Pursue your goal - Part3

Set your shinning star

Just like a sailor referrers to the pole star, you first have to determine a goal: a concrete, clear result to achieve.

This will be your reference: everytime you feel like you're loosing track, come back to it.

Establish a strategy
There you go. You know what you are aiming for. You now have to stake out the path with milestones: they are those intermediate objectives that will help you stay focused and measure, as you go, your achievement.

Each step must be a clear objective: a piece of achievement in a limited time. Breaking down your goal into smaller chunks, will make you step back to have a full sight on the big picture.

You will then be able to consider diverse tactics to reach out at the same goal; and sometimes short cuts! That will help you imagine different possibilities and open the door on change on the way.

The main point is to have a pragmatic vision of what you need to do and the concrete actions that are to take.

So, you will be less likely to feel overwhelmed.

Methodology
What I do:

1. to keep my goal(s) in mind:

listing those long term goals on a label on my mirror.

    2.  organise my work

- listing the intermediate objectives at the beginning of the week
- prioritise them in regards to my final goal
- everyday I take only 3 TASKS that I want to be achieved by the end of the day. You'll be surprised as hard it is to actually do it!
