Working On Me

When you have written down your goals, what do you do then? If you do nothing, then the chances are that these goals will never be more than dreams. If you want to attain them, there are some things you need to do, such as:

• Put them up on a wall where you can see them every day. Now and then, move them around so that your brain doesn't just edit them out through over-familiarity.
• Print them on a bookmark that you use in your planner or some other book you open regularly.
• Talk to people about them – either all of them or just one goal per person.
• See if you can become a 'goal buddy' with someone who also has written goals.
• Try and have one conversation every week that's about one or more of your goals.

Constantly challenge yourself (and your goal buddy!) with questions like:

• What have I done this week that gets me nearer these goals?
• What can I do in just ten minutes to progress one of my goals?
• If I spent a whole day working towards just this one goal, what could I achieve?
