Just as we would not expect to get in a car and drive to our destination without clear directions, we cannot reach our goals if we do not know how to achieve them.
Many individuals have experienced huge changes this year due to the impact of COVID-19. Goals have been put on-hold, obstacles have popped up and, for some, their whole identity has been shaken to the core. Now more than ever, it is so important to have clear goals to remain accountable and focused; having direction each day will stop us from feeling lost and put us back on a path to success. So, we wanted to share our top tips for setting goals and staying accountable!
1: Be CLEAR: We need to understand where we are headed! Write down who you want to be, and what you want to achieve once the world does return to normality. Set these long-term goals, then work backwards. What do you have to do each month, week and day, to get to that final point? The goal could be VERY long term (a competition in 2022) or not so long term (fitting into a dress you love for summer).
2: Take ACTION. Once you know what you need to do each day, write down what you are currently doing, and what you need to change, to achieve these daily tasks. This might mean implementing new daily habits, becoming educated in areas of weaknesses, or refining areas of strength.
3: Get ORGANISED: Schedule your day to the hour. If we know what we are doing, we are able to remain focused. This means planning every detail of your day. Have a consistent wake and sleep cycle. Have a morning routine, scheduled learning and work times, meal times, time away from devices and a clear end of day. Allow time for training, walks, relaxation and breaks, meals, down-time, and set hours for every task. A productive day, starts the night before. Get to bed with enough time for a good nights sleep, if you are planning on training early then set-out your gym clothes and pack your gym bag ready to go. Make your habits easier to achieve.
Your organisation, action and clear direction, will ensure you are productive, focused and accountable each day so you can reach your final destination!
