We are 118 days away from Christmas and 124 days until New Year’s Eve!
Why is this important? It means
there are only 124 days to finish 2018 goals.
Actually, less than that because once December 1st arrives we
start participating in the many festive Christmas activities and our goals are
often forgotten. So, there are about 94 days
to complete 2018 goals!
To recalibrate after a fun and exciting summer, this is a great time
to start thinking about what goals/projects/tasks to complete in the fall of
2018 and create an action plan. Here are
5 easy steps to follow:
ü
FOCUS - Take time to determine what to focus
on for the rest of 2018. Review goals
and create a list of tasks/projects/activities that are the most important or
will have the most impact on long terms dreams.
Or maybe something happened over the summer that has changed 2018 goals and
focusing on that is most important.
ü
PRIORITIZE – Summer is
wonderful, but it also is a time when other things become priority over
completing goals. Now is a great time to
determine when to work on accomplishing goals.
To prioritize, here are a few questions to think about:
Ø When is the best time of day to schedule time to work on goals?
Ø What daily schedule needs to be established to accomplish 2018 goals?
Ø Does the alarm clock need to be set a little earlier to help find time
to accomplish 2018 goals?
Ø What does a productive morning and evening routine need to be to
assist in completing 2018 goals?
ü
CHALLENGES – What challenges
in the next three months could arise that would prohibit accomplishing 2018
goals? Is there anything that can be
done now to help prevent or prepare to handle those obstacles?
ü
CREATE ACTION PLAN – Mark Twain said:
The
secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By creating an action plan, a process was
established to determine what is important, tasks were created to help work towards
accomplishing the tasks, potential obstacles were considered and prepared for
and it is now time to finish strong!
ü ACCOUNTABILITY – Accountability partners will be a great resource in discussing
these various areas with.
CHALLENGE: Start
creating your action plan to finish 2018 strong and complete your goals.
