Blog: Achieve your goals with the weekly goal planner!
Starting the week strong with ‘The weekly Planner’
Why do it the messy way when you have an easy way? Why run helter-skelter like a headless chicken having done a bit of this, a bit of that and nothing finished entirely?
It could be Sally or it could be you! We cannot emphasize the importance of working with a plan. A written down and well prioritized plan can let you have the edge you need to run the week smoothly.
Goals and plans to achieve them are and should form a very important part of your daily routine. It is very important to not lose sight of it. Whether they are long term goals or short-term goals, when you write them down you form an emotional connection and an intellectual engagement with them.
Now, what are the benefits of having a goal?
- Goals chart the course and give the necessary focus and direction required.
- Goal helps in quantifying our achievements and progress.
- Goals prevent indecision, delays and procrastination.
- Goals help in keeping the motivation up.
- Goals help in achieving what we intended and even more.
- Goals help in self-discovery and help us find out what we want in life.
There is something old fashioned and incredibly effective about writing things down and seeing it in front of you as tasks to be done. It keeps you on your toes. It gives definition to your schedule.
So, when you fill out your weekly planner, please remember that goals have to be:
- Clear and specific
- Realistic
- Have a specific timeline
- Quantifiable
- Written down
- Effort and performance based and less of outcome based
- Aligned with our values
- Rightly prioritized within your all-other life goals
- Owned and not copied
- Changed or given up without shame, regret or guilt if the situation demands it
