There are instances when life seems to be a battle against oneself. Everyone has a dream they want to pursue. Things get tricky pursuing dreams, which leads to unending excuses, digressions, and whatnot. Dreams don’t come easy. They become reality only by sheer hard work and discipline. To make it easier, focus on small goals that lead to our bigger dreams. In her article at Lifehack, Agnese Rudzate suggests several ways to set goals and achieve them.
One Day at a Time
Setting goals and aiming to achieve them can be a daunting task in the beginning. You must understand it is not about the journey; it is the next step that matters. It is not about winning the game; it is about scoring the next point.
Reflect on Your Decisions
Introspecting and analyzing your decisions makes you understand your psyche better. Take time to reflect on your last week. It will elucidate an analytical map highlighting your shortcomings, strengths, strategies, and executions. Why did you fail? How should you resolve that situation? The clearer our minds, the better we know what we want and how to achieve it.
Make Regular Goals
Now that you have analyzed last week, focus on your goals for next week. Brainstorm your goals and think of exciting new ways to achieve them. If you have too many goals, prioritize them and move ahead. There might be several goals that take weeks to complete. Follow-up and analyze how to shorten the time it takes to reach them.
Cherish Accomplishments
It is important to acknowledge your achievements no matter how big or small they are. Don’t wait for monthly, or quarterly achievements to celebrate your win. Show gratitude for your diligence to have come this far.
This will surely help you achieve greater heights. In addition, you should set reminders to keep an account of the tasks, along with the regular arrangement of goals in a calendar. Writing them down makes the goals seem realistic and achievable.
