It’s day eight of our 31 Days of Goal-Setting! As a reminder, we’ve moved on to Part Two, which is about considering different categories of potential goals – which is just another way of saying, considering the different aspects of our lives – and asking ourselves how we’re doing compared with what we’d like to be accomplishing.
Today’s question is, How are you doing when it comes to your family and/or intimate relationships?
We’re on to part two of our 31 Days of Goal-Setting! Part Two is all about Considering Goal Categories. (Note: I think I may have run across the explicit idea of goal categories in You, Only Better, and the categories I’m using are based on, though not identical to, the categories from that book.)
Considering goals in terms of different areas of one’s life is a simple but powerful part of goal-setting. For one thing, the process includes evaluating one’s life and which areas might be improved. For another, it generally leads to more balanced goal-setting overall.
For example, how many people have you seen who list eight or ten exercise or physical-based New Year’s Resolutions and absolutely nothing else? Some of these people are very focused on fitness achievement, and that’s fine. Others aren’t, but they are working under the assumption that that’s just how NYR’s work. (Trust me, I used to be one of them.
That said, health is a legitimate aspect of one’s life. So hey, let’s start with the obvious. Today’s question is: How are you doing when it comes to your health?
This is the last day of Part 1: Reflecting on Previous Goals for our 31 Days of Goal-Setting challenge. Yesterday we looked at the unspoken, almost unconscious goals that we set for ourselves. Today, we ask: How have you been doing with these goals? Why do you think you failed or succeeded?
We’re already on day five of the 31 Days of Goal-Setting challenge! Sick about thinking of last year’s goals yet? We’ve got one last round to go. Today, let’s think about: What unspoken/unwritten goals do you have for yourself? And why do you have them?
On the fourth day of the 31 Days of Goal-Setting challenge, we are reflecting on yesterday’s list of goals we set throughout the year for ourselves and asking: How did you do with those goals? Why do you think you failed or succeeded?
Day three of 31 Days of Goal-Setting! Today’s question is: What other goals did you set throughout 2015 and why?
The continuing adventures of 31 Days of Goal Setting! Yesterday, we thought about our 2015 New Year’s Resolutions and why we set them. Today, we ask: How did you do with your NYRs? Why do you think you failed or succeeded?
The question for the first day of my little homegrown 31 Days of Goal Setting is: What New Year’s Resolutions did you set for 2015 and why?
(Sorry it’s been so quiet around here; I had some health issues to deal with and then got caught up in NaNo.)
I’m kind of cheating here, since this blog is really a self-help book review blog. But, I want to talk about goals. And since we are inching ever closer towards 2016, why not talk about that behemoth of goal-setting, New Year’s Resolutions?
This is the first entry of a series that I’m planning on posting throughout December.
Why do some leaders gain a following and others don’t make a lasting impact? Why do many companies struggle to achieve and maintain success, while a few achieve astonishing customer loyalty and profitability? In Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, Simon Sinek argues that long-term success comes from a simple yet powerful concept – start with WHY.
