How to Set Achievable Goals for 2016

Top-level athletes, successful business-people and achievers in all fields set goals.  Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation.  It focuses your acquisition of knowledge, and helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your life. 

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals.  You will also see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. This will raise our self-confidence as you recognize your own ability and competence in achieving the goals you have set! 

Here are a few tips of how to begin setting your achievable goals for 2016:

1. Create the “big picture” of your goals. These are big 10 year goals that you would like to achieve. Examples of these areas could be:

• Career 
• Health 
• Financial 
• Spiritual 
• Educational 
• Public Service 

2. Break-down these goals into smaller and smaller targets that you must hit in order to reach your lifetime goals. Breaking down your long-term goals into shorter achievable goals will ensure that you allow yourself to not only see progress but actually achieve the 10 year goal.

For example, if you choose to save a certain amount of money over the next 10 years. You need to break this down into monthly or quarterly savings amounts over the next 10 years. Seeing your savings account increase each month or quarter will let you realize your progress with each deposit.

3. Set systems in place to remind yourself when and where you are to act on your goals. If you have weekly weight-loss goals or exercise goals then set calendar entries or physically write down your work-outs for each week. Putting your goals to pen or electronic calendar entry will increase your chances of actually completing the tasks.
