Goal Setting That Makes You WinHow frequently do you grade your sporting events, speeches, interviews, job evaluations, class assessments, and papers on a win-loss basis? You either succeeded, or you failed? You either won or you lost? Isn't this a miserable, pressure-filled way to live? Is there a more efficient way? Perhaps most damagingly, we entrust our pleasure and contentment with our performance to others. We request that they assess us regardless of how we performed. Without succumbing to societal pressure, we create enough pressure to rate ourselves positively ONLY if we win, get that A+, receive that raise, or get that standing ovation.
Consider what you want to do first, and then commit to it. Set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) objectives that inspire you, and write them down to make them feel real. Then, map down the actions you'll need to take to achieve your objective and cross them off as you go. Goal planning is a powerful technique for seeing your ideal future and driving yourself to make that vision a reality. You can focus your efforts more effectively if you know exactly what you want to achieve. You'll also see the diversions that may easily lead you wrong.
