I dislike goal setting - here's a trick to get around it.
Friday, October 7, 2011 at 7:46AM I'm not a goal setter, but I need goals. I can't motivated by artificial deadlines I set myself. Why? Because I just move the due date!
However, creating real deadlines changes everything.
Here are two real deadlines I have created for the next two weeks.
1) This weekend I am competing in the Scott24hr Australian Mountain bike race in Canberra. It's real because I have to train (get fit), and commit to my three other team mates. It's all about forced commitment to exercise and not letting my team mates down.
2) Next weekend I'll be in the the U.S. for a Sales conference which requires quite some preparation. The conference is forcing me to re-brand my training and speaking business. It's accelerating development.
If you're like me, then try to find a real deadline which can be used to spur you along. For example, if you are a Manager struggling to work on your local marketing strategy, set the staff launch meeting in the next three weeks. To avoid embarrassment, you'll get it done.
Back to the bike race. I don't aim to win, as I'm competing against ex-Olympians. I aim to FINISH, not let the boys down, and have a great time. I'll let you know how it turns out.
