Our 31 Days of Goal-Setting continues today with a question that I very deliberately separated out from yesterday’s finance question: How are you doing in terms of your career and purpose?

Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 10
After answering today’s question, we’ll be about 1/3 of the way through 31 Days of Goal-Setting! How do you think things are going so far? Have you found these questions helpful?
We are still working on Part 2, which is all about aspects or areas of your life and how you think you’re doing. Today’s question is, How are you doing in terms of your finances and lifestyle?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 9
Continuing with our 31 Days of Goal-Setting, today we’re asking ourselves, How are you doing when it comes to your friendships, community, and other relationships?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 8
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?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 7
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?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 6
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?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 5
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?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 4
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?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 3
Day three of 31 Days of Goal-Setting! Today’s question is: What other goals did you set throughout 2015 and why?
Thirty-One Days of Goal Setting – Day 2
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?
