Increasing the visibility of your goals

Everyone knows they need clearly-defined goals; What they don’t realize is that the power of goals isn’t in creating them; it’s in reviewing them. 

When most people create goals, they write them down, stow them away, and promptly forget about them. They let the urgency of day-to-day operations distract them from dynamic growth and, before they know it, six motivation-less months have passed.

Your long-term goals (North Star Objectives, as we call them at Mind maven) should be so visible they’re consistently top-of-mind. If they’re not, they won’t be completed; it’s as simple as that.

Here are two ways to increase the mind share of your goals:

1. Create a morning routine

Begin every day by reviewing your North Star Objectives. There’s no “right” way to do this. You might meditate on them, write them down, read them aloud, or envision them as already complete; as long as you feel empowered and motivated by the end, you’re starting your day off right.

2. Integrate your goals into your task management system

The biggest goal-killers are to-do lists. It’s easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day operations of your business that you go days, weeks, or even months without thinking of the future. Counter this tendency by giving your long-term goals a constant spot at the top of your task management system.

In the end, remember this:

Your goals are only as powerful as the mindshare they occupy.

If you want to turn them into reality, they need to be a part of every aspect of your life.
