How to set your goals and achieve them in 2018
With the entry of 2018, it is time to use this time to review, plan and make decisions for this new year.
Do you set goals? Do you re-set your goals year after year without any progress? Have you started to forget the new goals? According to a study conducted at Scranton University in 2014 that only 8% of people are already achieving their goals each year.
Let's not talk about the New Year's resolutions, the goals that have been developed. But we will talk about the most important and why can not we achieve the goals we set? Do we really want these goals? Through research and some personal experiences we highlight
Three reasons for not achieving the goals are:
1- Put a lot of goals at once:
When we put a lot of goals, for example travel, start a new business, lose about 10 kilos of weight or run in the marathon, or get promoted, in this case we put ourselves in front of many goals and therefore a lot of focus and deviations , Exposing our goals to failure
When that happens, we do not achieve the progress we want as we take a lot of time to reach our goals or fall out of some of those goals that we might achieve if we give her more time and focus. That does not mean that we should not have many Of the goals. In life, everyone is bound and has a lot of goals and goals that change during the different stages of life. But you need to focus now and choose no more than three goals to achieve during the year. These goals should be important to you and you really want to achieve them.
2- You do not really want the goals set by:
Have you ever set goals just because you think it is nice to achieve such goals?
You have to verify that you want to achieve these goals already and that this desire stems from your heart. Because you think that some of the goals you want to achieve are not your real goals, but actually they are just actions you want to achieve. You may spend a lot of time and spend a lot of energy to achieve these goals, but in the end you may realize that you do not want them on the spot and therefore create an internal conflict. For example: Do you know why you want to get promoted in your job? Do you know why you want to travel or set up a new business?
3 - You set goals are not clear and difficult to achieve in a short period of time:
If you have modest goals, you will achieve modest and normal results. If you set unclear and ambiguous goals, you will get vague and unclear results. Be clear about what you want to do with specific actions, with a non-negotiable timetable and a deadline that can not be postponed
And also when setting goals you want to give all the estimated steps of the work and schedule as much as possible. It is wonderful to complete what I started as I had planned in the past. When you set rigid goals, for example: when you plan to lose a certain number of kilos each month without fail or draw a plan without expectation of failure or without taking breaks or even expect a change. Sooner or later these goals will become a big burden for you.
8 steps to set goals and achieve:
For example, you want to set a goal of keeping your health so that you can handle the high medical costs in the future. Or want to develop a plan to establish a business so that it can live freely and independently. Develop and achieve goals not only to build character and to advance in life but also to gain confidence and empowerment when goals are achieved. When you achieve the goals you set up before, be more enthusiastic to do more to achieve more goals.
Step 1: Without your goals:
This step is simple and basic, but there are many who set their goals in their heads and not on paper. But over time, with the distracted things of the Portuguese, you may be tempted to forget about the goals you set in the past.
Step 2: Choose 1-3 Goals that are already important to you:
Choose the goals you really want to achieve, goals that represent your own and your ambitions. And not just achievements you want to achieve to impress others.
Step 3: Know why you want to achieve those goals:
Your goals should not be for someone else but for yourself. Why do you want to lose weight? Why do you want to get promoted in your business? What is the motivation behind wanting to start a new business?
Step 4: Get rid of these few goals some actions with a specific timetable:
Select a work list for each of the few goals you've selected with a specific schedule. And divided these procedures into more small steps. In fact, some human development experts suggest breaking goals into very simple steps so you can do them right away.
Step 5: Without your goals and actions in a place where you see:
Make your goals, reasons, and actions clear to you not only to remind you of what you want to achieve, but to allow you to review and track the progress you make.
Step 6: Work on the Goals:
There is no verb = no progress. All the plans and brainstorming that you felt as a productive practice at the time of planning your goals are not just what you want to do, but you will not reach your goals with planning alone. Action must be taken
Step 7: Track your progress:
Make an appointment with yourself on a regular basis to find out and determine your progress in achieving your goals. This meeting may be weekly or monthly or every three months depending on the desire and circumstances. Be aware of the schedule you set. When setting goals, we tend to be much more ambitious and want to achieve much in the least amount of time. When we do not see results, we may feel resigned and disappointed. You may select procedures and realistic steps that you can already make within your time limits and circumstances
If you find yourself unable to progress because of your lack of skills and experience, you should go out and get this knowledge, skills and experience.
Step 8: Get results for your progress:
Sometimes we may feel that we are stuck despite many actions. Having support from a group of people or friends you trust can help give you honest feedback about your progress and motivate you to do a better job. Be careful who you share your own motivation with and keep away from passive people.
The steps that are mentioned are in fact giving you a lot to define the characteristics of specific SMART goals that are measurable, realistic, and executable with a specific timetable. It includes the smartest way to set goals to include evaluation and review results. While we are keen to achieve our goals, we must learn to be patient and be ready to try. And in preparation for failure, when you fail do not rush and give up and do not tell yourself that you can not succeed. Successful people do not rely on skills, talents or experience, but they persevere a lot. And this is the separation between people who are entitled to their goals and people who do not pursue their goals Enjoy your trip in life and do not forget to celebrate every success achieved because the successes have no end.
