A goal without a plan is just a wish. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery, French writer (1900 – 1944)
How often do your goals turn out to be only a wish? Here’s a great way to stay on top of your desired outcomes.
Start each work day with a quick 2 minute structured check-in.
First, create a list of 5-10 questions to ask yourself during the check-in. These questions should reflect your desired outcomes for the day. Your checklist might look like this:
- What is most important for me to accomplish today?
- What is urgent that must be completed today?
- Have I given myself time for meals and two 15 minute breaks?
- Am I using a timer regularly?
- What else should I add here?
One last thing: Think of this checklist as a work in progress. When the last questions triggers you to become aware of another item for your daily desired outcomes, add a new question to the list to support you in remembering the new item.
