Having Goals and Making Ways to Get Organized

“Regardless of what it is, if you can simplify it – do so.”

Rachael Phillips, Huffington Post

Goals are only achieved by creating a habit, then consistently practicing it – so, let’s create new habits!  Here are a few tools to get it done:

1. Keep your surroundings organized and you will be more apt to reach your goal, because if you have too many things happening, you will be overwhelmed and ineffective.

2. Think about what you can make simple… your wardrobe, family menu, paper system.

3. To keep your focus, set one goal and use your energy to make that one thing a great success (what is the point of setting a goal, if you aren’t going to take action to achieve your goal)?

4.   Write down your goal and follow through with these steps:

       What is my goal?

       Is my goal challenging enough?

       What will have to change to accomplish my goal?

       What are three things I need to do to accomplish my goal?

       When did I reach my goal?
