This week I am helping my clients to reflect on 2021 and project 2022.

 

And here are some of my top tips for goal setting

 

𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹. If something is not working, Chances are it doesn't work. Change your strategy.

 

𝟮. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗔𝗶𝗺 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 (then go a bit higher). The problem is not that we will aim too high and miss it, the problem is that, what if we aim too low and hit it?

 

𝟯. 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀. Most of us underestimate what we can do in a year and overestimate what we can do in a day or week. So first have an ambitious goal for the year and then break it down to small realistic weekly targets. Having a goal is not enough. You must have weekly targets that take you closer to your goal and keep you motivated.

 

𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹. Put Important things first, urgent things later. Because if we do not get the important things done proactively, soon everything will become urgent and we will get into this never-ending cycle of survival.

 

𝟱. 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻. You do not need a perfect plan. But you do need a very clear plan. Progress over perfection. If you can't do something, it does not mean you can't do some thing. Make a plan take action. You would be surprised that as you take the first step the next step becomes easier and clearer.

 

Now pick up a pen and journal and start planning
