*You can use one of two methods: 1. 2 categories:
1. Personal 2. Work
2. 3 categories: 1. What do you want to own 2. What do you want to be 3. What you want to do
Tips on how to choose your goals:
1. What do you really want to achieve
2. Choose a goal to create a journey *
3. Make sure your goal excites you
4. Performance vs. outcome goals:
5. Select them for the right reasons
* Additional Guiding questions: 1. How do I want to spend my time? 2. What daily activities make me want to leap out of bed? 3. What do I want to learn? 4. Who do I want to hang out with? Talk with? Collaborate with?
Specific: A specific goal will usually answer the five Ws (What, Why, Who, Where, and Which). Writing specific objectives fleshes out your goal so you can easily identify what you want to accomplish.
Measurable: If your goal isn’t measurable, there will be no way to know if you’re making progress. You need to address the question, “How will I know when this is accomplished?”
Attainable: Your goal must be something that you can realistically attain. I would love to fly like a bird by jumping off a cliff with no parachute, but gravity would have the last word in that interaction. However, learning to jump off a cliff with a hang glider is more realistic.
Relevant: If your goal doesn’t mean anything to you, then it isn’t worth pursuing. Tie your goals to your deeper values to give them more meaning. Make sure you are behind the goal 100% so you stay motivated to achieve it.
Time Bound: You need to have a deadline. Otherwise it’s just a dream that never becomes reality. Putting down a deadline makes you more committed to bringing it to fruition.
Spend more time with my family: 1. Coming back home at 18:30 at least 3 times a week 2. Don’t work on Weekends 3. Not check my emails on family time
A well set goal:

If the goal doesn’t work - change it
Every second is unique and holds the potential to be everything and nothing at the same time.
The fact that you are one thing at this second, doesn’t mean you have to be consistent in the next second.
Every second, you get the chance to reinvent yourself
