Goal of the Week #9 Clean your In-Box

March 25, 2013 By

gold starThis week’s goal: Clean out your In-Box! Of course, you should also Spring Clean your home … that goal is coming soon. But now is the perfect time to look through your inbox, read and respond to any lingering emails, and unsubscribe to any email lists that are no longer relevant. Most days, email seems like a bottomless pit. Bite the bullet and get through it once and for all. This will save you a ton of time … time you can then spend working on your projects!

What’s your number? How many emails did you go through today?

Goal of the Week #8 Your Beta Project

March 18, 2013 By

gold starThis week’s goal: Spend some time with an alternate project. We all have projects that fall by the wayside. This week, spend an hour or so revisiting an old project: article, marketing plan, product in progress, etc. You may reignite a spark of creativity and motivation. Or you may be able to use something from that experience to put towards a current project. Either way, it’s always nice to revisit an old “friend.” Even if you end up putting it away and revisiting again at a later date.

What project are you working on this week?

Goal of the Week #7 Relocate

March 11, 2013 By

gold starThis week’s goal: Relocate … well, just for a few hours. Do you normally work at home? Why not try working at a local cafe for a few hours this week. Do you already have a favorite cafe? Maybe it’s time to test out a new one. Sometimes all you need to get out of a rut or a shot of motivation is to mix up your surroundings.

Where are you working – that’s different that your norm – this week?

Goal of the Week #6 Start & Finish Something

March 4, 2013 By

gold starThis week’s goal: Start and finish a project. Many of our short-term goals – and all of our long-term ones – take much longer than a week to complete … and sometimes that finish line seems an impossible distance away. This week, choose a project or task you can start and then finish. That sense of completion will keep you motivated, so you can stay focused and finish your more challenging – and more time-consuming – projects!

So what project will you complete this week?

March 2013 Goals

March 1, 2013 By

It’s March already. And in Los Angeles it’s 80 degrees, so it feels like summertime. Nope, half the year hasn’t scooted by – just the first two months of it.

At the beginning of every month it’s helpful to take an inventory of what you have accomplished, and plan next month’s goals accordingly. Don’t get discouraged about what you haven’t done, be encouraged by what you have … and then get set to take next month by storm!

Feel free to post your goals in the comments. You can even post your accomplishments too! Good luck!
