This course will teach you how to achieve more in less time. By learning how to use SMART Goals you will gain a concise, structured method to help keep you motivated and on track. In the course, I will take you through how to ensure that your goals are;
- Specific
- Measurable
- Actionable
- Relevant
- Time Bound
In addition, throughout the course I provide a practical way for you to relate the SMART technique to your current goals as well as demonstrate my personal system for keeping on top of my goals. I also cover some of the most common errors people make when establishing their goals and I provide a bonus lecture on time management. Last, at the end of the course I give you the opportunity to answer a question to win a free course on the science behind productivity.
Topics in the course include, but are not limited to;
- The difference between a vision, goal or resolution.
- When setting specific goals can be a bad thing.
- Why I use Actionable instead of Achievable.
- The importance of Action/Feedback loops.
- How to juggle multiple goals at the same time.
