Goal Gone Wild!!! – Goal Setting Mistakes

Goal setting can go wrong for the following reasons:• Goals are set unrealistically high.

– When a goal is perceived to be unreachable, no effort will be made to achieve it.

• Goals are set so low that you feel no challenge or benefit in achieving the goal. – You begin to feel that setting goals has been a waste of time.

• Goals are so vague that they are useless. – It is difficult to know when vague goals have been achieved.

• Goal Setting is unsystematic, sporadic and disorganized. – In this case certain goals will be forgotten

• Too many goals that aren’t given priority may be set, leading to a feeling of overload. – Remember that you deserve time to relax and enjoy being alive and not solely

focused on your goals and achievements.

Time Management

• Time is the point or period at which things occur• There will always be 24 hours in a day. Since you can’t

change time, change the way you use your time to maximise results. Time management is about changing behaviors over time.

• Time that is lost can never be regained.• Time does not wait for anyone.

Understanding Time

Chronos (Chronometer): A point in time at which things occur, i.e. Time of day, etc

Kairos: A Season in which similar things occur, i.e. Summer, etc

For many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the

causes – Vilfredo Pareto

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under

the heaven – Bible (Eccl. 3:1)
