MAKING GOALS FOR 2010
With 2010 now in full swing, many people have already made their New Year’s resolutions. Don’t worry if you are one who hasn’t, there is still plenty of time left to make your resolutions for 2010. Here are some tips to setting goals that you actually keep throughout the year.
First, sit down with a blank sheet of paper, lock yourself into a quiet room and make a list of everything you would like to achieve or change. Dig up some you did not do last year and add some new ones for this year. It could be as simple as losing weight, exercising more or donating more of your time to your favorite charity.
Once you have completed your list, take a break and then come back to your list. Highlight those items that gave you the most emotional impact. If they still hold the same feeling, these are the items that will determine your purpose and goals for 2010.
Next prioritize your goals and then set given timelines for your goals and a plan as to how you are going to get there. Such as spending more time with the grandchildren, taking a long extended vacation or writing a poem. They are your goals and yours to plan.
Finally, do a little task that you put on your list, that will help you accomplish your goals. Following this strategy for goal setting, you will not only have short-range goals which you can do consistently, but a frame work to accomplish your larger goals in life.
