The 365 Commitment

Day 172 – Spending Time on Goals

Seriously, I just have to force myself to take time away from everything else and focus on goal setting, creating objectives and key results. Although, I have done this in spurts, it really has not been a complete exercise. Consequently I am not fully committed because I have this excuse floating around in the back of my mind that I need to complete the goal process before I can start. Well, day 180 is looming and I will not have a choice but to commit.

Day 180 is significant because that is the second 90 day interval, and pretty much half way through my 365 Commitment. The focus of my commitment was in large part to become more focused, to know where I wanted to spend my time, and to have the power and passion to achieve the results that I wanted.

Time to get serious about goal setting!
