3 Non-conventional Methods of Goal Setting to try in 2024

ARTICLE

55 days until 2024! 

You will start hearing phrases like - ‘New Year, New me!’, ‘This year is my year!’

And so on!

Until - mid February 2024 and that’s it!

People will be back to their old self, goals and resolutions tossed out of the window, already.

And that is not going to happen to you, because you are going to make 2024 as your year, achieving goals and turning them into reality.

I am giving you 3 non-conventional methods of goal setting to try in 2024:

Method

1. Anti-Goals:

Requirements: Blank piece of paper, pen.

This is a simple method and has only 3 steps.

1. Draw a vertical line down the middle of a blank piece of paper.

2. On left side, write things you want to change, avoid or eliminate

3. On the right side, write an anti-goal which can be an action, solution or method to solve the problem written on the left side of the line.

2. Micro Goal:

Imagine you set a goal to lose 10 kg in 5 months -  it is overwhelming, right?

It looks hard and impossible for your subconscious.

Now, how about you set a micro goal about losing half a kg (500 grams) per week?

Sounds easy? Sounds achievable? Cool..

Losing half a kilogram (500 grams) per week will result in losing 1 kilogram in 2 weeks and 2 kilograms in a month.

And if we do the math, you will lose 10 kg in 5 months straight. 

That is the power of micro-goals. They help you achieve your goals without inducing anxiety or stress.

Micro-goals enable you to focus on short-term objectives, leading to the accomplishment of long-term targets. Fair enough?

3. Set an annual theme

Have you started thinking about 2024, yet? 

What will be your primary focus this year?

Pick a particular area of your life as your theme - is it your health? Your career? Your business? Your relationship?

Think about it! 

Why am I suggesting that you set an annual theme for 2024?

The straight answer is - Focus.

Imagine dedicating an entire year of focus to a particular area of your life.

Consider the progress you can make with this focus.

However, that doesn't mean you should ignore other areas of your life. Just that you will have a razor-sharp focus on enhancing that particular area of your life for the entire year.
