How to stay focused on achieving goals.

Do you find it easy to set goals, but totally overwhelming to actually do the work to pursue them? So much to do, so little time, right?!  IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

If you follow the Weekly One / Daily Three method, you’ll find that doing the work to get to your end goal can be easy, fun and not at all stressful.  Who knew?!

A podcast by Natalie Eckdahl of the BizChix podcast talked about this totally awesome approach and I was like, “YES!  This totally makes sense.”  I follow this approach today and like to share it with my clients and followers. 

Let me tell you… this approach literally takes the screaming “Ahhh” and turns it into the more zenful “Aaaah.”  You feel me?

So what is the Weekly One / Daily Three?

The Weekly One:  Set ONE goal each week that will help move the needle to get you to that one big goal you’ve set for the end of 30/60/90 days or even a year, whatever your timeline may be.

The Daily Three:  Set THREE tasks you want to get done each day.  These can be little personal things like going to the gym or setting a doctor’s appointment, or business tasks like paying invoices or having a staff meeting.  BUT make sure one of your three tasks is something that will support movement in your bigger goal.  Say goodbye to that ten item daily to do list and hello to feeling damn good when you’ve accomplished a more conservative three.  

In the end, yes it’s small movement, but it’s all in support of your bigger goal.  No more “Oh my gosh I have so much to do; I have to get it done now!”  Just STOP! 

Set your three tasks for each day and that one weekly goal and you’ll end each day and each week feeling productive and successful.  Even better, stay consistent with this and you’ll be achieving those, now not so lofty goals.  Pretty cool right?!
