How to accomplish your biggest goals!

Doing this will help you achieve more of your goals!

For years I would set goals each January, and for years I would fall short of achieving them. 

I would usually start each year with the best intentions and an OCD-level focus on my goals. I'd begin to make some progress and feel unstoppable at first, but by February, I'd fall behind on most of my dreams. Then, March rolled around, and I would be back to snoozing my alarm, eating chips every day, and afraid to even think about my goals. 

I failed to stick with my goals for years until I decided to do something different. I started asking myself six questions each morning to help keep me laser-focused on my goals.

Since implementing these daily questions, I have made more progress toward my goals than in any previous year. I started running five times a week, doing Yoga every day, taking my family on monthly trips, and growing my relationship with my wife. I also developed and delivered personal development workshops to students in my community. 

Today I want to show you how to take the goals you've set for yourself and ask yourself six questions each morning to ensure that you stay focused and make regular and consistent progress on your objectives.

What goals are you currently working towards?

Write a list of your goals each day. Doing this will help you keep them on your mind throughout the day.

What is on your schedule today?

Taking time to write down everything on your calendar daily will help ensure you don't miss any important meetings or appointments. You will often find that there are meetings on your calendar for that day that you no longer need or want to attend. Feel free to cancel them!

What are your Big 3 things to do?

Prioritizing your list of tasks will help you prevent procrastination. Limit your top priority items to 3 at most. Ideally, try to focus on 1 or 2 big items a day.

What Else To Do today?

List the rest of the tasks that need to get done that day. Aim not to touch this list until you complete your top priority items.

What is taking up space in your mind?

Ask yourself this question to clear out anything that came up while listing your daily tasks. Think of this as a quick mental memory dump.

What would make today excellent?

Here you set your intention for the day. Visualize and emotionalize what an excellent day would look like and write it down.
