Focus on Goals: Day 4 – Wake Up Calls

Lo and behold, you might actually have a life that complicates the pursuit of your core goals! However, in order to achieve them you must stay focused, connected, and accountable to them. This holds especially true when you aren’t able to actively take steps towards them at any given moment due to your job, activities or responsibilities.

Here are 5 simple and useful ways to remind yourself to take a moment to reconnect with your goals.

1. A very common reminder: a rubber band or odd bracelet on your wrist.

2. Set your wrist watch or cell phone to alarm (vibrate) at an odd interval or once a day. Pull out your “And so it is” paper, or just simply take a moment to work on your life script in your head.

3. Install a reminder on your computer. There are several for PC’s http://www.024h.com/, or have your iCal set up a reminder on your Mac. Write something positive and productive on this pop up.

4. Write a reminder or positive vibe-ology and send it to yourself via email. The site http://www.futureme.org/ allows you to set up future emails. Become accountable to yourself and monitor your progress by checking in. If you have a particular goal to finish in 2 weeks, set that email to arrive a few days before the deadline.

5. Become accountable to others. Share some of your goals with a few friends. Ask them to check in via email or phone call on a regular basis and ask just one question, “ How are your goals coming?”
