HOW TO SET A GOAL AND ACHIEVE IT IN ONE YEAR?

Before setting goals, you need to know:

What a goal is?

A goal is something you want to achieve. It’s the desired result that you or a group of people plan and commit to achieving.

Put simply, a goal is a dream with a deadline.

How to set and achieve yearly goals?

Whether you’re creating yearly goals for work or your personal life, here are some tips.

1. Think about what you want

Be specific with what you want to accomplish. As you think about it, here are some questions to ask yourself:

• What do I want out of life?
• What kind of family life do I imagine?
• What are my career aspirations?
• What would I regret not doing before I die?

These types of questions will point you in the right direction. They will help you visualize your ideal life and help you start striving for it.

2. Start small

Set smaller milestones that inch you toward your larger goal. Each should have clear deadlines to stay on task throughout the year.?

3. Tell your close and loved ones about your ambitions

You don’t need to broadcast your goals to the world, but if you tell even a handful of people, they’ll feel much more real. Also, if you’re ever feeling lost, those people can remind you why you took on this challenge in the first place. They can also provide valuable feedback on how you’re doing.

4. Re-evaluate your goals often

A lot can change in a year. A few months from now, you may want very different things than you do currently. Re-evaluating your goals will help ensure you’re always heading in the right direction.

5. Reward yourself at each step

This means finding your “carrot” — an external motivator — to celebrate a milestone. It could be a chocolate bar after a run or a day off after writing. Every time you reward yourself, you reinforce the habit of achieving your goals.

6. Put your goals somewhere visible

Stick your list of goals to your bathroom mirror. Set them as your phone wallpaper. Tattoo them on your arm (okay, maybe don’t do this one). Whatever it is, make sure you can see and remind yourself of your goals every day!

7. Believe in yourself

There will be bumps on your journey. But, as with most things in life, they’ll pass. It’s important to believe in your ability to overcome obstacles. Trust that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to.

Pursuing a yearly goal is difficult. That’s a fact.?

But with a bit of planning, you can set yourself up for success!
