How many of your 2020 goals didn’t come to fruition?  Did you stick with your original goals, pivot, set new ones, or did life become so complicated that you were relieved to simply make it through each day?   Talking to colleagues, global pandemics and a change in life and work- style impacted reaching many 2020 goals. Some were literally unattainable.

For 2021, it felt more realistic to create goals thru June, with 1-2 horizon goals (ie. those set for further off deadlines). It’s hard to predict when the world will open further.

Here are a 5 ideas to help you keep reaching for your goals:

• Create attainable goals, a stretch one, and (why not?) an out-of-the-box goal
• Write out each goal several tactics to try to achieve each goal
• Assign deadlines—and possible metrics—to complete each step
• Find an accountability partner to discuss progress
• Set time daily/weekly/monthly on your calendar aside to focus specifically on your goals. 

Time, circumstances, health, money, drive all impact how and if we reach our goals.  Since life isn’t stagnant, our goals can change too. Finally, don’t give up on all your goals because one isn’t viable right now.  Create plans to pivot to another goal. 

The journey continues. Cindy
