I have been trying to achieve some daily goals for the past 5 Days. Today is day 5 of my 30-day plan of achieving the daily goal. Like any new attempt, I have success on some days and struggled on others. So I went in search of tips, tools and ideas on how to set and achieve goals more successfully. In my quest, I stumbled upon a very useful theory of goal setting and motivation by Latham and Locke (1990). Here I share the same and hope you all will benefit from the same.

5 principles of powerful goal setting.

  1. Clarity (specific and clear)
  2. Challenge (sufficiently difficult)
  3. Commitment (buy-in from onset)
  4. Feedback (regular stock-taking on progress)
  5. Complexity (not too complex)

Additional actions which can enhance goal attainment

  1. Writing down goals
  2. Measuring goals
  3. Having specific time frames attached to them
  4. Making a public commitment to someone regarding the goal

While I plan to use these to enhance my goal attainment, I eagerly look forward to your response to the above-mentioned tips.

They do resonate so well! One other thing that I’ve been doing is to set a weekly goal and caliberate daily. It helps me prioritise well. In case there’s a deadlock, the triaging can be easier.
