It is the best system you can use for New Year's resolutions. Why?
- Step-by-step guide
Vision
I always start by writing down a big picture. Whether it's a new project, a
side business, or a personal idea.
If you don't know how to start creating your vision, here are some
exercises that can help you:
- Describe what your ideal ordinary day or week would look like.
Example
Based on this, I can create a brief vision for each of them. Let's take
the first point, my health.
As you can see from my vision, I identify the things I care about most.
Goals
Through your goals, you create actions and build habits that will
ultimately create your vision for life.
Most people can't be consistent over the long term. The hardest thing is
to keep doing things without visible results. But if you set action-based
goals, it will help you achieve the target result.
Example
When my vision is to be healthy, fit, and lose weight, I can set specific
goals:
- Familiarize myself with the slow-carb diet and write down its
rules
Remember that your goals don't make you special. It's the actions you
take that make you special.
If you know what is most important, you can prioritize your actions.
I set goals and tasks for a short period. Usually, it is 3 to 6 weeks. This is
enough time to build a new habit and focus on a specific area of your
vision.
Example
- Studying the slow-carb diet (this is what I want to learn and then
continue)
Now your goal is to regularly cross off each task (depending on whether
it is a daily or weekly task).
These tasks are part of the goals you set. This is how you make real
progress.
● Vision (WHY) -> Your priorities (WHAT) -> Tasks and habits
(WHEN)
● Try to find quick wins. That famous 20% that produces 80% of the
results.
● Make sure you read your goals regularly so you always know what
is important and what to focus on.
● Use to-do lists. I don't have to think about what I need to do,
which saves me a huge amount of time.
