LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Like a lot of people, I use the down time that falls between Christmas and the New Year to review the past year and plan for the next. I set intentional, measurable goals so that I don’t come to December 31 and wonder what happened to my life in the past twelve months. Also like a lot of people, I find that my goals are only as good as the follow-through system I employ. In the past I’ve kept a notebook, had monthly meetings with my husband, and tried several other things but I’m not satisfied. I still think follow-through can be done more effectively.

This year, I’m planning to set goals three months at a time, review them, and move on to something new. Invariably, my year looks much different in October than I thought it would in January, so it makes sense to me to plan a little bit at a time, all the while keeping my major long-term goals in front of me as a matrix through which I set smaller goals.

Do you have a goal-setting and -measuring system? What’s your plan?
