MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE GOALS ARE: Well-defined, Quantifiable, Time-bounded.
BE REALISTIC, GIVEN THE MANY DEMANDS ON YOUR ENERGIES
TRANSLATE THOSE GOALS INTO ACHIEVABLE SHORT-TERM OBJECTIVES
PUT THE EMPHASIS ON GOALS WITHIN YOUR CONTROL RATHER THAN THOSE DETERMINED BY THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS
LIST WHEN YOU WILL: Re-evaluate your goals, measure progress, and set new objectives.
PUT LIMITS ON GOALS: TIME, CALLS, EFFORTS, TRIALS.
REWARD YOURSELF WHEN YOU ACCOMPLISH GOALS. Who else will acknowledge your achievements, but you.
