5 things that may interfere with your goals

 The sun is out!

Hope your day is as cheery as the sunshine this beautiful day!

On my website, I have written about goal setting a number of times. The need to set short, mid- and long term goals is not debatable. Neither is the wisdom in setting SMART goals in dispute.

We set goals in areas such as career, education, health, finance, leisure, relationship, religious/spiritual, etc

Setting goals is only a part of the process. It is only after goals are accomplished that we receive the success package.

It is true that accomplishment lists are more gratifying than 

to-do lists.

What stops you from transforming your to-do list into accomplishment list? A whole lot of things!

Let’s briefly look at 5 of them:

1.        Lack of discipline.

2.       Distractions/Poor time management

3.       Family and friends needing a lot of your time

4.       Your goals may not be SMART, after all

5.       Personal problems affecting your motivation or ability to work towards set goals.

What are some other reasons why we find it difficult keeping up with our goals?
