Description: Episode 18-  We've spent some time looking at goals. No, not football goals - life goals! We've gathered together 5 KEY actions for setting effective goals, plus ONE missing thing that most of the resource doesn't tell you.

You decide! Set a Time limit to when you want to achieve the goal by 3) Sharing your goal Two schools of thought on this, make them public, or keep them private. Here are two perspectives: Fact Company say make it public  Derek Sivers says keep them private 4) Break it down Be sure to split bigger goals into smaller steps Be clear on the NEXT step Make it something you can do within 24 hours 5) Plan Set yourself dates in the diary to review your progress AND to celebrate your success The one thing missing from most of the advice - WHY Why WHY? Never underestimate the power of stating the obvious 30 million people have given up smoking this way 5 whys according to iSixSigma 5 whys according to Toyota A version delivered from our kitchen table How you can make reviewing progress more satisfying Use a good planner to manage your progress - this is nice Action Day Academic Diary 17/18 The importance of being flexible - your goals don't have to be set in stone In fact if you set the wrong ones, and you've changed them, then the process works!
