Tip – How To Clarify Your Goals

October 16, 2012 by Cena Block · 1 Comment

Goals give you a direction and help you spend your time constructively. Revise and adjust your goals on a regular basis. Priorities and goals change over time so, it’s important to review them monthly to assess where you are and where you’re going.

Here’s an interesting technique to try when you are attempting to clarify your current goals:

 

  1. Get a clean pad of sticky notes.
  2. Write each goal down – 1 per paper.
  3. Separate the goals into personal and business categories (I love using lots of wall space for this!)
  4. Ask yourself – “Is this goal important to me?” 
    If no – rip it off the wall and trash it.
    If YES – then keep it up there.
  5. Ask yourself: “Am I willing to take repeated action toward achieving this goal”
    If no – rip it off the wall and trash it.
    If YES – then keep it up there.
  6. Now comes the fun part… with each goal left sticking… make it grittier: Take yourself on. Define it, what you actually hope to achieve. How will you measure your success against this goal? How will you know you’ve achieved it? And the most critical question… BY WHEN would you like to achieve it?

This activity is fast and fun to do, and will really help you CLARIFY your goals, not just by getting more specific, but releasing those dead, has-been goals that may have been in your way, but which have no ‘teeth’ at this time.

About Cena Block

Welcome readers! If this is your first time visiting my blog, thank you for stopping by. I'm Cena and I work with high performers, professionals, and entrepreneurs with ADHD. If you're an entrepreneur or high- performing professional who is distracted, overwhelmed, and feeling lost in the shuffle, let's talk. As a Certified Productivity Coach (CPC-2020) and Certified Organizer Coach (COC-2017) and Productivity Consultant, I can help. I work with clients in 3 different ways: Coach, Consultant, and Productivity. Together we help you slow down, focus and get curious. Weekly coaching sessions help you recognize when your inner critic is in your way, and provide small steps forward. ADHD brains work differently than neurotypical brains. While freedom and flexibility energize you, routines, tracking, and systems help you calm down, cut the chaos, and provide the grounding your brain needs to be at its best. Working with a Certified ADHD Coach is essential. I can help you understand how your ADHD shows up. Together we grow your business and improve your career results while finding quality time for family, your passions and yourself!
