Goal Setting Tips – How To Use Goals To Improve Your Life
As mentioned in my earlier post, it’s easier to set simple goals first and followed by the complex ones. So, goals can be simple to complex. You don’t have to think too long and hard as to how to set goals for yourself in order to improve your life.
Some goals can be achieved on the same day that you have written them down. Whereas, some may require years to accomplish. It doesn’t really matter what you have written. The most important thing is that you start the ball rolling and you will gradually build the habit of setting goals for yourself to achieve.
You can set goals on a daily, weekly, monthly, half-yearly or yearly basis. Some of the things you know you should carry out but you didn’t. One of the reasons could be due to you are too lazy to do them.
So, stop your procrastination and start taking action. What you should do is to jot down those items that you want to accomplish and set them as goals for yourself to achieve to improve your life.
Here are some examples of goal settings :
A) Daily-Basis Goal Settings :
1) Do exercise 15-30 minutes per day

You will get additional ideas on how you can reach those goals once you write your ideas down as goals.
