Goal Orientation

Setting goals can be stressful-- staying on track even more so.  But without goals, how can you be sure that what you want is what you'll get?  Set goals for your future self.  Make them attainable. Surround yourself with people who hold you accountable.  

If you just want to have fun and make money, make that your goal!  Make sure you take steps to make that happen.  

I am in love with the Bullish Society and their Design Your Year workbook. You can find it here in the Bullish Store. I've completed this workbook for 2016 and for 2017.  I've also taken it further, with additional goal-setting activities. Can you tell I am a list-maker?

Laura Vanderkam, author of 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, is also an inspiration. One of my favorite activities from the book is to brain-dump ALL your life goals (from birth to death--even those you've already accomplished).  What do YOU want to accomplish in YOUR life?  Graduate high school, buy a house, visit Turkey, whatever!  It was eye-opening for me, and it helps me cut out those not-so-important things I've gotten myself into.  I even had my husband do it.  I separated the goals by years, and even by month!  I'm obsessed!  Not only does it help me prioritize, but it also helps me acknowledge priorities for him and support him in those goals.  

If you need more guidance or simple steps, take a look at Move Lifestyle's "How to Set Goals in 5 Simple Steps."

Good luck!
