If you are unhappy with your current level of productivity at work or your effectiveness as a parent or household manager, allow me to suggest to you that tracking your achievements will turn your life around. Without goals and priorities, you may make it through each day and even make a little progress here and there.<\/p>\n

Along with a sense of achievement comes great motivation to accomplish more great things, as well as an ease in getting them accomplished. The beginning of this self help success starts with setting goals.<\/p>\n

To address goal setting for a wider audience, let’s address the misconception that setting goals is just for your career.<\/p>\n

This is unfortunate because at home, where we play the roles of spouse, parent, and household manager, organization and achievement are key to all other successes. To those folks I recommend to use the term “life list” instead. When it is time to put pen to paper, if you prefer, scribble “LIFE LIST” at the top of yours. Maybe even put some doodles around it. Whatever makes you excited to continue.<\/p>\n

Your goal setting starts with brainstorming. Carve out a quiet time and place to contemplate what is important to you and what you want to achieve in your life today, as well as in the distant future. Open your mind to include your wildest dreams, regardless of cost or plausibility at the moment. From this page, draw your goals, dreams and desires and start to prioritize them.<\/p>\n

Organize your goals in terms of short and long term. A short term goal might be to make it a habit to wake up one hour earlier every day to increase production at work or add that exercise routine.<\/p>\n

A long term goal might be to buy a bigger house or become debt free. Take it a step further and in addition to “short term” and “long term”, create your own categories so that every thing that came from your brainstorm has a heading under which to sit.<\/p>\n

You will be surprised at how attainable some of the most far fetched ideas become as you start to chart your successes and become more productive.<\/p>\n
