Tips on Setting Goals: Crucial Things To Remember When Setting Goals
By Michael Lee

There are thousands of sites providing tips on setting goals these days that it's difficult to figure out which of them work and which don't. The countless 300-page self-help books don't exactly help you narrow them down either.

However, here is an article that highlights three effective tips on setting goals. These tips won't only help you set goals effectively; they will also help you become more disciplined, positive and organized!

One of the first tips on setting goals is finding a quiet place where you can think clearly. A busy café or a noisy classroom certainly won't help you figure out what you want to achieve in life. It is also advisable to avoid distracting elements like your mobile phone. Try not to take calls during this time and concentrate instead on setting your goals.

It is also practical to categorize your goals into short term, medium term and long term goals. A short term goal is something you can achieve in 12 months or less. Consequently, a medium term goal is something that can be accomplished in 2-3 years. And lastly, a long term goal is something that takes four years or more to be accomplished. The lesson here is to set goals which are realistic and practical. This way, you can focus on your goals properly and have a higher probability of completing them.

Another tip on setting goals is to create a list of goals and post it on your wall or locker. This helps you in numerous psychological ways. According to many experiments done by experts and universities, seeing your scheduled goals every single day triggers psychological urgencies that help you concentrate on what you want to achieve. Not only will you be constantly reminded of these goals, you will also develop a strong faith in your own success.

These tips on setting goals don't require you to make impossible leaps and bounds. They only encourage you to put more effort into organizing your life. By clearing your mind, being realistic and positive, you will be able to set your goals more effectively!
