One way to find out is to write a daily "To do list". This "To do
list" will supplement your goal settings. It will simplify yours
steps towards achieving your long term goal(s).
You can write your "To do list" while having breakfast or perhaps
before going to bed the night before. TIP: Writing a list before you
go to bed not only will appease your mind for a good night sleep but
will also start your day with a purpose (this is the motivation
part!)
Example: The goal I will be working on for the next 3 weeks (it is
said that it takes that long to change a habit, good or bad!), will
be to regularly organize my home office (always a problem!).
This is the list I would write the night before (keeping in mind my
main goal)
Pick up dry cleaning
Renew house insurance
Phone Jim re: B-day party
Mail out monthly invoice
Archive file folder starting with letter A to C (if my goal would
have been to lose a few pounds, I might have written go for a 20
min. walk or jog etc.)
The more specific your daily list the greater you will achieve. Make
it achievable not unreachable, thus the daily "To do list", to break
down your goal into smaller steps. Keep it Simple yet Meaningful
till you reach your goal.
Always prioritize.
To finalized my "To do list", I like to enumerate the task in
priorities or by rationality. If I am going out I might as well do
everything on my list that requires driving. And you guessed, the
priority in this case, would be to archive my filing cabinet (this
in any case would have to be done in order for this "To do list" to
be successful). And if by the end of the day, you did not cross out
everything on your list, don't beat yourself up! You might have
wanted to do too many things in one day - Be flexible, adjust
accordingly. Write it down for the following day until it's crossed
out.
This useful technique will motivate you to stay focused on your
goal. You will also feel like you have achieved a part of your goal,
you will be thrilled and proud. Trust me.
