The Second Step In Creating Goals

You must look back on the last year.

I talked about first coming up with your dream in my last post. In case you missed it, here is a link:

The First Step In Creating Goals

Now that you have your dream fresh in your mind, you need to look back over the last year. What were your goals? Did you succeed? If so, what was it that you did right? If you did not, what went wrong?

As I take a look back on my last year it’s a mixed bag. I got a lot of things accomplished and hit many of my goals, but there were things that I did not succeed at.

Why?

Time management and routines.

I work full time and had a lot going on such as moving, sending a child off to Basic Training, moving someone in with us, gutting and renovating a new house etc.

As much as I wanted to, I let a good majority of my goals slide away. The routines that I had firmly in place during the beginning of the year disappeared and that was the beginning of the end.
