Excuse me, do you happen to know what happened to January?
I don’t know about you, but for me, last month passed at a frighteningly brisk clip. Here we are, four days into February.
Have you written down your goals for 2011? If you haven’t, it’s not too late to start. Decide what you want to accomplish in terms of your business, social life, family life, fitness, education, plus any category I’ve missed–and work backwards. That is, write your yearly goals (by category, if you have a bunch of them,) and then break them down into:
- quarterly goals
- monthly goals
- weekly goals
- daily goals
That’s a whole lot of goal-writing, and a lot of to-do’s. But if you really want to make things happen this year, this is the process.
I’m all about goal setting, obviously, but I’m also about setting reasonable deadlines. With this in mind, I’d like to encourage you to choose One Big Thing to accomplish this month. It doesn’t need to be huge, but it should be something that you’ve been putting off for awhile, or even better, a goal that will move your business or personal life forward in a significant way.
So what’s it going to be? I’m going to put some new content on this site, something I meant to do before New Year’s. Does that sound like a good goal? It’s ok, but this is even better:
- I’m going to detail my Productivity Coaching services on this site, and
- I’m going to (finally) add my free, download-able offering for those who sign up for my newsletter / list.
Do you get the idea? The more specific the goal, the better your chances of actually doing it. And finally, declare what you’re going to do, as I just did. This will keep you accountable.
You better believe I’m going to get my One Big Thing done, since I just said I would. And if I don’t, please call me out.
So, who’s in? Declare your One Big Thing for February, and make it happen!
