Because your brain can only focus on so much at one time, I suggest that you identify no more than three goals or habits to work on over the next three months. Jot down your three most important goals or areas of focus, and then underneath each goal write a description of the results you intend to achieve. Remember... trying to concentrate on more than three primary goals at a time can put your mind into overload.

Once you’ve stated your intentions, it’s time to get REALLY specific by identifying measurable goals to help you follow through with them.

Here’s how this works. One of the above intentions was to leave the office by 5 PM. In order to do that, I might determine that I need to be more productive at work. Here is how I get really specific about my measurable goals that will support me in following through with the intention to leave the office by 5 PM…

BE MORE PRODUCTIVE AT WORK

· Have a system in place to follow up on calls and letters in a timely way.

· Be on time or early for appointments. · Take journals & mail with me so I can catch up on my reading if I am early for an appointment. · Break larger tasks into smaller ones with deadlines assigned to each smaller task.

· Set realistic goals and deadlines for new projects and stay on task.

· Remind myself that when I say "yes" to one thing I am saying "no" to other things.

· Only say yes to what is important.

· Do weekly planning every Friday for the coming week.

In order to create new behaviors which will get and keep you at the enhanced level at which you wish to function, you may need support and an accountability partner. Identify whatever support you need in order to reach your goals, and then ask it.
