RR#089 Step into 2024 with a clear plan. Here’s how.

Dec 31

Tomorrow kicks off another year.

Some of you are starting the year with a clear plan. You’ve reflected on how far you’ve come, set your goals for the upcoming year, and plugged those into a system you’ll use to monitor and measure progress.

Kudos to you if you're in that camp.

But some of you aren’t.

You’re starting the year without any clear targets to hit, which makes it pretty unlikely that you’ll hit the ones that matter most.

That’s how you end the year in the exact same place you began - again and again.

No bueno.

There are two big reasons to make properly setting goals a priority.

1. More Fulfillment From Your Work

Fulfillment comes from the feeling of making progress towards a meaningful goal.

That's why I believe “burnout” is generally misunderstood.

It’s not long hours and hard work that cause it.

It’s the lack of feeling like you're making any progress with all the work you’re putting in.

Clear goals make it easier to see and measure progress, which makes it easier to get satisfaction and fulfillment from all your efforts.

2. Better Planning

Just like you can’t build an accurate roadmap without a destination in mind, you can’t build a realistic plan without a goal.

The goal serves as your guiding star, providing direction and purpose to your actions.

It helps you prioritize tasks, allocate resources, and make informed decisions.

Without a clear goal, you may find yourself drifting aimlessly and struggling to make progress.

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to review how far you’ve come, determine where you'll be 12 months from now, and build a plan to make damn sure you get there.

Need a simple framework to set your targets and make all your big moves next year intentionally?
