I Am Alive Day 105

I Am Alive Day 105 - Tasks, Milestones and Goals

Bob Caine here. This is my 105th day participating in the #iamalivechallenge. I am alive and doing very well. I hope you are doing very well as well. My computer seems to be running fine after the problems from 2 days ago. I haven't found any side effects thank goodness.

Guinea Pig Challenge

Many of you have your 3 top goals your determined for the Guinea Pig Challenge. How are you going to achieve goals. I would suggest that you need to create a plan that breaks your goal into smaller, measurable tasks. Simple activities that are achievable and easy to do. So this post, will look at the importance of having a plan, remaining flexible and breaking your goals down to steps that you can do.

You are much more likely to achieve your goals if you do some planning. If you can create a written plan that is the best especially if you share it with others. Many of us have been doing that for a couple of months. Showing the progress of our goals in #ctptalk. So, why wouldn't you do that with the Guinea Pig Challenge?

In the planning you need to find a balance between detailed tasks and maintaining flexibility to adapt. Flexibility is needed because unforeseen circumstances may necessitate a change in the details to achieve the goals. Circumstances will inevitably cause you to change your plan, that is why the planning is the important factor not the plan itself.

"Plans are worthless but planning is everything"
Dwight Eisenhower

Planning to achieve goals

Let's say your goal is a vacation at Yellowstone National Park.. Travel is needed for most of us to achieve that goal and requires planning to accomplish it. So, if I choose to drive, it is a long drive which makes sense to breakdown to pieces. Using a map, we could could plan the the route with each road as a task and major cities along the way as milestones.

The drive is going to take several days and will require places to stay each night. This requires reservations. Each reservation needed is a task. Any sightseeing along the way may require tickets. Getting the tickets is a task. And of course where to stay and what to do at Yellowstone will require the most planning and tasks as Yellowstone is a popular place and reservations can be very difficult to get.

Goals should be a stretch

My vacation goal is a simple one that any of us could do. But your goals may be bigger and more ambitious. It is important to goals that will stretch our abilities, even make us uncomfortable with what we need to do to achieve the goal. If set goals that we know we can do we will not grow or do something outstanding. The unreachable goal is the most rewarding and life changing.

A challenging goal is a goals that will require sometime to achieve and has the possibility of not being reached at least in the time frame set for that goal. You could fail but succeeding results in a significant change in your business or life.

I am going to continue this tomorrow since it is getting longer than I thought.
