They are essential attributes of a successful person. The more clearly we imagine what we want to achieve in the future, the better. So there is more chance not to miss the opportunities that life is known to be rich in. When an individual actually works on himself, he has additional opportunities. Here, even the smallest details matter, because they make up a complete picture. What are short term goals? How to properly formulate and achieve them? Let's consider in more detail.

Concept definition

It is very important to understand correctly what is actually at stake. To achieve success in life, you must learn to distinguish between long-term and short-term prospects. Short-term goals are those desires and aspirations that the individual hopes to achieve in two to six months. Sometimes you can meet tasks scheduled for a year, but they can be completed earlier. The main difference is that a person must see in his head the realization of his dreams.

In the most general case, you need to clearly understand why you need to achieve a particular goal. The set goals come true much faster than those that we just carry in our heads, but do not write down on paper. As a rule, they help to come to more global aspirations. See below for examples of short-term goals.

Desired income

This paragraph perfectly illustrates an example of goals that a person sets for himself and plans to achieve in the near future. If in the long term an individual wants to get rich and receive millions of fees, then at the initial stage it is necessary to at least increase income by one and a half to two times. All kinds of short-term goals in one way or another affect those that we set ourselves for many years to come. Indeed, in order to reach the expected result in a few years, it is necessary to take certain steps every day in the direction of the desired. Short-term goals may be to increase your monthly income.

Most people will definitely include this item in their forward planning. Having a clear idea of ​​how much money you want to receive will help organize yourself in the right direction.

Shopping

What joys of life can do without shopping! In the near future, be sure to indicate the things that you are going to purchase. It is necessary to think over everything well in order to be able to control the process of progress towards the task. If you let the situation take its course, you can very soon be disappointed in yourself and lose faith in the existing internal forces. When we can afford the purchases we want, it is incredibly encouraging, instilling confidence in our own prospects. Each of us has a list of desires that we need to learn how to manage. It is imperative to please yourself with those purchases that bring pleasure. Denying yourself everything, you can lose inspiration.

Health category

It, too, cannot be ignored, since well-being in general depends on our physical condition. We should not forget about our own health. It is necessary to include intentions to maintain your physical well-being in the list of goals in time. If young people can not bother themselves much with this, then older people are more concerned about this issue.

Trips

It is also recommended to plan your trips to nature or vacation in advance. If this is not done, then later you will have to frantically look for a suitable case. Some people love spontaneous travel, but they are only good when the individual has enough free time. When things take up most of the day, invariably something has to be sacrificed. It is extremely important that free funds are always available for the implementation of the desired intention.

Only then will a person feel truly happy and self-sufficient. The set goals should motivate you to new achievements. As a rule, if an individual has some kind of dream, he strives to achieve it with all his might. Here, even the obstacles that arise cease to play a certain role.

Clear wording

Setting and achieving goals is a whole science, which often takes a lifetime to learn. The clearer the intention, the better. This is how we create a clear idea in our head of what we need. Without this vision, it is hardly possible to start a new project. We must be fully aware of what we are striving for. Try to write down your goals in a notebook. If you just carry them in your head, then most likely they will remain only dreams.

It is best when a person has a very specific idea of ​​what he wants to achieve. Such a desire will not be lost with time, will not fade away under the influence of numerous difficulties.

Measurable and reachable

Very important characteristics, without which it is impossible to go towards your desires. Short-term goals in life and at work help not to give up, not to give in to difficulties when they begin to manifest themselves especially clearly. A person should always have the opportunity to measure his desires, bring them to a certain date. If you know that you have to save a certain amount by June, then most likely you will be able to do it. You should not make sky-high desires. In any case, they must somehow relate to our real situation.

Of course, it is worth dreaming about more, but the growth of victories should be carried out gradually. Otherwise, you may be bitterly disappointed. You need to give yourself time to get used to winning. They should become an integral part of life, and not some kind of miracle. We must understand that we will be able to achieve the stated result. Any person wants to get what they want, especially when they make significant efforts every day to make their dreams come true.

positive character

All goals related to your immediate future must be formulated in a positive way. A positive attitude already at the stage of indicating your desires helps to find inspiration. If you have a habit of constantly scrolling negative impressions in your head, urgently change your approach to life.

It is necessary to learn to see the positive aspects of what is happening, even if it is still difficult for you to believe that what you want will really come into your life. With a positive mindset, anything can be achieved, as there will be no factors that can hold you back and limit you unduly.

present tense

All intentions must be formulated as if changes are already happening to you right now. By writing down your goals in the present tense, you move closer to achieving them. It just seems that nothing depends on our desires. When difficulties drag on, the individual gets used to thinking, to perceive any information in a negative light. Only a formulation in the present tense can bring us closer to what we want. It is necessary, if possible, to reread the written goals every day and, of course, to believe that they will certainly be fulfilled. Trust the Universe, and then it will pleasantly surprise you.

Necessary steps

No matter how great your intentions, it is important to start moving in the direction you want in advance. After all, the result will not arise from nothing, by itself, if you do not make very specific efforts. Having decided on your tasks, you need to start a new life as soon as possible. A new goal will lead you forward, inspire you to great things. It's wonderful when a person begins to really believe in the available prospects. Only then does he have the opportunity to achieve any result, wings grow behind his back, a desire to act arises. A surge of enthusiasm, the emergence of fresh ideas is a good sign. All these manifestations indicate that a person has taken responsibility for what happens to him. He will definitely achieve the desired result, because he does not doubt the correctness of the decision made. The readiness to act, despite the obstacles that arise, is actually worth a lot.

Thus, short-term goals must be formulated in a timely manner and written down in a notebook. If you just keep them in your head, they will not be fulfilled soon. It is recommended to start taking the necessary steps as soon as possible so as not to miss the time. The concentration of a large amount of positive energy will help you get closer to your cherished dream.

Motivation, planning, goal setting - these words have firmly entered the lexicon of a modern person focused on success. It has long been no secret that planning for the future helps to live the present, gives life form and meaning, trains the will, allows you to live as you want, and not someone else. To effectively plan your life time, life coaches recommend setting not one goal, but several specific goals, and the more the better. It is very useful to have a long list of goals, grouped by deadlines, priorities and aspects of life.

The common idea of ​​50 human vital goals is a win-win for the following reasons: First, 50 goals are enough to cover a long period of time. Secondly, fifty is not such a large number, so the goals become accessible, real, and do not subjugate the whole life. A list of, say, 300 goals would be more difficult to implement psychologically: such a number of goals will one day simply hang over the psyche with an unfulfilled burden. Fifty is quite possible to implement, and even allocate a year of active life for each of the goals.

Here is an example of a list of goals distributed by life directions.

If a traveler, climbing a mountain, is too busy with every step and forgets to consult the guiding star, he risks losing it and going astray. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery).

In this series of articles, I want to tell you how to set goals correctly and achieve them: how famous and successful people do it, how I do it.

Why is this question so important?

Everyone knows that it is good for health to run in the morning, but only a few do it.

Everyone knows that you need to eat right. After all, malnutrition is no less harmful than smoking or drinking alcohol. But “until it presses down” most people don’t think about it.

The same situation is with the achievement of goals.

We all know that we need to set goals for ourselves, achieve something, improve mentally and physically.

But, honestly, most of us leave our goals “to chance”, thereby completely removing all responsibility for achieving them.

It turned out - fortune! It didn’t work out - no luck!

The main reasons why people do not achieve their goals are:

• lack of priorities in our lives. We do not know what is more important for us: career or family, health or leisure, etc.
• there is only enough time for work routine and household chores at home. The goals we want to achieve are pushed back indefinitely on the timeline
• the existence of confusion between dreams, ideas, projects and goals. We do not have a clear division of "what is what", so most of the goals are simply lost
• Our goals do not have clear criteria. It seems that there are goals, but our brain (and the forces that help us from above) cannot understand how we will know that we have achieved them.
• the realism of our goals does not correspond to reality. A lot of people who have worked all their lives in paid jobs and have not earned a dime on their own, write themselves the goal of “Create a cool business and make $1,000,000.” Why not? Really! I always ask in such cases: “Why not a billion? Is a million enough? Complete inconsistency with reality!

What does goal setting mean?

Most of the troubles all over the world are due to the fact that people do not understand their goals accurately enough (I. Goethe)

To correctly set goals and achieve them, you do not need to invent any bicycles.

Everything has already been thought of before us!

The most effective way to work with goals is to divide them into long-term, medium-term, and short-term goals.

How to set goals - The Goal Pyramid

Long term goals

These are vital goals for the next 10 and 3-5 years. And you need to put them in that order.

When setting goals for 10 years, you can give complete freedom to your fantasies and dreams, simulate any situations that we want to be.

Based on these images, we create long-term goals for ourselves for 3-5 years, which will be either one third or half of the goals for 10 years.

Examples of long-term goals:

• Become the #1 specialist in your industry
• Build your own house
• Take a trip around the world in a hot air balloon

Medium term goals

These are the goals for the coming year. And they should move us significantly towards our long-term goals for 3-5 years.

Examples of medium-term goals:

• Organize all your affairs and tasks, learn effective planning
• Buy a plot of land 10 acres to build your own house
• Learn to fly in a hot air balloon

Short term goals

These are the goals for the next 1-3 months. They are formed on the basis of medium-term goals for the coming year.

Examples of short-term goals:

• Take an individual course on organizing cases, tasks, projects, goals using the MyLifeOrganized task planner
• Get a consultation with a lawyer and prepare a list of the full package of documents for the purchase of land
• Pass a medical examination and go up in a hot air balloon for the first time with an instructor at the Balloon Festival (if there is one, of course)

It turns out such a chain of goals

We break big goals into small ones in such a way that each short-term goal should move us towards our long-term goals. In other words, to help achieve them.

Well, the definition of vital long-term goals follows from the purpose of each of us on this earth:

• Why are we here?
• What should be left behind for posterity?
• etc.

It is something like navigating the polar star, which leads us in the right direction.

What is a goal? Types of goals (long-term, short-term)

The goal is your dreams, hopes, desires, aspirations. This is what makes your eyes burn, there is energy, joy and meaning in today, from which the heart beats faster.

Rule 6

A dream differs from a goal only in that it has a specific time frame.

We will consider goals from simple to complex. So, in the life of every woman there are everyday things: go to the store, cook dinner, check the lessons of the children, etc. - these are short-term goals (for the day). There are goals that are scheduled for the week, such as going to the theater on Saturday, attending a meeting on Friday. It is easy to plan our activities for the day and week, we do just that every day, going to bed: we begin to think about how we would not forget to do this and that tomorrow.

So, what are the urgency of the goals:

Short-term goals - up to one year.

Medium-term goals - up to five years.

Long-term goals - up to ten years.

It is more difficult to plan your life for a year, and what can we say about planning five or even ten years ahead!

We assume that some of you are indignant, referring to the fact that now is not the right time and it is generally impossible to plan for five years, when nothing depends on you in life: the economy is unstable, the time is not right, the world is going on God knows what, and so on. , and the like ... (add yourself).

Time always not what you need. Life is generally unpredictable. Right now (or in an hour) a brick can fall on your head - and it will all be over. You can return to what we talked about in the first chapter, that “I wish I had her ingenuity, but this one still has to take her mind, her legs, her dad ...”. We also do not like some laws of nature, but we have to reckon with them. You only have what you have, and this is a great launching pad for you to develop and move towards your goals.

We will talk about your doubts later, a separate topic will be devoted to this.

But you will not deny the fact that in our time and in our state there are successful women?

Well, they were lucky, we agree, they were in the right place. And how did they get there? Why didn't they lie on the couch and watch TV at that time?

Three birds perched on a branch.

Two of them decided to fly away. How many birds are left on the branch?

Answer: three.

Moral: decision - does not mean action.

The hardest part is getting started. Reading a book is not enough, the material will remain in your memory in the form of bricks, which will eventually become covered with dust, and then turn into decay.

There are many theoretically savvy people in the world. They can talk a lot and correctly about success, read books like this one, talk about worthy goals, about achieving them, but these are just words that remain theory.

Let's not be original when we say:
