Focus on setting daily goals to achieve success with your long term goals in life, love and business. These tips will help you move closer to success.
I’m not quite ready to share the long-term goal that’s in place, but it will be shared in time. For now, I’d simply like to say that there is a long-term goal in mind. It will start in the spring season and develop further as we venture into warmer weather. The long-term goal is exciting and has many parts to it. The plan to get to this long-term goal was set in place not that long ago and discussed to its full extent many nights. I’m excited, to say the least!
With that being said, I found it difficult to focus on the long-term goal and my own part in making it happen when so many other things were being tossed in my face in the current moment. I felt like I couldn’t fully envision the long-term goal if I was constantly trying to do my part of this while struggling with the day to day demands of life.
That’s when I realized that I should probably set daily goals. Little did I know that this concept is actually “a thing”. Many people use daily goal setting to achieve the ultimate success – their long-term goal.
Daily Goal Setting: The Fast Track to Ultimate Success
What you give your subconscious thoughts to will become a priority. For example, if you think about problems all of the time, then the world will hand you more problems. If you choose to rewire your thinking so that you focus on goals, then the world will bring you more goals and success. I decided to dive in and give my subconscious some daily goals to focus on to put me on the fast track to ultimate success, and here’s how you can do the same:
Have a Target Long-Term Goal
You must have a long-term goal in mind before you set daily goals. This helps you to live in the moment in a way that helps better your future. The entire purpose behind setting daily goals is to set your subconscious on track to achieve the longer term goal that you’ve set for yourself and/or your family.
Make a Plan
Determine how much you truly can do in one day. Take into consideration your family needs, household needs, work needs and other areas that need your daily attention. Start to make a plan for daily goals that will enable you to accomplish them. Your plan will take into consideration how much time and energy you have to focus each day.
Set Priorities
This was hard for me because I am an overachiever by nature. I seem to think I can do more than my 37-year-old mind and body will allow. Your next step to setting daily goals is to set priorities as to what needs to be done each day in addition to what can be done to put you one step closer towards your long-term goal.
Analyze Results
You need to analyze your results. If you set your daily goals each morning, you’ll need to analyze the status of your daily goals at the end of the night. I personally have been setting my daily goal the night before, analyzing at night and then setting the next daily goal before bed. I do this in the form of a to-do list printed out and set on my desk.
Move Forward
As each daily goal is achieved, you’ll start to feel more motivation and positivity flowing through your body. It’s now time to see if you can add a secondary daily goal to your list that will help you advance even closer to your long-term goal. Always be realistic with your daily goals and know that daily goals can be different day to day.
These short term daily goals will help you focus on the current day, balance your world better, and in turn help you get on the fast track to ultimate success. I hope that you’ll read this and be inspired to set your own daily goals that will help you take each day forward towards your long-term goal.
Thank you for the wonderful insights. Indeed, small steps will eventually lead to big strides.
I started bullet journalling and a have a few pages dedicated to monthly/ quarterly and yearly goals. Planning my week ahead definitely keeps me more organised that I have ever been.
Very nice post and I really try to plan this in my life but due to some circumstances sometimes I break this chain. So now I don’t plan on daily basis but yes on monthly basis I do.
Wow! Everyone wants to get the success of their goals and this will help many people! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Daily goal setting is so, so important. Implementing that into my morning routine has made the biggest difference!
I totally agree with the importance of goal setting. Writing it down actually makes a difference.
Also, I make sure that my short term goals/ daily goals are all aligned with my long term goals.
