#3.5 of the 3.5 Changes for next year!

3.5 “Get” Reminded: What I mean by “get” reminded is that perhaps you shouldn’t try to go at it alone this year in staying on task and accomplishing your goals, perhaps it may be wise to “get” some help. Here’s what I found (accidentally) that works great for me: my girlfriend Mary knows what all of my goals are and will from time to time simply ask me how they’re coming along. At first I took offense to it because I felt that she didn’t trust me to actually get them done, (and if you’ve been reading this article you understand why!) but she was genuinely interested in helping me. Once I understood what she was doing and how beneficial it really is, I asked her to continue to do that every so often -and it’s been great for me all year. I have someone who knows what’s most important to me and is willing to help. So who do you have that will help remind you of what you’re striving for? Got help?

Here’s how it works: Be sure that you “get” someone you trust and interact with often- a coworker, a good friend, your spouse, etc. and “get” them to remind you of your goals! And conversely, if you are that someone who reminds a good friend of their goals, you’ll be much more likely to stay focused on achieving your own!
