There are many advantages to having a deadline on your goal – the most important is that it makes you take action right away.

You don’t want to spend weeks or months setting goals and not doing anything with them, so deciding when you must complete them, means you can start working towards them immediately.

Having a time limit makes your goals seem much more achievable.

Getting things done now – what could be more inspiring than that?

In conclusion, we can say that goal-setting is a fun and effective way of getting things done.

However, make sure you set the right one to avoid wasting your time and energy!
