WHEN Your Goal Remains A WISH

WHEN Your Goal Remains A WISH

I am quite confident that each of you did exert your efforts to set your GOALS at least for 2024 [if NOT for the medium and long-terms] BUT here's a WHAT IF.  But here's a WHAT IF for us. IF and WHEN Your Goal Remains A WISH, when does that probability become a potential one to happen?  That GOAL to remain as a WISH will likely happen IF we did not lay down a concrete action PLAN to achieve the GOALS📗📙📘

This MOST quoted quote says it all.  Truth is, many of us set a GOAL with the intention of following through BUT they also think of a GOAL that is something that will happen far into the future.  BUT, many of us get stuck in the cycle of setting GOALS and NOT achieving them [AT ALL].  Many times, the path to the GOALs have been started but getting stuck either because of an issue stumbled across OR simply for NOT prioritizing TIME + EFFORTS towards achieving the GOALs.  We DON'T want to be compared to this ship with NO DESTINATION❎❎❎

So, let's NOT dilly-dally and grapple with this dilemma confronting many of us:

• WRITE DOWN your goals CLEARLY
• SET GOALS you passionately want to achieve
• Create "SMART GOALS" [we'll discuss later]
• Create an "ACTION PLAN"
• Stick to your "ACTION PLAN"
• MONITOR your progress
• ALERT yourself for delays in your timeline

I did attend the 7 HABITS Course of American Guru Stephen Covey, and without breaching IP rights, allow me to extract and share just 3 of those HABITS:

• Habit 1 - BE PROACTIVE
• Habit 2 - BEGIN with the END in mind
• Habit 3 - PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

There's one area Stephen Covey did highlight as our most common mistake.  We tend to tag many tasks as URGENT, and in the end, the List of URGENCIES is mile-long.  He highlights the confusion over TIME MANAGEMENT.  And the FIX?  Breakdown the URGENT tasks either as:

• HIGH URGENCY - HIGH IMPORTANCE
• LOW URGENCY - HIGH IMPORTANCE
• HIGH URGENCY - LOW IMPORTANCE
• LOW URGENCY - LOW IMPORTANCE
