How do productivity and goals intertwine? There are so many aspects in which your goals can either hinder or enhance your productivity! As of right now I am a doing one of my daily goals (writing a daily blog post).
So, to be more productive, goals are a must. Let’s break down how I write my goals.
First I do it in list form.
Secondly, I write two styles of goals, one vague and one precise. Any goal that is vague is something I want to do but haven’t put much thought or energy into it. Precise goals are goals that have the steps included to achieve them. Examples:
1) Go to UK. ( Vague Goal, no steps, no measurability, no end date.)
2) I have 500 followers on Google + on Dec 29th 2013.
- Follow share, like, comment guidelines.
- Respond to any mentions
- Engage in HOA chats
- Join congruent communities
- If its Dec 28th think of creating or joining a circle share (to me circle shares are a quick and easy way to find people but not everyone in them is going to focused on your content)
(These are actual goals of mine and how I set them up from what’s most important to least)
If some reason you don’t hit the goal in the target time frame extend out the deadline. Just do not put that extension in your how to achieve list. I repeat DO NOT PUT THE EXTENSION IN YOUR HOW TO LIST. The second you do so you allow yourself a get out of jail free card. You need to hold yourself accountable. I am making myself accountable to you just by posting this.
What is your plan for productivity? Let me and my readers know by posting in the comments below.
