5 Tips Make Your Goals Come to Life
3/30/2016
1. Do something different. Go for a walk to clear you head, or
meet friends at the local coffee shop to brainstorm or respond to
questions or to make plans can do you the world of good. Sometimes a new
environment has been the key to increasing productivity and creativity
for me. Just change things around from your normal day.
2. Setting
goals inside and outside of work place are necessary to keep me
motivated. If I am just concentrating on work and not also on my home
life, I find it harder to want to work.
We all need life outside
of our 9 - 5 day. We also need goals for ourselves. You might choose to
learn to cook, learn a new language or speed read. Whatever you choose,
make it something you will enjoy.
3. Create a to do list. I love
lists and highlighting the completed activities makes me happy! Creating
a to do list not only helps you to get your must do's out of your mind,
it also helps you to think clearly as you are processing less
information at any given time. I love that feeling when I get the end of
any tasks that I complete, as it gives me a great feeling of
accomplishment. I can also reflect on this list in the future to see how
I worked through problems if something similar arises.
I write my
list in order of priority. I can then to see the scale of what I am
working on and be able put my to do's in an order to work in with my
day. I usually have several projects on the go at once and this helps me
to be balanced over my schedule.
4. Sometimes there are things we
just cannot do alone this is when we need to ask for help. This can be
one of the hardest things to do, but remember that you can return the
favour one day so it does not all need to be one-sided.
If you are
at work, make your goal a joint effort and get buy in from the team. If
the goal is at home, maybe you could ask your partner, family member or
friend if they would like to learn that new language with you so you
can practice on each other. Two brains are sometimes better than one.
5.
The most important for me is to reward myself when I get to the goal.
Don't fall in the trap of constantly looking for the next thing. Take a
break, reward yourself and those who helped you get there and appreciate
the journey. If you know the reward is coming, it makes it that bit
easier to work towards the big goal at the summit.
I find that the
main thing for me is to chip away a bit every day. It might be to reach
out to someone, write a quick article, remind myself of the purpose or
to read over the plan each morning. The focus of the goal must be big
enough to make you really want it enough to motivate you to move
forward.
Reaching the goals and rewarding yourself will give you
the improved mood and revitalised mind and body that will make you and
your team want to achieve more! Enjoy the process and reaching the end
goal.
