Setting written goals helps you get them done

It's already 5 months into the year 2004. Time really passes us by very fast and it's time for us to review our new year resolution. If you don't have it written down on papers or electronically, then perhaps it's also time to do it for easy review.

Get into the habit of always using the evening time to write a list of things that needed done the next day. If you don't write it down, it doesn't get done. Especially in management or in running a business, making written plans tonight for tomorrow is one of the good habits to cultivate.

So writing out your plans and "to-dos" instead of trusting them to your memory can help manage your personal and professional life in many ways. It's also taking care of the details that lead to the desired goals.

• Written plans make your responsibilities more manageable and relieves you from trying to memorize details
• If you write it out you are more likely to complete the task.
• Checking off items as you complete them will give you a sense of accomplishment and make you feel good about yourself.
• When you write down tasks, it's similar to drawing up a contract with your self. It forces you to commit to your goals.

In time to come, you will realise that it's ironic to think that daily goals small enough to fit on the pages of a pocket-sized notebook could create such a huge impact and maybe in more ways than one on your achievement. Always accomplished what you set out to do and by committing to your daily small goals on a nightly basis — inevitably making "achievement" a daily reality.

A written task is hard to ignore.

Good Luck And Success Be With Us.
