Goals 2026

…continuing from yesterday…

A final remark. You have your goals. You have the will. But where do you find the time to do them? The answer is the timetable. It worked at school, it worked at college. And it will work for the medley of things you wish to achieve in 2026.

Create a matrix of topics intersecting with days and apportion your projects. Magic: turn up at the appointed day and time.

Go create that timetable.

Goals, 2026

…continuing from yesterday…

Now review each of the six sheets of paper in turn and identify one goal from each. Just one goal. And how do you choose? By ease? Nope, by highest pay-off. By return on your investment.

Once identified-and identify one for each compass point-break it down into brain and time friendly pieces.

And finally schedule these in your calendar. Ensure a couple start before the 1st January for some early success.

Go prepare for success.

Goals, Change and 2026

…picking up from yesterday…..

You need six blank sheets of paper. Head them: career, health, finances, relationships, fun, contribution.

Start a timer for ten minutes and write as much as you can-bullets, sentences, pictures-under each heading answering the question: what must change here?

At the end of ten minutes, stop but feel free to add thoughts and ideas as and when. We will continue tomorrow.

Go storm.

Goals, Change and 2026

If your thoughts are turning from food shopping lists to lists of goals and changes you really wish to make this year, stay tuned. Over the next few days we’ll do some gentle and achievable work to ensure you are up-and-running for the New Year. You might today put aside a sharpened pencil and a small stack of blank printer paper.

Meanwhile, go walk, go read some fiction and go drop some thank you notes in the post.
