Achieving goals requires more than just setting them; it requires effective planning and execution. This week, we will be talking about how you can effectively plan and make room for the execution of your goals, no matter how busy you are.
Let’s get right into it. First, start by identifying your top three goals, considering your values, life season, and immediate direction. Then, estimate the hours needed to accomplish each goal, breaking it down into manageable chunks. If your goal’s magnitude necessitates estimating it in days rather than hours, it’s crucial to recalibrate it into hours. Simply multiply the number of days by 24 to convert it into an hourly estimate.
Next, we will schedule dedicated time for goal-related activities. Review your calendar for the next month, marking any periods of unavailability such as vacations or important events. Then, allocate specific time slots for working on your goals, considering your availability and other commitments. Creating time for your working on your goals can be challenging so in this resource right here, I take you through the process of creating time for your very important goals so be sure to download it. With this resource, you will be able to identify and allocate time for your goals.
Next, calculate your month’s availability for working on your goals by multiplying the number of weekly hours you got by 4 weeks, taking into account any period of unavailability. This gives you a realistic idea of how much time you have to devote to your goals each month. Next, prioritize your goals based on urgency and importance. Then, factor in their estimated workload and your available time to pinpoint the ideal completion date for each goal, while accounting for your schedule limitations. Engaging in this process enables you to identify goals requiring more than a month to accomplish. Moreover, if a goal is particularly urgent, it prompts you to reassess your schedule to carve out additional time for its pursuit.
It’s important not to overcommit yourself. Aim to utilize only about 50-70% of your available hours per month, allowing for flexibility and preventing burnout. Adjust this percentage based on your personal circumstances, such as whether you are a mum with childcare support or other forms of assistance. By following this systematic approach, you can empower yourself to plan and achieve your goals effectively within the constraints of your schedule. This method allows for realistic goal setting, ensuring that you make tangible progress without overwhelming yourself.
