Cut your goal list by identifying relationships between items.
Some things will complement one another, and this synergy will allow you to work toward more than one goal at a time. Some may feel like irreconcilable conflicts.
Establish your priorities by articulating your core values and motivations.
The most important benefit of setting goals isn't achieving your goal; it's what you do and the person you become in order to achieve your goal that's the real benefit. Goal setting is powerful because it provides focus.
Evaluate and reflect. Regularly write down where you are right now, and if you are happy with your current level of satisfaction.
Define your dreams and goals. What do you want? Schedule some quiet “dream time” and think about what really thrills you. Then prioritise those dreams.
Make your goals S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-sensitive)
Have accountability. Find someone to hold you accountable to your goals.
Good habits are the key to success. If you have goals that don't seem to be getting any closer, it's because you haven't developed your habits. With every year that passes, you find yourself stuck in the same place. Struggling professionally. Nowhere near your ideal body. Without the social life you're after.
Create a Household Budget: the best habit to help you save money. A household budget helps to encourage frugality and discourage impulse spending. You’ll feel more motivated to engage in other good financial habits once you’ve got this in place.
Financial Audits. This involves frequent checks as to whether you’re spending your money as wisely as possible.
Success in almost everything involves time management. It seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything that you need to do accomplished, but if you want to achieve much more than others in a shorter amount of time, you must improve how you manage that time.
Time is our precious resource. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities of lower value to activities of higher value.
Your “frog” is your most important task, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on if you don’t do something about it.
If you have two important tasks, start your day with the biggest, hardest, and most important task first. Focus on completing it before you go to the next one.
We tend to confuse activity with accomplishment: we attend endless meetings and make plans, but at the end of the day, no one does the job and gets the results required.
“Failure to execute” is among the biggest problems in organizations today.
