Thank you for the response to my last article where I aimed to help you take more control back of your diary. I am convinced most people can take significant strides to move in the direction of creating a high performance diary. Then it is about discipline, being clear what you say โyesโ and โnoโ too, along with the ability to prioritise effectively.
๐Letโs all prioritise around the achievement of our goals!!
๐I reworked my 10 steps to goal success today, so here you go:
1) Write out your goal - repeat this step at least once per day. โ๏ธ๐ฆ โ๏ธ
2) Challenge yourself:
How committed are you to achieving this goal?
Have I been aspirational and bold enough?
Have I challenged my self-limiting beliefs?
3) Share your goal to create accountability:
With your winning circle.
With your coach and mentors.
Go public - post your goals on social media!
Update your accountability partners regularly (a sub-set of the above?).
Embrace their feedback and challenges.
4) Create a process to break your goal down:
Use the GiFT631 1+3+6 process.
Go big/SMUUT in terms of the 1.ย
Set 3 sub-goals or milestones.
Create your 6 next best actions.
Take the first one.
Then the next one - be consistent!
5) Create some visual representations of your goal:
Vision board.
Screensavers.
Other visual reminders - place them where you see them frequently.
Visualise - see yourself achieving your goal.
6) Pick a song that links to the goal (or create a playlist). ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ตย
7) Schedule (time-block) time to focus on the goal:
Make sure it is when your energy is great.
Avoid interruptions or disruption.
Make sure your phone/notifications are switched off or on silent.
8) Debrief on your actions to find improvement:
Analyse the root cause of success and disappointment.
Make adjustments to accelerate your progress.
9) Set clear milestones and celebration points. ๐๐ฆ ๐
10) Start!
Take immediate action.
Be consistent in taking goal focused actions.
Remove any downhill habits that prevent you being at your best/stop you focusing on your goal.
๐Let me have your improvements/additions/thoughts so we can all benefit and learn from your wisdom.
