Goals that pull you forward...

On the wall in front of my desk was a big sheet of paper, full of Post-Its with future business goals, projects and tasks - the bigger stuff, stuff that will take years to work through. It was supposed to act as a reminder to keep working and stay focused, but it became a source of tension and stress - a constant reminder of how much there is to do, and how much of it I haven’t done yet. So I took it down and transferred the contents to a page in my notebook - ready for when I need it, out of sight when I don’t.

If they’re the right goals they won’t need constant reminders - if they’re not, then no amount of coloured Post-Its can ever change that….
