Personal Goal Setting Techniques

3 Simple Tips To Achieve Your Goals In No Time Flat
By Michael Lee
Everyone has a goal or two that they would like to achieve. These goals may be short term or long term. Unfortunately, not all of these goals are easily fulfilled. More often than not, people find themselves sidetracked by other things. This is why personal goal setting techniques are so important. They help keep you on track.
Everyone can benefit from practicing personal goal setting techniques. Here are some examples of these techniques.

1) List Down Your Goals.
The first thing you have to do is to list down your goals. Write them down on a piece of paper and hang that list up someplace where you can see it. Or if you’re always using your laptop, why don’t you create a desktop wallpaper that lists down all your personal goals?
This is like forming a pact with yourself and telling yourself that you are committed to your goals. Creating an actual physical list also prevents you from just forgetting about your goals as time passes by.

2) Keep Your Goals Reasonable.
When learning personal goal setting techniques, remember to keep your goals reasonable. Make sure they are specific and measurable.
Just saying that you want to lose weight after a few months is not an effective goal at all. You must also indicate how much weight you intend to lose and exactly how long you have to complete that goal.
Writing down specific goals is more motivating than goals with no real deadline in sight. The concept works a lot like the concept for avoiding procrastination. Unless you give yourself a deadline, you’ll only keep putting that goal off for another month or even year. By the time you realize what you’ve been doing, more than six months have passed.

3) Visualize Fulfilling Your Goals.One of the most effective personal goal setting techniques is visualizing yourself actually fulfilling your goals. Never underestimate the power of your mind.
For example, if your goal is to lose x weight in six months, visualizing yourself looking slimmer everyday will definitely help you stay on track. Visualization also entices you to be disciplined.

These personal goal setting techniques are very helpful for both experienced and first-time goal setters. However, the most important factor when it comes to goal setting is your own determination to succeed. Unless you take this whole process seriously, you’re going to end up with a large pile of unfulfilled dreams.
