A speaker shares his system for tracking goals: a quarterly spreadsheet on his bathroom wall tied to annual targets, plus a bedside notebook with 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year goals he reviews weekly. He says this keeps short-term actions aligned with long-term plans and produces results, happiness, and the ability to help others.
Yeah, I, I can't tell you what a wonderful compass it is to have your goals written out where you can look at them every single day. I have mine charted out on my bathroom wall on a spreadsheet, and it's quarterly, and those quarterly goals are tied to my annual goal. And then I have a notebook that I keep next to my bed with my 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year goals on it. I read through that once a week. I make sure I'm still going the right direction because I'm not doing everything I need to do every week to get to that 1-year goal. I'm never going to make the 3-year, 5-year, 10-year goals. This is true. And this is why when you have the goal-oriented behavior, you get results. You're happy because you're where you want to be. And you're able to help and serve others at the same time because you're in a place of contentment. And if you're not, then you can change your goals. Absolutely.
