Let’s face it we don’t always reach our goals and that's okay we can easily transition our goals to next month. However, analyzing them to be more successful in the new month will be beneficial.
Do you need to focus on a system instead of a goal?
Maybe you need to focus on a system instead of goals. Yes, reaching a goal feels great, but only momentarily. And what do you do next? Set another goal?. Goal setting makes you feel like a failure until you accomplish it. And then, the method repeats itself. Being in a state of constant pre-success failure can get exhausting after a while. If you do something everyday, it is a system.
What is a Goal
If you’re waiting to achieve it some day in the future, it is a goal.
What is a System
A system is something that you do regularly, that increases your odds of success. Systems have no deadlines , and they make you feel better every time you do them. You are moving in the right direction, after all. Hence, they are more sustainable.
Break down your long-term goals
Having your long-term goals in mind gives you control when you set your goals for the week. However, it would help if you separated these goals into more manageable chunks.
Make sure your goals are measurable:
We’ve all heard that goals should be measurable, but sometimes we lose sight of what that means. Be vigilant for goals that sound vague or aspirational. For example, “Consistently work on my blog,” can seem like a good goal at first. But after thinking about it, you’ll realize that “consistent work” can mean a lot of different things
Take Action
Once you have planned out your goal, you cannot achieve it by just setting it you need to actually take the steps toward it. Every step that you take should lead to another until you finish your goal.
Revisit
You need to want to complete your goal and that means keeping motivation high. Consider evaluating your progress once a week or month etc. Once you see how close the finish line is, you’ll feel more motivated to push through to the end. If you are struggling to meet milestones then make necessary adjustments and keep going.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you don’t reach all of your goals, just having them written down can provide a deeper sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. I hope this helps you set and reach meaningful goals.
Keep on Creating & Best of luck on your content journey!
