Four rules in order to set yourself up for success

 


Have you been thinking about what you want to be doing in five years? Are you sure what is actually your main target at work? You need to set targets if you want to succeed. You lack concentration and direction without deadlines. Setting goals not only helps you to take charge of the course of your life; it also gives you a benchmark to determine whether you are actually succeeding.

 

However, you need to know how to set your goals in order to achieve them.

1. Set Goals That Motivate You

It is crucial that they inspire you when you set goals for yourself: this means making sure they are important to you, and that there is value in achieving them. If you have no interest in the result or given the wider picture, they are insignificant, then the chances of you putting in the job to make them happen are slim. Motivation is critical to achieving targets.

 

 

2. Set SMART goals

 

You've probably already heard about SMART targets. But can you apply the law at all times? The simple fact is that they should be built to be SMART for targets to be powerful. There are several variations of what SMART stands for, but this is the essence: priorities should be:

     Specific.

     Measurable.

     Attainable.

     Relevant.

     Time-Bound.

3. Set Goals in Writing

It is made concrete and tangible by the actual act of writing down a target. You don't have any reasons to forget about it. Use the word "will" when you write, instead of "would like to" or "might."

 

Post your priorities in visible ways to remind yourself of what you want to do every day. Placed them as a daily reminder on your walls, desk, computer monitor, bathroom mirror, or refrigerator.

 

 

 


4. Make a Plan of Action

 

In the phase of objective setting, this step is sometimes skipped. You get so focused on the result that you fail to prepare all the steps along the way that are needed. You will know that you are making progress towards your ultimate objective by writing out the individual steps, and then crossing each one off when you finish it. If your purpose is large and challenging, or long-term, this is particularly relevant.
