Goal setting for a new year
As we all know it is very important for those who succeed year after year in any business to have well defined written goals. We all have attended the workshops and sales seminars stressing this very point. Problem is, an overwhelming majority of us start out with such good intentions and then we let life get in the way. I am one of the worst offenders. Oddly enough as I go through the goals I set last year for this, there are a few things on the list that I did accomplish and of course a bunch that I did not.
I, like many others, have a tendency to make the list, look it over, oh…. say through the end of January and then poof I get busy and let life take over. This year I vow one more time to look at my goals at least once a week, okay once a month, yea right, how about once a quarter?
STOP! to be truly successful we need to look at our goals on a consistent basis and reorganize them as life changes or take some goals out of the picture. You know, the ones that really weren’t goals in the first place but you wrote them down anyway. So, review your goals, mark down what progress you have made in attaining them and keep moving forward.
Below is a website that I found to be helpful and believe me there are a million sites to help you with this task. Some want you to join or buy something and some are just helpful. So now is the perfect time to look at your goals, write them down and make next year a much more productive and Happy year.
Happy Goal Setting.

Take that list of goals, laminate it, and stick to your bathroom mirror, or shower wall. That way every morning when you are preparing to start your day, you have a fresh reminder of what is important to you.
We haven’t talked in awhile and you seem to have forgotten that you need to choose your words carefully.
If you’d like a tool for setting your goals, you can use this web application:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
Dan,
Thank you for the recommendation, this application is very cool.
