Goal-setting

I never used to understand the concrete benefit of ‘goal-setting’ – at most, I’d write a list of goals for the year ahead during the Christmas school holidays with a friend or two. We’d write down targets to the tune of ‘get 2 A grades in mock exams’, ‘make the netball team’ and ‘stop eating pasta every day’ – and then we’d never address them again. (Also, NB, pasta is important and there is nothing wrong with having it every day.) More recently, I’ve found the practice to be a helpful, if sometimes tedious, exercise in deciphering what I want out of my time, and establishing parameters within which I can alter my daily and weekly processes in order to achieve something I wouldn’t otherwise have identified. I’ve forced myself to incorporate goal-setting into my life, perhaps even too frequently, in order to establish better personal boundaries towards success, and address my new cumulative goal of engaging in micro-passions and self-actualising.

In my mind, goal-setting is all about marking a destination with a hefty pinch of planning – it is a science, so let’s try to get it right from the off. As with everything we’ve discussed so far, there’ll be aspects of this method that work well for you, and other aspects that won’t sit well with you or your lifestyle. Try them all, and mould them to your preferences. As a general rule, the amount of time you spend goal-setting should decrease the smaller the picture gets. For example, you might want to set out half a day for your annual goal-setting exercise, but if you spend more than ten minutes on your daily goals, you’ll start to push the limits of what’s useful.
