A good idea or example is to write three goals in the following categories. Remember to make your goal statements bite size enough that you can achieve them, yet big enough that you have to work toward accomplishing them!
Family Goals:
1.
2.
3.
(Good concrete examples are: Spend 30 minutes per day quality time with each person. Schedule a 7 day vacation. etc.)
Educational Goals:
1.
2.
3.
Work/Career Goals:
1.
2.
3.
Personal Goals:
1.
2.
3.
List the goals above in order of priority by assigning them to either A (high priority) or B (low priority). Do the same for the category B priorities!
I realize that most of us set goals at the beginning of each new year. Some of us just mull them over in our head while others list them out. By June or July, you may have put aside some of those goals or decided that they are not achievable and have given up on the idea of accomplishing them. Before the holiday rush sets in, it is a good time to reflect upon our priorities and look at our goals and perhaps break them down into smaller bites so that we can accomplish them in the new year, even if it requires taking baby steps.
