DOES YOUR GOAL SETTING EXERCISE SOLVE OR CREATE?

There is no doubt that some goals become redundant and are worthy to drop if significant new opportunities render the old goal irrelevant. The majority of good goals will however remain and so here are 5 “S” reasons to keep them and work hard with a clear focus to make them happen.

Seconds:

We often work out the “days” spent on a task but I often prefer to work out the minutes or seconds. The change of scale tricks my brain into considering how much time I have already put into a task and helps me reflect how far I have progressed in the goal already. The goal was set with a purpose and it requires dedicated time to make it happen.

Significance: When you went through the goal setting process, what did you decide are going to be the rewards of doing the workout every day? If the goal was set to create an increase in customer retention of 8% or spend an extra hour a week learning, then remind yourself and the business of the significance of not reaching the goal. Is it still worth it?

Serious or Symbolic? When you set the goal, were the intent more symbolic or was it a serious commitment? If you only “kind of” want to accomplish a goal, that I suggest this goal is not the goal for you. The goals that you pursue need to be the ones that you have a passion for and want to accomplish them as soon as possible.

Synergy: The path of improvement can often bring about a none linear change and results. Imagine becoming 10% faster at typing, 20% faster at reading and 10% more knowledgeable about a subject. The output result will be significantly greater than each step improvement; the combined effects can deliver exponential results.

There are some cases that highlight a goal is not worth retaining, Some goals may create a drop in motivation in the short and medium term as you challenge habits, behaviors, time management and stretch your comfort zones. I argue that these are the very best reasons to keep your goal and are probably amongst the reasons why you created it in the first place.
