Goals resetting
It’s my 38th birthday yesterday! Happy birthday to me! However, I’m not very happy as my short term was not achieved and overrun!
What should I do? I cannot continue to write down my daily goals and continue to set a Past-date as due date. I have to re-tune and r- look into this process and do a postmortem where did I do wrong.
Firstly, I re-look into the whole process:
- Setting an achievable goal
- Setting an achievable date
- Setting a goal which I really wanted
Looking back past 3 months, I wrote down my goals each day and reminded myself to gear each day towards it. However, many time, I’m distracted by many other things such as phone call, done up an “interesting” website, laying back watching TVs, finding excuses…
So how can I able to “ENSURE” I will do it right and strive towards my goals? I should instill some “pain” with it. What I mean is, I should document that what if I did not, I should …. though, this is not a very “positive-positive” thinking, but it does “encourage myself to work hard and to avoid the pain.
I remember listening to Anthony Robbin CD on how he help one of his clients to quit smoking… is to make his client smoke MORE! More till his client hated it so much and stopped by himself willingly.
Coincidentally, last weekend, on TV (yes, I’m watching, but it does inspire me) it showed a group of six youngsters set up their 1 year goal and and if they did not achieve it, they will eat “SHIT”. At end, they make it at the nick of time.
So, I must modify the strategy of daily goal setting:
- Make it known to public, so I shall not “private” my daily goal setting. I will publish it and make it viewable by all.
- I should instill some pain to myself, such as, running naked around my flat or publish an apology note to myself on newspaper…
Lets see how things go about in my new daily goal setting strategy!
