Living a planned life | Fola Daniel Adelesi, ASM, ACL, Wcc
December 1, 20101.) The only way to have great results in life is to live a planned life (Simple or general plans).
2.) Every stage of your life needs to be planned through decisions and goal setting.
3.) What is a plan? It is your guide for how an action would be taken or your details of what to do, where to do it and how to do it.
4.) A goal is a target for what you desire to accomplish.
5.) Just as we have established that decisions are products of thoughts, we must know that plans are products of decisions.
6.) Simple planning often involves planning for the immediate just general plans may involve planning for the future and usually for a long time (planning a day, a week or month is a good place to start.)
7.) For plans to work you must have goals. What’s your goal for today? What’s your weekly goal? What would you have achieved at the end of each month and each year? You can plan to be a doctor but you should have goals to make it happen.
8.) Setting goals and following them will help us to achieve results and gradually see our life plans become real.
9.) Remind yourself of your goals by having postcards in your room, toilet, kitchen and every other place where you can easily see them. The goals that are seen very often will become a part of you and can be easier to achieve.
10.) The way to plan your life is to set goals that put demand or pressure on your skills and ability to make sure that you become productive (Example of demand is to set a goal to have 7 articles every week if you can write or 7 speech outlines if you like to talk. It could be practicing daily with football, basketball, piano, guitar or saxophone.)
