You’ve now had time to work on your New Year’s resolutions, but what about your follow-up and follow-through? Have you taken the time to inspect what you expect? A simple follow-up is often not as simple as it seems. When setting goals, it is also important to follow up and check on your progress with a “Resolution Check-In.” The “Check-In” will reveal how you’re doing.
Formal goal-setters seem to beat the competition regarding achieving your objectives. The reason is simple: they set goals and check their lists regularly. This activity reminds them to stay on track and re-evaluate or re-establish a goal when necessary. Achieving your goals after you’ve set them is simply a matter of follow-up and follow-through. If you set a goal and forget about it, it will most likely never be completed, but if you monitor your progress and take steps daily toward achieving that goal, you are well on your way to unlimited power and success.
Here are three steps for your Resolution Check-In. Maybe it is time to reassess your goal setting. Be realistic and work toward achieving your goals daily.
Ensure you always check, readjust, and push forward to achieve your goals. People who succeed continually monitor their progress.
Look closely at your goals to determine which goals are appropriate and which are inappropriate.
Do not abandon your goals; reevaluate them. A goal should be challenging yet attainable.
Look at your goals and apply a check-and-balance timeline. You should have a timeline for every one of your goals. For example, you want to lose 100 pounds. Determine a healthy, weekly weight loss target and monitor your loss. Also, if you are not losing weight, then determine why. Weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly sub-goals are realistic. If you learn to succeed weekly, you will see great monthly results.
