How to achieve your goals

Gtdlife.cn wrote an article "What should you do when you suspect yourself ?" I believe in my own abilities. However, this is far from enough. We only believe in ourselves. It is just an out-of-concept. You can say that Einstein has made great achievements by believing in himself. However, do not ignore the hard work he has made to prove himself.

What is the target?

Goals (30 thousand feet): goals are more refined than visions, and there is usually a staged outcome within a year. For example, my current goal is:

◎ Expand your connections by attending business meetings every week and call friends to consolidate your connections.

Participate in management training courses or MBA courses to improve overall competence.

◎ Keep reading for 40 minutes every day to expand your knowledge and study your exclusive fields in a deeper level.

How to set a target that is more conducive to execution?

What are the goals that are more conducive to execution? It is very simple, that is, a simple small goal. If your goal is to "increase the turnover of cake shops by 20%", this is simply impossible. In the face of such a goal, you will have fear and resistance, therefore, the possibility of achieving it is relatively small, so what we should do is to break down the goal.

For example, my goal is to "write a book about GTD about words in half a year", and then I will break it down: What is the form? What is the content? What materials are needed and so on? This is a very arduous task, but it plays a decisive role in your future. Therefore, I suggest you, in particular, when doing a very complex project decomposition, we should not spend more time on it. This is "never cut firewood by mistake ", it took me almost three weeks to break down the project and break down the target to "spend one and a half hours at noon every day to organize the content and ideas of a section, every night from to AM, exclude interference in writing.

How to extract time from work to write books?

Like most people, I usually work from Monday to Friday at five o'clock P.M. a.m. and work at a.m.. I am ready to handle emergencies for the rest of the time. Where can I write a 0.2 million-character book within six months ??

From the preceding task breakdown, we can see that I already have my own plan: when someone else takes a lunch break at noon every day, I organize the content and ideas and use the Mind Map, I have to sit down to be as meticulous as possible and work out the backbone. When others go out for pleasure at night, I want to exclude all interference in writing. So many people say, Where did you spend so much time? In fact, I only use the time for others to drink tea and chat to do what I think is important. I am also paying for this. I do not recommend that you sacrifice your spare time like me. In fact, I really like to play out with friends, but my values tell me, this book is more important to me, so after consideration, I rationally gave up communication with friends, maintained with customers, and got close to nature.

In other words, when your goals are consistent with your values and are very clear and executable, you will actually invest time in this goal.

Therefore, I have always attached great importance to the dual roles of values and the target system. They are like two feet. If we lose one aspect, our efficiency will be affected.

What should I do if my goal is not fulfilled?

Even if your goals are meticulous and conform to your values, they may not be fulfilled. This is a fact we must face and acknowledge, it is like the day when we admit that we all died. What should we do if we encounter setbacks in achieving our goals?

I often encounter "insufficient motivation" when I write "Xiaoqiang's title escalation". When I see that others are resting there, I am still working hard to organize content and write hard work, I have also encountered a situation where my thinking is exhausted and I have no inspiration at all, so my writing plan has been delayed. I think this is a situation that anyone may encounter, although in a different form.

What should I do? My approach is to allow myself to take a short break, select a moment, and start again! I refused to invite many friends to the party when I wrote "Xiaoqiang's title register". When I felt very tired and hard, I would adjust my skills through attending the party or outdoor activities, when I breathe fresh air, it is a boost to my body, body, and inspiration, just as we cannot keep under the bottom of the water, and we must float to breathe.

OK. How can I start again after I release the pressure and adjust my mood? I have a tips: Start from the iconic moment!

For example, "today, Monday, a new day of the week, refresh and continue to complete the" register of Xiaoqiang ?!" "Tomorrow is my birthday. After my birthday, I will continue to complete the" register of Xiaoqiang "!" "Today, I played basketball. It's amazing! I will continue to write "Register of Xiaoqiang" Tomorrow !"

It's easy, isn't it? In fact, it is the communication between yourself and yourself. This is to take advantage of some psychological aspects. While learning time management, we should also learn psychology, because time management requires us to learn to communicate with ourselves.
