Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning, this is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is to make space for goal -setting.
If you want to succeed in reaching your goals, you should make sure these goals are well chosen and well thought through.
Figuring all that out requires time, but it is generally time well spent.
So I'm writing this a few weeks after I returned from a goal -setting retreat in Florida.
My Best of Both Worlds podcast co -host, Sarah Hart Unger, also runs a podcast called Best Laid Plans, which is about all things planning.
She hosted the retreat where about 20 of us came together to plan out the next year.
Now, I know not everyone can carve out three days of their lives for planning, and I know that the next year will happen whether I set goals or not.
Some of my goals might not happen for reasons I can't control.
That said, thinking about how I'd like to spend my time over the next year vastly increases the chances that what I want to have happen, happens.
With that, not all goals are created equal.
Sometimes people set goals like lose weight or get in shape.
But what does that mean?
Life is lived in hours.
How do you intend to use your hours to achieve these goals?
What steps will be involved?
What will you be doing on an average Tuesday to work toward these goals?
When I set my goals for the past year, I spent some time thinking through what I would actually do.
I have long wanted to write a collection of sonnets, but I had never followed through on that desire.
Then, this past year, I realized I could commit to writing two lines in a Yambic pentameter every day.
Two lines a day is 14 a week, which is a sonnet every week.
Because I figured out the logistics and figured out how this goal would be doable, I did it, and I have now written as many sonnets as there have been weeks in the year.
But I had to figure that out.
Things don't always just pop into our heads.
We need time and space to think about them.
And to think about what goals are appealing and which aren't.
And of the appealing goals, how we can actually structure daily life to make them happen.
So today's tip is to give yourself that space.
Figure out when in your life you can take at least a few hours to think through any goals you would like to set for yourself.
When can you get a few hours apart from the rest of your life?
What sort of setting would be conducive for this?
You might think through some prompts, so you aren't just staring at a blank page or computer screen the whole time.
Think through your career goals.
Picture yourself at an annual review a year from now.
What would you like to be celebrating?
Picture what you will be telling friends and family about your amazing life next holiday season.
What are you toasting?
Think through any pain points in your life.
Are there steps you could take to solve these pain points?
What practically might work?
How would these things fit into your life?
Give yourself the space to think through your goals and you will probably come up with better ones than if you just give it a passing thought on December 31st.
You will emerge with a better plan.
It won't just be, I'd like to write some poems.
It will be 20 syllables in a certain rhyming scheme every day.
The latter feels a lot more likely to happen.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
