Action To Goals

Bringing purpose and action to your goals
Many times I hear people struggling on how to bring longer term goals to short term actions.

The conflict seems to constantly be that short term threats and obligations 'get in the way' or 'consume all my time'.

So what gets in your way? If you map out your next week what time do you have left or can you carve out that helps you towards your long term purposes or goals?

A suggestion -Make a list of the following for next week:

Threats - what you have to do or life or relationships will end or you cannot take your focus off of it - i.e. Impending job loss, serious illness of a family member or friend, etc

Obligations - what do you need to do to keep the reputation or lifestyle you want - i.e. Commitments to service and action for family, friends, your job.

Once you have these listed and time commitments known for next week what things can you do around these and what actions are you willing to take to reduce these so you can take other actions towards your long term goals?
