Yup! There are only 100 days left in 2013. Scary right! Where has the time gone? Or better yet – What Did You Get Accomplished?
We all start the year with these resolutions, which statistically are abandoned by January 21 and never thought of again. Then next thing you know its New Year’s Eve, again, and the resolution declaring starts. It’s a never ending cycle.
Or maybe you are like me, constantly revisiting and revising your goals. I review and set goals on a quarterly basis, but come the end of the year I am always left with some outstanding tasks
Well 100 days, 3 months, the 4th quarter – however you want to refer to it, is still plenty of time to GET THINGS DONE!!!
Whatever it is that you need to accomplish, now is the time to re-assess, re-group and re-focus. By implementing the simple action steps listed below, you can hit your goal and end 2013 with a bang! Ready? Set! GO!
Action Step #1: Determine Your Goal
- Make your goal specific – the more streamlined the goal, the more streamlined your focus.
- Be realistic – make sure it is attainable within the timeframe set.
- Write it down – writing your goals gives a sense of clarity, shows commitment and makes it concrete.
Action Step #2: Seek Help
- Get an accountability partner and/or mentor to keep you on track.
- Outsource & Delegate – Yes there are things that need to be done, but do YOU physically need to do them?
Action Step#3: Take Action
- Don’t overthink it.
- Don’t wait for the “perfect time”.
- Just Do It!!!!!
And don’t forget to celebrate! Every goal you reach deserves a reward! Most times we set goals hit them and then we are off to set more goals so quickly, that we don’t take a minute to reflect on what we just accomplished. Make sure you take time out to appreciate your accomplishments but remember – your celebration should be in line with your goal.
