Goal Setting Tips

Step 4: Set a Deadline to achieve Your Goal
Having a deadline help you to plan your time, energy, efforts and concentration in a very systematic way. When you have a deadline set for yourself to finish a work, you will realize the rate of completion is very fast an accurate.

Take the following two situations for illustration; Situation 1, you have been assigned a job/task and you do not have a deadline to complete it. Situation 2: Same job is assigned to you with a realistic deadline and you finished it. Now realize which job you managed and finished better, in which job you enjoyed finishing… no need to say.. It's the second job for which you had a deadline.

It's a human nature, when you have a sense of urgency, you won't dare to waste any resources and put your best with a systematic planning to complete it on time. Deadline can always move you to take actions to achieve the task /job assigned.

Step 5: See your Goal with open eyes
As of now, your goal might be just a thought, whenever you seat and close your eyes you can see it, you can feel it. But now, see your goal with your open eyes. Open eyes? Yes open eyes. I want you to see your goal by open eyes. Write down your goal on paper and read it, see it, feel it.

Recall your school days, when you learnt your first rhyme in Nursery class. When you read and re-read a phrase the impression on the mind becomes deeper and deeper and chances are very less that you will ever forget those rhymes.

So to remember and feel your goal in front of you, please write it down on a paper and keep it on your table, or somewhere you can read easily and frequently.
