Today, I am taking permission to set meaningful, achievable, and measurable goals for this year and to hold myself accountable to diligently use the means available to achieve these goals.
I’ve hated goal setting for most of my life. This is because I am a recovering perfectionist. I haven’t wanted to have to admit failure. So, I haven’t wanted to be accountable. In the past, I also haven’t done a good job of separating goals from desires.
Properly done, goal setting should provide a road map for the investment of time and resources into what really matters. This shouldn’t be the bottleneck that it has been for me often, but it should inform my plans and desires and release me to accomplish them.
