Today’s Tip
Make a Plan to Reach Your Personal Goals
You probably have things you’d like to get better at, but perhaps, like many people, you struggle to find the discipline. The good news is that you can change your behavior by taking a methodical approach. Start with a problem you’d like to solve or a future result you’d like to achieve, and articulate why it’s important to you. Knowing what your purpose is in taking on this challenge will help you sustain your motivation. Next, identify measures of success. What does achieving your goal look like? How will you know if you’re making progress? Ground yourself with an intention and make a commitment. You might place a sticky note with your intention on your computer where you’ll see it first thing each morning. Then choose new behaviors to implement that will help you achieve your goal, and seek feedback as you practice them. Tell your manager, team members, or a trusted colleague what you’re working on and that you need their input to help you get better. And don’t forget, as you make progress, to celebrate your successes.
