Using A Journal To Set Goals

January 16, 2008

Setting Goals

Keeping a record when it comes to your goals is very important. It allows you to look back and discover the progress you’ve made towards your goals. Keeping a journal is a great way to do this. Here are some tips you can use on how to keep a journal for your goals.

JOURNAL OFTEN
It is important that you continue journaling often in your goal journal. Many people start keeping record of their progress, then tend to slack after a while. This usually happens when they become bored with their goals or are procrastinating, and thus not actually working towards their goals anymore.

RECORD DATES AND TIMES
As you journal about your goal process, remember to include dates and times on each entry. This is especially important because it will show you how long it took for you to step from one point to another.

REFLECT EACH MONTH
Usually your goals will either be long-term or will be reached and then new goals will be set. Either way, it is important for you to take time to reflect at the end of each month on where you are and what you’ve accomplished within the month. You’ll be able to spot flaws in time management and productivity. These can be tweaked for even better performance in upcoming months.

WRITE BRIEF ENTRIES
In most cases, you won’t need to create long, sprawling journal entries about your goals. Simply record the date and time, then write a brief statement about what you accomplished that day.
