From the author: This article outlines approaches that will help you decide on your priorities. What follows is the process of achieving the goal. The original article is posted on the website. Many people say that they have definitely decided to change their life and do everything possible to turn it in a successful direction. Many people especially experience such a rise after successful personal growth training. On this positive wave, a person analyzes the path traveled and realizes that many things should have been done differently than before. He decides to set real goals for himself and... But this is where many stop at a loss, asking the question “What do I want to achieve? What are the most important and real goals for me?” At this moment, a stop may occur, which will stretch into the next training, or even transform into the conclusion that let everything remain as it is. Just at this stage of uncertainty, a hint will be very appropriate how to approach goal setting. It is quite possible that confusion has arisen due to the fact that a person simply does not know which side of his life to devote attention to first. Or, on the contrary, he is ready to rush in one direction and worries about everything else. In such cases, you can use one of the approaches to setting goals. In philosophical terminology, one of them can be represented as “from the particular to the general,” and the second “from the general to the particular.” Psychological practice calls the first approach concentration on goals, and the second - harmonization of goals. Both approaches crystallize those goals that a person is ready to begin to achieve and push them to further actions - which is where their special value lies. But, everyone is free to use the approach that is closer to them. Concentration on the goal A strategy based on concentration is more convenient to use when you have a priority direction in which you want to move forward. You see the guiding star-goal you are striving for, break it down into current sub-goals, set deadlines for their achievement and mobilize yourself for active action. To prevent other important components of your life from getting stuck, they need to be pulled up. To do this, perform the following analysis at least once a month. Write down the important directions of your life. It is permissible to determine their number at your own discretion, the main thing is that professional activities (or studies) and personal life, financial well-being and personal achievements, health, recreation and communication are covered. Some of these areas, as already noted, are a priority for you, and you will devote most of your time to it. For all other areas, outline the tasks you will complete this month. But don’t just formulate and write them down, set deadlines and actually implement them. Some of these tasks you will solve in passing during the month, you will find time for others, perhaps with some frustration, but they will not require your undue attention. But not one of your vital areas will remain forgotten or sudden problems will fall on your head. In fact, you will ensure almost continuous adherence to your main goal and focused attention to all other aspects of your life. Harmonization of goals If your soul is striving for success, but If you don’t yet know how to realize yourself, start by analyzing all areas of your own life. We are again talking about health and work, about study and personal life, about material security and communication, about recreation and hobbies - about everything without which a person cannot exist. Think over and write down goals for each of the listed areas that are important to you. Analyze which of these goals could lead to improvements in several other aspects of your life. Focus your efforts on this goal and check in the process whether there are positive changes in your entire life. When the goal is achieved, again consider the entire balance of life, determine the next one and step by step ensure it
