#2 CREATING GOALS Response

What are the three goals you want to accomplish? Accomplishment date?

EXAMPLE:  I would like to lose 10 pounds in a month, have a book written in a year from now, and own a house in 2 years from now.

Is your daily routine supporting you in reaching your goals, how could they be modified to help?

Write an hourly journal of your typical day to help you see better what changes you could make in your day to reach your goals.

EXAMPLE: I have my goals posted on my refrigerator as a daily reminder. I spend a few minutes every morning making plans to fulfill my goals.

0600 – Wake Up

0700 – Work Out – work on goal of getting more exercise.

0800 – Clean up and off to work

830 – 1700 – Work – Provide for my family

1800 – Help with dinner and clean up

1900 – Read to my kids – work on goal of spending quality time with my family

2000 – Online course – work on goal of taking one college course

2130 – Time alone with my spouse – work on goal of quality time with my spouse

2200 – Sleep time – work on goal of getting regular sleep and rest

Reflect on whether you’re daily routine is helping or hindering your progress toward your goals.

EXAMPLE: I need to cut back on watching TV and playing video games every day and spend more time working out to lose weight.
