How to Create a Game Plan for Your Goals

● We all have objectives we want to hit

● Company goals >> Team goals >> Personal goals

● We hardly draw up a roadmap to reach our targets:

❏ Either we are overly ambitious

❏ We want to change everything at once

❏ We don't device a step-by-step game plan

● Changing your complete way of life is tough, and

doing it all at once is a sure road to failure

● Instead, try this approach:

Step 1: Have an enormous goal but break it down into one habit to start

● You want to achieve challenging goals. They

should be big and ambitious.

● The problem comes with the next step - as we

never break goals down

● You should not try to change your complete way

of life. Changing one part is much easier

● If you want to learn new programming language ,

or learn Agile process, or learn a project

database you need to think about breaking them

into small part.

● Bigger challenge is to change your habit. Example:

You need specific time of the day when you will

allocate to read or learn

● Decide on the one habit that will help you start

moving toward your goal, and do it every day

● According to scientists, it takes 66 days to turn an

action into a habit. An easy way to do this is to add

your habit in your calendar

Step 2: Master that one habit

● When you've mastered your first habit, the hard

work is over. Now you can start to add more

routines in your life that will get you closer to

your goal.

● Remember to still stay with one action at a time.

Our bodies will be overloaded if we try to take

on too many changes at once. Also make sure

that you keep the same focus on each new habit

you learn. Humans are not built for multitasking,

and trying to work on a change while checking

your email or texting won't work.

Step 3: Once mastered, add another habit
