6 Simple Tips on How to Stay on Task to Achieve Your Goals
Life will throw some unexpected curves in your journey. If we are not disciplined and have not the ability to adapt to unexpected changes, those unexpected situations will throw you for a loop. This race, called life, is not given to the swift, nor to the strong but to those who endure to the end. After I learned these 6 simple tips to help me to stay on task so that I can achieve my goals, my life went from default mode to design mode.
The ultimate tip to staying on task is to have discipline in your everyday life. If you are not disciplined, you life will feel rushed and out of control.

Tip #1- Establish your priorities.
What are your priorities? What things are important to you, in order? For me, my God come first, family second and my career and business comes last. Establishing a list of priorities will allow you to have some type of discipline in your life.

Tip #2- Establish your goals.
Ask yourself this question, "If you knew I could not fail, what would I do?" Where would you go? When would you do it? For your goals to be dynamic, you must make it specific. Establish a list of goals for your Spiritual/Personal life, Family life and Work/Business life. Having written goals will help you to succeed much quicker than those who do not take the time to write them down.

Tip #3- Manage your time wisely.
Managing your time wisely is so important when it comes to accomplishing the goals you have set. When you know what your priorities are and have specific goals set in place, you must set aside some time to work toward them. The reason you do not possess the things you want out of life right now is because you have been unwilling to sow the seeds of time and effort to produce them. Respect the specific time you have given for a specific task and you will reach your specific goal a lot faster.

Tip #4- Establish a plan to accomplish your goal.
If you do not have a plan, then you plan to fail.

    In life, to successfully move forward I need to establish goals. “The tragedy in life is not reaching your goal, but having no goal to reach” (Leadership for Student Activities, 2005). I must have a plan of how I will achieve my goals and be able to identify when an important element of that goal is reached. Possible setbacks must be considered and purposeful schemes arranged for when the unexpected shows up. According to Deci and Ryan (1984), “Goals, whether trivial, routine, significant or life altering, are part of peoples everyday lives”.…

    MY first strategy I think is very useful for my college career is one of my own “Setting Priorities”. Setting priorities is as clear as it sounds. This is useful for someone who seems to slack off in urgencies, and give in to less important concerns. For example I would have school, work, and soccer as my main priorities, but I would get distracted playing video games. I than set certain amount of time for my main priorities each week making it a schedule. I would set for school double the amount of class time as homework/studying time off the class. As work goes, it is the same weekly schedule which coordinates with my class meetings. For soccer I would train three times a week two hours a day. I set the time for my training after I’m done or on a break from my school work, and regular work. So after setting my priorities to a schedule I know what my other less urgent concerns are, such as video games, surfing the internet, hanging out a lot with friends. This strategy has helped me set my life to limit on certain things to accomplish and remember what my goals are. For instance, a day I was tired from work and did not want to go to train and started to play video games. One hour into it I realized that I was wasting my time on video games, when I could’ve been training for soccer, trying to accomplish my goal to make the 4 time…

    I look at everything in my life and ask myself questions about which ones are the most important. If something is getting in the way of my top priorities it has to be cut. I list things in order of importance and decide how much time I have and put them into that time and anything left needs to be removed from the list. Sometimes it’s hard to cut things you really want to keep but those are the decisions we have to make to keep ourselves in order.…

    Life Matters

    Everybody is concerned about work/life balance, but few understand that time and money are as important to life balance as work and family. Each area matters, and focusing on one without considering the others is ultimately unfulfilling because they are so closely interrelated. Even the term “balance” implies a one-time effort instead of an ongoing journey. In reality, a lack of balance is a misalignment of the principles that are important to you, and how you act with regard to them. It is possible that your expectations about work, family, time and money are unrealistic, and therefore you don’t see them properly. With unrealistic expectations, you do not act effectively, and you won’t get what you want. By examining your own experience, and seeking wisdom and inspiration, you can develop your navigational intelligence to optimize your life choices and stop wasting energy, money and time on issues and behaviors that are not important or that do not invest in the future. To truly make every aspect of your life matter, you must focus on those principles that are important and make decisions to live accordingly.…
