Look, a to do list for everything that needs to be done; especially at the office; I'm all for. I get a kicker out of it. Especially when you get to check off each task when done and seeing the progress made. But something that spans over a certain time period, like with a list of goals or a dream board, didn't really work for me.
As a teenager I had tried out the dream board, but it didn't work for me. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind or that I didn't use the tool in the right way. It doesn't matter now though; we shouldn't dwell on the past. We should only be in the present moment and look forward.
After some years of working experience I did get to learn a thing or two. Like formulating SMART goals. Meaning the goal needs to be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-based. I guess that's what my goals lacked in middle school 😅

These are just some of the goals that I have set for next year. What are yours and are they SMART?
