Day To Day Goal Setting

I wanted to share a little about writing down your day to day goals. My last blog entry was about keeping your goals to yourself and I still believe that! But you really do need to refresh your memory occasionally about the important things to you, otherwise you may become bogged down with day to day going’s on and forget what really matters.

I have a scrapbook in which I keep pictures of the life goals I want like a trip to Paris, a wardrobe full of really good quality clothes and my dream house. I don’t use this for my day to day goals as they would clutter up the vision for my life. Also day to day goals need constant rendering, you need to be able to add to goals and fully delete some that are just impractical or unnecessary.

I use my tasks function on my Outlook program for this. Seeing as a lot of my home business is based around my email program I can just flick through and add or delete them as I go.

Recently I was trying my hardest to study a network marketing cd full of great advice but the guy’s voice kept putting me to sleep right here at my computer, it was seriously taking me forever to get through it,

I pressed stop half way through the third session out of five and wrote on my goals, “Finish net marketing course” and each day when I found I had a break from emailing I would read through the list and find the easiest goals and try to achieve them, or at least work towards them a bit.

Yesterday after several stages of achievement I actually finished that cd! I didn’t need to celebrate completing that goal but the simple act of deleting the task felt so good! As the list gets smaller you start wondering what you might do if it got down to no tasks.

I never have no tasks in my list, there is always some little mundane thing that I’ve been putting off that needs doing, I even have on my list “put rubbish out” and “write letter to Grandparents” as it’s something I don’t need to do every day but just seeing it there means I’m more likely to do it in a timely manner.

Just so you know, it’s been years since I’ve written to my Grandparents but I always mean to! I just never get around to it! Hmmm!!! I might do that today lol!

Thanks for visiting my blog, I hope you take the time to add your thoughts to it and inspire me some more. I hope also that you can find some inspiration from what i have to say. I am always asking people to tell me their dreams, often in hearing what other people want from life we can expand our own boundaries and achieve more than what we had ever wished for in life.
