Organize Your Goals and Priorities 
Go For The Goal by Barb Friedman I love it when the team I’m rooting for scores a touchdown! What a thrill, what a great feeling, what a high! What does this have to do with organizing? Everything! I also love it when I have completed a task, reached a goal, and used my time effectively. I get that ‘rush’ feeling, the adrenaline is pumping. It would be nice to feel that way most of the time. Is that possible? You bet it is. It’s all about setting goals and implementing the necessary procedures to achieve the end result, just like a touchdown. In football, the players work as a team. They plan each play, make decisions based on weaknesses or strengths of their opponents,and determine the best use of their turn in order to get closer to the goal. Sometimes their plan doesn’t work the way they thought it would. They have to huddle together and re-evaluate. Why didn’t it work? How can they overcome that now? What can they do to make the best use of their next turn? Teams participate together and become accountable to each other. That is powerful. Accomplishing your goals requires the same framework. First you must identify what your goals are in each area of your life. You will have personal, career, relationship, health, financial, and family goals. Take some time to consider what you have listed and determine which rank as highest priority. You may have 3 or 4 ‘top’ choices. Break each goal down into small tasks. What needs to be done in order to reach each goal? Make a plan. Try to eliminate any obstacles in your path. As you begin your journey, you will have to re-evaluate like our football team. Some things will go as planned and yet others will need to be revised due to certain circumstances. Share your goals with someone. When you become accountable to another person, it solidifies your dreams. Goals need to be measurable, attainable, and well- defined.Often times we do not achieve the desired results because our goal is too vague. Be as specific as possible. Set a time frame, schedule the small tasks in your planner and go for it. A touchdown is the result of the team crossing the goal line; a goal is a dream with a deadline.
