The Best You in 2019
Good morning all,
I hope you had a great Christmas and got to see those that you don’t see that often. I am a huge quality time person and as you saw last week in my goals picture I did not have quality time with my family as much as I wanted to have.
This week lets do our goal planning for the next year. This is what I plan to do this week as well. I may even make my goals sheet look better, maybe frame it, who knows maybe paint them on a wall where I work out (if my wife will let me :) ).
For my new goals I will look at the same three questions that I reviewed how I did the year before:
1. Where did I do well and how can I push myself to do better the following year?
2. Where did I just suck at and how can I focus on that area if it is still important this year?
3. How can I make my goals better in terms of measurable for a win and time lines to get these goals accomplished?
If you have never sat down to write your goals down, I encourage you to do so. There are tons of formats out there, but I like the one that I used in the picture last week, because it gives you a great deal of areas to focus on. Also, don’t worry about what if I don’t accomplish something to the point that you never commit to goals. Having goals is great and sometimes you just don’t hit all of them.
Last week you can see where I was lacking and this year I want to make sure that I focus on relationships this year though because as you saw last week. Now that my book is written and in publishing, I am thinking about what goals I can work to achieve this year that capitalize on the goals that I achieved last year. I also want to push myself to grow even if I hit a goal because I am always pushing to improve.
Life is just much better when we are able to present a better representation of ourselves. What skill could you learn this year and by when that will help you improve at work, with your family, or with your community? Maybe don’t do a huge list your first time, but make the attempt at goal setting. You will be happy you did even if you hit just one or two of them.
Let’s take on 2019 with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind!
Sincerely,
