Episode 76 - Quarterly Review

End-Of-Quarter Reflection  “If you play it safe in life, you’ve decided that you don’t want to grow anymore.” Shirley Hufstedler   To live a Well-Life, planning your life effectively and achieving your goals is important. Begin by identifying your core values and vision. Next, set SMART or SMARTER goals—those that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. And the ER stands for Elevate & Revise.    Purpose for Q1 Reflection:    Check in on your short-term goals and, as a result, make actionable plans for Q2.   Questions to ask yourself   What were your biggest wins? Celebrate the wins! What worked, what didn’t and why?  What do you need to change? What challenge did you overcome?   How did this past quarter go for you? What are you most proud of from this past quarter? What was the most challenging part of this quarter? What was the easiest? What strategies worked best for you? What's one thing you'd like to improve?   Q2 - You need to set clear goals that are measurable and achievable.  This means breaking down your goals into smaller action steps that you can take to move closer to your objectives.   Here is a quick review of the SMART and SMARTER acronyms:   Specific Defining your goals precisely increases your chances of accomplishing them. Set very specific, highly detailed goals because goals are simpler to reach when they’re crystal clear.  Measurable Tracking progress toward your goal with numbers helps keep you laser-focused. Achievable You increase your chances of success by creating goals you can achieve and attain.  Relevant/Risky Relevant in the SMART acronym means aligning your goals with what provides more motivation and urgency because people work harder when goals matter to them personally. Time-bound By making goals time-bound, you prevent procrastination. Framing goals as time-bound provides a sense of urgency and the opportunity to schedule the steps toward your ambitions.  Some goal-setting systems use two other letters in addition to the SMART acronym—ER for Evaluated and Revised. Or Exciting and Relevant. Evaluated At the end of the SMART process, you either achieve your goal or you don’t. Either way, looking at what factors contribute to the outcome helps you use failures as a springboard to success. Evaluating also helps you see what you did right so that you improve performance the next time you set similar goals. Revised Once you evaluate and see what went right and wrong, you have opportunities to fix problems and expand on successes. Revising and refining your objectives also keeps you aligned with overall goals and boosts relevancy as times and conditions change.
