10 Ways to Achieve your Goals Quicker

January 11 by | 33 comments | Lifehack, Management | Tags: ,

Found through Be Excellent Blog, recently ThinkTQ.com announced the results of 2005 Goals Study. They considered 10 important key actions that once taken will make you closer to the goal. They also compiled how often and well people take these action items. The key actions are pretty neat. The results are shocking:

  • Make all your dreams real by first identifying and then focusing on specific, tangible targets for what you want.
  • Maintain at least one clearly defined goal for every major interest and role in your life.
  • Set your goals so they are directly aligned with your life’s mission, purpose and passion.
  • Create goals high enough to ignite your spirit and inspire you to take action.
  • Write down all your goals in specific, measurable detail.
  • Absolutely, unconditionally commit to hitting each of your targets.
  • Share your goals with others for mutual accomplishment.
  • Set a whole series of related daily, weekly and long-term goals, complete with starting times and completion dates.
  • Take 10 minutes every day to imagine how terrific it will feel when your goals are actually realized.
  • Take an action step toward the attainment of at least one goal every day.

In their sample size of 32,896 users who took the survey, the results are not promising. Only a maximum of 33% users consistently take the action item. Maybe most of them do not know how to achieve their goals, or they never plan their goals. Without a way to walk closer to your goal, you will only be dreaming about the achievement. You have to be a dreamer as well as a doer to taste the achievement in reality.

    i am a student of class XII and i study the course of L.RON. HUBBERD “how to achieve your goals” and for that i tried to know something more about achieving the goals all the things i read in that line are right but i want to explain more that every one must do their goals be completed. all the goal must be completed with honest. honest is better to complete because truth is always truth. and no body can change the truth. but false is false because it will be wrong. any where and any time.

    Thought I’d share about how mySomeday.com has helped me achieve a bunch of my goals. Not only does it let me keep a visual list of my goals but it lets me break down big goals into small sets of actionable steps so I can track my progress, get feedback and share these goals with my friends and family. Its been a great source of inspiration for me and I’ve achieved a number of goals using it.

    Here are my goals – http://www.mysomeday.com/profile/globehound. As you can see I’ve achieved some and have plenty left to chase in 2011.

    Hope you find it helpful,

    I’ve been using the iPhone app called PeerPressure. It’s graphs your goal’s progress, makes a free webpage with the chart, and shares it with friends you choose. Knowing that my friends are following my progress really motivates me. http://www.peer-pressure.com

    great step,

    Every thing is easy to make our life. but one things is very difficult to make that is goal making. Without it you can not reach any where. You have told about goal in 10 lines . Its really full of information. Each line is one book if some one understand it.
    Thanks.

    To achieve anything requires an understanding of the principles of change. Most people try to force goals that don’t resonate with who they really are. This is why so many people hit brick walls and discontinue their pursuits. People also become very bitter and resentful, failing to realizing that the goal/goals they’ve been seeking would have never actually brought them fulfillment.
    There is a really great little book on the subject of reaching goals and enjoying the process/journey of reaching goals. It is very unconventional wisdom, but it forces you to take a deeper look at what you really want. I have a copy of the book! It’s called Anything is Possible: 91 truths about what is really possible for your life. It’s written by Daniel John MacIntyre. I found it it at dreambigpublishing.com. I think it;s available at Amazon.com also.
