Personal Goal Setting

Plenty of people set goals at work but sadly like new years resolutions a lot of them are never achieved.

We get comfortable, we get cozy, we get busy and the urgent crowds the important.

But there are ways we can make it for more likely that we'll actually accomplish what we said we'd do and be the kind of people we want to be, people of our word.

Here are three ways to stick to your plan and get more done:

1. First, think about recruiting an accountability partner. This could be a co-worker or someone from another part of your life.

Your goals don't have to be the same. Even if the goals differ the thrust is the same, you know what you need in order to get better and you just need to stick to it.

Having an accountability partner, someone you report back to on your successes and sometimes your failures, helps alot and reminds you what you need to be doing.

2. Another strategy is to make your goals public. If you tell others about them, it can be embarrassing if you fall short, and while embarrassment isn't a great feeling. It can be strategically useful to you.

It helps guide you in the right direction. Not necessarily post on Facebook your long term goals, but you can tell your friend or boss or your co-workers, in this way you'll be more rigorous with you and your steps.

3. A nice strategy is to reward yourself, if and only if you accomplish your goals. And don't be modest, after all is about you. In this way you can connect the activity with the reward, for instance, if you manage to earn your boss place, you deserve a vacation to Bali. After all both of them are a success.

Anyone can set goals, but not everyone can achieve them.

See how you can begin with your plan, what markers you set for every goal, what strategy is the best to apply for your plan, and maybe we'll meet in Bali.
