Embarking on the journey of setting smart daily goals can be transformative. It's about harnessing the power of intention, focus, and consistency. Let's delve into the art of crafting goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
To achieve great things, we must constantly question how we spend our time and energy
What are you doing in this moment?
- The simple act of becoming more aware of where your attention is helps you to focus it where you want it to be – on creating something great.
- Too often we get distracted or get caught in unimportant tasks – coming back to the moment often will help
- Set aside at least one time period during the day to focus without interruption – to do something important but not urgent – to write something, reflect, strategize, imagine, work on a longer term project.
Be intentional
Everything you do or say should move the ball forward toward your goal. If it doesn’t, it is liable to waste precious energy and get you off track
- Before you allocate time to any task, question your intended outcome
- When you speak, are you “content-making” or simply “commentating”?
Hard focus is also a muscle that requires training
To ignore this muscle and continue to work with your email open and Facebook refreshing, thinking up excuse after excuse why this connection is “crucial” for your job, makes you a wannabe athlete who refuses to hit the weight room
- How do you manage your energy day-to-day?
