So, here goes:
The key stones in any cairn are:
- Achievement
- Attitude
- Appreciation
- Accountability
- Alignment
- Action
Achievement: This month, I am trying a new technique to help me improve my goal setting so thought I would share it with you. The idea is simple: You write down a goal you want to achieve in a specific period of time on a card, that you carry with you all the time and read at least 3 times each day. (This is step 1 in Bob Proctor's SixMinutestoSuccess program). I am also writing down the benefit of the goal, reminding myself daily of why I want to achieve this goal!
Attitude: If you are like me, when you wrote down your goal, a little voice said "it cant be done, there is this obstacle and that obstacle". So... get your attitude aligned with success by writing down the obstacles and defining a realistic plan to get over or around them.
Appreciation: How will you celebrate when you achieve this goal? What do you have to be grateful for, right now, that is helping you achieve the goal?
Accountability: On a scale of 1-5 (1 is little to no accountability and 5 is you are 100% accountabile to yourself and others), how accountable are you for your actions and their results? What would it take to improve that?
As an aside, I have been doing pretty well at not writing to do lists and using the calender instead. I still have some work to do on getting more discplined about putting things in the calender, merging with the family calender each week, synching with my telephone.
Alignment: What are your key values in life? How aligned is your goal/actions with your values, work strategy?
Action: What actions do you commit to take to move towards your goal?
This works for both personal goals and work goals!
