Short-term goals in life and work: examples. Setting and achieving goals

In Chapter 1 we discussed the meaning of discipline. And now I want to ask you to start applying this positive quality.

If you haven't done this yet, take out your notebook or diary. I want to transform you from an observer (reader) into a participant (writer).

The type of homework you have to do is somewhat unusual, since you will have to do it all your life. The theme of the assignment is goals, and as you will soon realize, goals will be something you do throughout your life - they will constantly evolve and constantly change.

Why should you do this work? Because by doing it, you will take the first steps towards creating the lifestyle that you have always dreamed of, but never believed that it could be a reality for you. So let's get started. The sooner you show discipline, the sooner you can enjoy the results. And once the results appear, I am sure that you will not regret at all that this required special work and discipline.

Long term goals

In your notebook or on a separate sheet of paper, write “Long-Term Goals.” Your task is to answer the question: “What do I actually want to achieve in the next year, two, and so on up to ten years?”

The key to performing this exercise effectively is to include least, if possible, period of time as possible larger number positions. The entire exercise should take you twelve to fifteen minutes. During this time, try to write up to fifty different positions, using the following six questions as guiding questions:

1. What do I want to do?

2. Who do I want to be?

3. What do I want to see?

4. What do I want to have?

5. Where do I want to go?

With these six questions in mind, answer the main question: “What do I actually want in the next period of my life from one year to ten years?” Give freedom to the flow of your thoughts. Don't try to detail anything, you'll do that later. For example, if you want a gray Mercedes 380 L with a blue interior, simply write “380” and move on to the next item.

After you make your list, look at what you wrote.

Then put the number of years you think it will take you to achieve or complete each item on your list. If you think you can complete some items in a year, then write the number “1”. To achieve the following goals, you will need, in your opinion, approximately three years, write the number “Z”. In your opinion, you will need five years to achieve the following goals, write “5”. And finally, next to those goals that you estimate will take ten years to complete, you write “10.”

Now make sure your goals are balanced. For example, if you see that you have many ten-year goals and very few one-year goals, this means that you are trying not to act today, but are postponing the deadlines for completing your goals.

On the other hand, if you have few long-term goals, then this means that you may not yet have decided what your long-term lifestyle should be.

The key here is to create a balance between short-term and long-term goals. (We'll look at true short-term goals a little later. These are goals that take less than a year to achieve.)

Are you somewhat discouraged by the idea of ​​having too many goals? Or are you the type of person who feels more comfortable if they are focused on one goal in this moment time?

In fact, there is an important reason for the need to set multiple goals with different terms implementation. Without many goals various types You may fall victim to the same situation that some of our first Apollo astronauts found themselves in.

Some of them returned from flying to the Moon with deep emotional problems. Why? If you visited the Moon, where else could you go? After years of training, imagining, and anticipation, the mission to the moon—the greatest moment of their lives—was accomplished. And suddenly it turned out to be the end of them, the finish line of their life’s work, and depression set in.

As a result of this experience, subsequent astronauts continued to train for other major projects "to keep the fire going" after their space flights.

Happiness is an elusive concept. It seems that our The best way enjoying life means, having achieved one goal, immediately starting work to achieve the next goal. It is dangerous to sit too long at the table of success. The only way to enjoy the next dish is to stay healthy and hungry.

Once you have reviewed and balanced your list, select four goals from each time category (one year, three years, five years, ten years) that seem most important to you. Now you have sixteen goals. For each, write a short paragraph including the following:

1. A detailed description of what you want. For example, if it is a material object, then write what its height, length, how much it costs, what model, color, etc. On the other hand, if it is a position or business that you want to start, then give a detailed description of the job, including salary, title, budget you have, number of employees, etc.

2. State the reason why you want to achieve or complete the item described. Here you will see whether you really want this, or just a passing fantasy. If you cannot identify a clear and compelling reason why you want it, then you will have to classify it as a whim rather than a true goal and replace it with something else.

You see that what you want is only a powerful motivator if there is a real reason behind it. You may find that some goals that you once considered important no longer inspire you, simply because you are unable to find a good enough reason to strive for them. This is good. The need for such justification forces you to reflect, clarify and revise your goals. And behind all this is being revised general moment: It helps you plan your future.

Once you have identified your sixteen goals, write them down on a separate piece of paper or write them down in a permanent journal and carry them with you always to ensure that they are still important to you and you are taking active steps towards achieving them. As you may have noticed, goal setting is not a one-time task with specific results. On the contrary, it is a continuous process that lasts a lifetime.

Short term goals

I define short-term goals as those goals that take anywhere from one day to one year to achieve. And although in their necessity these goals are more modest than long-term goals, they are of equal importance in their importance. The ship's captain may continue his long-distance course to his final destination, but throughout the journey there are many nearby destinations that must be reached for the voyage to be successful.

In this case, just as in the case of a sea voyage, short-term goals should be related to your long-term achievements. But goals that are achievable in the foreseeable future have a clearly tangible advantage. I call these types of goals “confidence builders” because achieving them gives you the confidence to keep going. So, if you work hard, pull late nights, and complete some special short-term task, then you can enjoy your “victory” and feel inspired to continue your journey.

That's why I insist that you also write down your short-term projects in a notebook or journal. How you arrange this is up to you. You can, for example, arrange them according to the time required to complete them: days, weeks, months. Or you can write them down as sub-points to your long-term goals.

A certain pleasure of having such a list is the ability to tick boxes. And when you check off an item as completed, take the time to celebrate your achievement. This celebration can be a moment of good reflection if you have completed a small task, or it can be a big reward when the achievement is worth it. Anyway really take time to enjoy your victories. This will only inspire you to do even more.

But just as I urge you to taste the heady wine of success, I must also give you another less popular recommendation: MAKE LOSS PAINLESS.

You see that there are two types of experiences that determine our growth: the joy of victory and the pain of loss. And if you yourself set your sights on completing a project, but instead you wasted your time, then find ways to compensate for the losses due to your laziness. Be accountable for both positive and negative behavior.

Also, surround yourself with people who don't want to put up with your usual bullshit. Don't join a convenient company. Go where the expectations are high, where the need for accomplishment is high. It is also part of your overall strategy for achieving wealth and happiness.

Instability

I want you to succeed! That's why I'm a little worried. I know that most of the people who read these pages will not set and improve their goals with all the persistence. Why? Because it is work that requires a lot of time and thought. It's ironic that when many people who work hard day in and day out in a job they often dislike are asked to take the time to plan for their own future, they respond, "I don't have time." They accept that their future will remain uncertain.

I know that majority people will not make clear plans, but you should not become part of this majority. You shouldn't walk around with your fingers crossed and a worried expression on your face. In hope, that things will get better.

Whether you realize it or not, you are one of the players in the game of life right now. And believe me, if you don't have goals that you need to achieve, then you will never play an exciting game. Nobody will pay good money to watch a game in which no one is leading.

“Nice guy” says: “If you work where I work, then you come home late. All you have to do is eat a little, watch a little TV to relax and go to bed. You won't be able to sit until midnight and plan, to plan, TO PLAN". And this comes from a man who is behind on his car payments. He's a good worker, a hard worker, sincere worker.

But, friends, I have discovered that you can be sincere and work hard all your life and still end up broke and in debt. You must become more than just being good worker. You must become more than just a sincere worker. You have to become a good planner, a good goal setter.

If you have written down your goals, it means that you have made a commitment to further growth, it means that your intentions are serious. And for your business to improve, you need to become serious. You don't have to become gloomy, but you really you need to get serious. After all, every person hopes that his affairs will go better. But hope that is not backed up by clear planning can actually cause you suffering. As the Bible says, “long unfulfilled hope makes the soul suffer.” I know this suffering.

I used to suffer from a disease known as passive hope. This is bad. The only thing worse than passive hope is happy passive hope. This is when a person is fifty years old and broke, but still smiles and hopes. Now this is really Badly. So, get serious. Write down your goals on paper. My advice to you is dictated by my own experience.

Time management for modern people has turned into a real art, which not everyone can master. To achieve success in career and personal life, a person has to schedule his daily routine minute by minute.

In the life of an active and purposeful person, every second is precious; twenty-four hours in a day are not enough for him to carry out the planned set of activities for the day. When setting and achieving short-term goals, does a person remember to stop for a second and ask himself: “Am I really doing what I want? Are these my desires, needs and goals?

Target– a model of the desired result in the future. Achievement long term goal in the future is determined within the limits of one to ten years, short term goal limited to a period of time from several hours to several months. Setting a long-term goal is the basis for planning the future.

A goal allows you to understand, accurately anticipate your desire, formulate it clearly and specifically, indicating the time and other costs that will be required to achieve what is planned.

It is human nature to dream, to want to become better, to achieve great results, certain successes. But a dream that does not turn into a goal has less chance of coming true.

Setting a goal

In order to turn a dream into a goal, you need to ask the five questions below and write down the answers on a piece of paper:

  1. What exactly is the goal?

The goal should be as specific as possible, clear in definition, you need to describe it to the smallest detail. For example, if a person wants to succeed at work, he must understand what specific position, with what work schedule, responsibilities, as well as wages, he wants to have.

  1. How will it be possible to understand that the goal has been achieved?

The goal must be measurable, it is necessary to describe the criteria by which it will be easy to understand that the desired has become valid. In the example of work, indicators of appointment to a position could be: a decree on appointment to a new position, the first day of work, a salary increase.

  1. Is the goal achievable?

Here you need to realistically assess the possibility of achieving the goal. Long term goal always difficult, but it must be objectively achievable, classified as a possible, not a fantastic future.

  1. What resources need to be used?

To achieve the goal you will have to spend a certain amount of moral, material, and physical effort. For the example under consideration, suitable criteria would be: advanced training (if there is not enough knowledge to occupy the desired position), increased labor productivity, accumulation of sufficient work experience, and so on.

  1. When will the goal be achieved?

The date is determined by a specific calendar date.

If you decided to get a new position in three years, you need to count exactly three years from today's date and record this number.

After comparing the answers to the questions, you need to write down the goal in the form of one or two sentences in the affirmative form.

Example of goal setting

For the example given, this would be the phrase: “I receive a position (indicate a specific position) on such and such a date, such and such a month and year (indicate a specific date) and begin to perform my duties. I earn (specify desired wages), my work schedule (indicate work hours).”

Competent goal setting allows you to understand Is this goal really, what does a person want, is it possible to achieve it, what needs to be done for this and whether the goal is worth the money and time needed to achieve it.

Many books have been written about goal setting. We offer you a small list of psychological literature:

  1. Yitzhak Pintosevich “Set goals! Find your goal and achieve it in 1 year”
  2. Heidi Grant Halvorson “The Psychology of Achievement. How to achieve your goals”
  3. Robert T. Kiyosaki “Goals and Decisions”
  4. Stephen R. Covey, Steve Johnson “Focus: Achieving Priority Goals”
  5. Ross Petras, Catherine Petras “A goal seems unattainable until it is achieved. Motivation for dreamers and creators”
  6. Dmitry Boldogoev, Svetlana Ivanova “Personal efficiency at 100%: Drop the ballast, find yourself, achieve the goal”
  7. Richard Templar “Rules for achieving goals. How to get what you want"

It is human nature to set goals. And this is good, since achievements, changes in oneself and one’s life, as well as the use of own strength in the right direction. But any goals are divided into short-term and long-term. Long-term goals imply the meaning of life: why a person lives in this world. This is a very global goal setting, but it requires a more or less clear picture of how a person wants to see himself in his old age: how he lives, where he lives, what kind of house he has, what kind of family he has, what he does, etc.

Short-term goals are goals for the next month, year, two or five. They seem to break your big goal into several components, the achievement of which will lead to the desired result. The main criteria for this goal should be specificity and an objective assessment of one’s own capabilities. For example, it would not be objective to set such a goal as increasing your own income by four times from your current one within two years if you remain in the same job where you are currently working. The goal is very good, but not achievable in such a short period of time, or in this company where you are now.

Therefore, it should be remembered that it is advisable to set long-term goals to the maximum, “sky-high”, above the most imaginable possibilities. But short-term goals must be truly achievable and objective.

Short-term goals are derived from long-term goals and are a specification and detailing of long-term goals. They are subordinate to them and determine the activities of the organization in the short term. Short-term goals set milestones on the way to achieving long-term goals. It is through achieving short-term goals that an organization moves step by step towards achieving its long-term goals.

Short-term goals follow from long-term ones and are specifications and details of long-term goals. They are subordinate to them and determine the activities of the organization in the short term. Short-term goals set milestones on the way to achieving long-term goals. It is through achieving short-term goals that an organization moves step by step towards achieving its long-term goals.

Short-term goals (usually within 1 year), tasks or objectives represent the results expected to be achieved within the planning period. They are milestones on the way to achieving long-term goals.

Short-term goals are the immediate goals of the organization aimed at improving the organization’s activities.

Short-term goals involve achieving immediate or near-term results. They indicate the speed at which management believes the organization should grow and the level of performance that should be achieved over the next two or three periods. Short-term goals can be similar to long-term goals if the organization is already operating at its planned long-term level. For example, if a company with an ongoing goal of 15% annual profit growth has already achieved this goal, then that company's long-term and short-term profit goals will coincide. Most difficult situations, associated with a discrepancy between short-term and long-term goals, arise when managers strive to increase the organization's effectiveness and are unable to achieve a long-term goal within one year. Short-term goals in such a situation should serve as stepping stones, or guidelines.

Short-term goals focus the company on achieving the fastest results. In practice, this means that the development of the enterprise in a strictly chosen direction corresponds to such goals. In order to smooth out these contradictions, the following is necessary: ​​in a standard economic and technological environment, concentrate efforts on finding opportunities for the most rational continuation of existing (applied) technological processes, and in a non-standard environment it is necessary to understand how long these (existing) processes should be continued, what to replace them with and at what point.

The shorter-term goals to be achieved in 1995 were not clearly stated at the January meeting.

Short-term goals are to create efficient mass production of computer-based security systems, create a developed, international distribution network, and maintain the current leading position in the field. scientific research and developments.

These are short-term goals (usually achievable within one year) that are measurable, specific, and stated in great detail.

The means of achieving short-term goals is politics. It includes the rules and procedures established in an organization to support the efforts of its employees to achieve planned objectives. Policy answers the question: how tasks should be accomplished. An example of a policy in an organization would be establishing flexible working hours to improve work efficiency.

When forming short-term goals for achieving certain indicators according to the volume and time parameters of annual and operational calendar planning (OCP), the previous period and its achievements are taken as a basis, but not the indicators set as a result of strategic planning of the enterprise.


As one of its short-term goals, the company aims to reduce bank overdraft by 10% over the next financial year. Using the algorithm shown in Fig. 13.1, describe how feedforward and feedback control should be used in this situation.

In continuation of our conversation about life without haste (see article) - a new trend of our era, a new look at your life, I want to say this.

The idea of ​​“slow living” does not mean “doing nothing” while lying on the lawn. Against. Adherents of this lifestyle specifically choose a job that will NOT “take away” all their time, but only a small part of it. For what?

Yes, just in order to have time to do and try the most in your life. To have balance in life between work (business), personal life . To have more free time to communicate with family, to achieve your goals, to fulfill your desires. To make your dreams come true.

I was surprised that there were so few financial goals on this list. The first places are occupied by goals about travel, self-development, love and happiness. It's great that everything in the world more people stopped listening to stupid advice at training sessions personal growth that supposedly all people, without exception, must set inflated demands and goals for themselves and achieve them in order to become very rich. I think that such recommendations cause anxiety and do not bring happiness.

2. Why are goals needed in a person’s life (examples) and how can they change life?

There is, I would say, some kind of mysticism in this issue. Do you know what unites successful people who became happy because they did what they loved all their lives? They are united by a common quality inherent in all of them - determination and an irresistible desire to achieve their dreams or goals. All of them very early, even in childhood or adolescence, set themselves and wrote down a list of goals and did everything to achieve them.

An example is the life of John Goddard, a Guinness Book of Records holder, explorer and traveler, an outstanding anthropologist, holder of scientific degrees in anthropology and philosophy.

But don’t be embarrassed and compare yourself with this hero. Such people are the exception rather than the rule. It’s just that John Goddard’s example clearly shows how written goals help you live a more interesting and vibrant life.

How many goals should a person have? The more you write them on your list, the easier it will be for you to find your innermost desires and dreams, make them come true and become happy.

3. Which goals are more important, financial or goals of spiritual and personal growth?


This question is very similar to the question “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” Now I’ll explain why. Materialists will say that if you have money, you can easily realize all your dreams and achieve your goals. For example, start traveling around the world. To buy a house. Learn languages. Therefore, first you need to fulfill your financial goals - find a new job, build your own business, and the like.

For information: who are Materialists and Idealists. Materialists believe that matter is primary and gave rise to consciousness. Idealists, on the contrary, believe that consciousness is primary and it created matter. This contradiction is called by many the main question of philosophy.

But my grandmother always told me (without knowing it, she was an Idealist) that if God is in first place, then everything else will follow and will be in its place. She said: “You don’t have to wait for financial well-being to have a child. Because if God gives a child, he will also give for the child!”

Using logic, prudence, and pragmatism, it is difficult to understand this grandmother’s principle and even more difficult to apply it in life. Because it is difficult, impossible to explain it from a scientific, materialistic point of view.

But sayings and proverbs (I call them the quintessence of the centuries-old experience of our ancestors) seem to be trying to convey to us the knowledge and wisdom of previous generations.

This wisdom is based not on logic and pragmatism, but on observations of the connection between actions and events, both in the life of one person and entire generations:

  • Man proposes, but God disposes (Russian proverb)
  • Easy come easy go ( English proverb“What is easily gained is easily lost”)
  • What happens happens at the right time (Chinese proverb “Accidents are not accidental”)

List of proverbs different nations we can continue ad infinitum. But how can even these three proverbs of different nations be explained from the point of view of logic and materialism?

Based on these considerations and being an idealist, I compiled goals for myself in the following sequence: Spiritual improvement -> Personal growth and relationships -> Physical health -> Financial goals.

Spiritual improvement:

1. Don’t judge, watch your thoughts

2. Conquer your talkativeness, listen to others

3. Charity: transfer money monthly to those in need ( Orphanage, children's hospital, old neighbors)

4. Complete the house for parents, help parents

5. Help children until they get back on their feet

6. Do not interfere in other people's affairs unless they ask for advice.

7. Give alms to those asking for alms - do not pass by

8. Do not retell other people’s sins (Boorish sin)

9. Go to Temple for Sunday services at least 2 times a month

10. Do not store, but give unnecessary but good things to those in need

11. Forgive offenses

12. Fast not only on Lent, but also on Wednesdays and Fridays

13. Visit Jerusalem for Easter

Personal growth and relationships:

16. Get rid of your laziness, stop putting things off

18. Take your time, live in a slow-life style, leaving time for communication with your family, contemplation, reading and your hobbies

20. Learn to cook deliciously for family and friends, go to master classes

21. Learn to grow herbs, vegetables, fruits and flowers in your garden

22. Go to Latin American dancing with your husband

23. Learn to take professional photos

24. Improve English - watch movies and read books

25. Go on a spontaneous car trip with your husband without planning anything.

26. Learn to do daily cleaning for 15 minutes instead of general cleaning of the whole house.

27. Meet more often with children and friends, go to concerts, performances, exhibitions

28. Travel the world 2 times a year with your husband, children and friends

29. Go on a trip with your husband not for 2 weeks, but for several months to Thailand, India, Srilanka, Bali

30. Ride an elephant, swim with a dolphin, a huge turtle, a sea cow

31. Visit the Serengeti Park in Africa with your husband

32. Visit America with your husband

33. Take a cruise on a multi-deck ship with your husband

Physical health:

34. Get a massage periodically

35. Do exercises every day

36. Go to the sauna and pool once a month

37. Every evening - a brisk walk

38. Avoid harmful foods completely

39. Once a month – 3-day hunger strike

40. Lose 3 kg

41. Drink 1.5 liters of water per day

Financial goals:

42. Increase income from a vending enterprise - a network of payment terminals

43. Increase your monthly blogging income

44. Become a professional webmaster

46. ​​Raise your blog traffic to 3000 visitors per day

47. Make money on affiliate programs

50. Swap a gasoline car for an electric car

51. Organize the work of your projects in such a way as to receive passive income

52. Learn to save, open a savings account and replenish it monthly

You can, of course, write all your goals in any order. Actually, this is how they should be written. I divided them into 4 groups to make it clear that in life we ​​need to maintain a balance between goals for Business and Finance, Relationships, Health, and Spirituality. In general, I always write down all my tasks, goals, dreams in a row. Below in section 4 “How to make a list of your goals?” I will tell you about this in detail.

I gave my goals as an example only. They are different for everyone and change over time. For example, parenting goals are not on my list. This is because they have already been completed - our children have grown up and live independently.

4. How to make a list of your goals? 50 goals in a person's life list in the present tense

Working in large banks, on large IT projects, I completed many interesting trainings on psychology, motivation, stress management, time management, emotional intelligence, personal growth. At these trainings we were taught production techniques goals and intermediate tasks to achieve them.

But I especially liked this simple and effective technique:
  • You need to mentally “turn off your consciousness” and, without thinking, start writing by hand on clean slate paper all your desires, goals, tasks - big and small.
  • You need to write as much as possible, the main thing is to “don’t turn on your brain” and don’t stop.
  • Write down “today’s” problems, for example, “so that my son passes his test” or “take out the trash from the garage” or “buy for the new year live Christmas tree in a pot." And global ones, for example, “so that children choose professions they like”, “so that they successfully graduate from universities.”
  • Then break down your goals into short-term, medium-term and long-term. Also highlight the actual goals and what can be called tasks to achieve these goals.

By the way, I often came across this idea in the books of successful people, but did not attach any importance to it. They all say that it is important to write down desires and goals and this helps in some incomprehensible way to fulfill them.

If you are thinking about goals, then you will probably also be interested in this useful article It will help you think differently about your personal finance goals. After reading the article, you will understand how easy it is to provide yourself with a decent “pension”, without even waiting for retirement age! Be sure to pass on this simple but valuable knowledge to your children, because in our schools it is not customary to teach personal finance issues.

5. How to achieve goals, slowly and to the delight of yourself and your loved ones?

We know that everyone is different. They have different psychotypes, abilities, charisma, efficiency, intuition. That's why everyone lives, creates, realize their dreams and goals in DIFFERENT WAYS, based on their abilities and character.

Let's look at a small example. I will now describe the “portrait” of my successful friend:

  • He is an optimist, this helps him a lot in his business.
  • He has good abilities, but he is lazy.
  • At some moments, when he needs to get together and do something important, laziness recedes and he becomes assertive and purposeful.
  • He is also a very spontaneous person. If he gets excited about an idea, he immediately implements it without thinking. Because of this, there are often losses, but in general the job is done quickly.
  • He often relies on intuition and if something “doesn’t go well,” he easily puts it aside, knowing that in “due time” it will be done easily.
  • He does a lot of things absolutely selflessly, helping people.

Now you can roughly imagine (based on this characteristic) how my friend achieves his goals: sometimes lazily, sometimes impulsively, sometimes assertively and purposefully, sometimes relying on intuition. But he never goes against his nature, character, his moral principles. And this is the secret of his success.

Do you understand what I'm getting at? I want to say that we are all different and what you definitely shouldn’t do when achieving your goals is don’t break yourself. There is no need to drive yourself into a state of stress, no need to reproach yourself for being sluggish. And never go against the dictates of your heart and do something you don’t like just because everyone has such a goal on their list.

For example, I don’t like to play sports in gym. Let everyone go, but I won’t, because I tried it several times and was convinced that it didn’t bring me pleasure, and therefore no benefit.

Don’t listen to anyone who says that you need to devote so much time to your goal each day, that you need to schedule everything by day and hour. In this case, you will turn into a slave to your ambitions. You need your goals in order to live an interesting life, love, be a happy person, and do what you love.

Live slowly, enjoy life, give up rushing at home, at work and in relationships with all people. To this idea of ​​slow life Many progressive people from many countries have already come. And stop reproaching your children for their sluggishness the way your parents reproached you (I recommend an article on how to raise happy children and develop their intellectual and creative potential:). Since we are talking about children, I also recommend that you read an article about progressive and about, which will be in demand in 10 or more years.

Conclusion: In order to start living a more interesting life, without delay, sit comfortably now and write, without thinking, as many small and big things, goals, objectives and desires as possible.

And then, if the mood strikes, you can divide them into financial, personal and others. For big and small. But I will tell you that I always write down my life goals, desires and dreams in a row. And I divided them today for the first time just for this article, so that it becomes clear what the goals are.

Do you like this approach to business? No tediousness! I like this new positive approach to life - do everything with joy, as your heart tells you!

Finally, I suggest you watch a wonderful video describing the genius and simple way, How to joyfully and effectively achieve results in 4 areas of life goals. I loved the idea of ​​setting small goals along the way to big ones and celebrating each one's accomplishments! At the same time, cover all 4 areas of your life and set only one goal at the beginning. I'll take this one for myself cool idea for service!

I wish everyone inspiration and self-confidence!
