It’s a great day outside. It rained all weekend but the weather outside looks beautiful. I can’t wait to go outside.

What is your plan for today? What is your plan for the week?

What are your goals for today? What are your goals for the week?

The first thing to do is to take a few minutes and think. Think about your goals. I like to write them down while I think. I don’t write them in any particular order I just want to capture my thoughts. After doing that for a bit, I like to stop and think on them some more. Which one of these activities is the most important? Is there anything from preventing me from making that goal my target for the week? Are there other goals I need to accomplish first to get that task?

I like to break goals down by small chunks like daily goals, and also weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals. You’ve got to have a lot of different goals. Why?

If you are working on a long term goal, you might want to break it down and give yourself some smaller goals to accomplish this week so you can feel some success. That’s why it is important to have some stuff you can make off your list while you work on those long term goals.

Try to keep on track. Try not to allow yourself to get sidetracked too much by other activities or goals that might seem more fun to work on. Maybe they are fun because they are easier to accomplish, however if they aren’t important activities then they are only serving to distract you from your bigger goals.

Today is the beginning of a new week.

What will you accomplish this week?
