Set the Table

Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. The bigger your goals and the clearer they are, the more excited you become about achieving them. The more you think about your goals, the greater become your inner drive and your desire to accomplish them.

NOTES

1. With written goals, you’ll be far more productive and efficient than people who just carry goals around in their heads. Use the space below to make a list of 10 goals you want to accomplish in the next year. Write your goals as though a year has already passed and they are now a reality. If you have trouble getting them down on your own, consider talking to your boss or a trusted confidant.

Goal 1: ____________________________

2. Review your list of 10 goals and select the one goal that, if you achieved it within 24 hours, would have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Write it down on the line provided. Set a deadline. Then make a list of every thing that you can think of that you can do to achieve that goal.

Finally, take action. Do something every day that moves you at least one step toward that goal.

3. Organize your list of activities by priority and sequence. Create a checklist, where each task appears in the order it needs to be done. Take some time to get this right—what needs to be done first and what can wait, what needs to be done before other activities can be completed. Then resolve to do something right now toward achieving your goal.
