Action Plan: proposed targets for self-development with justification of how they might be achieved.
One of the most difficult obstacles in achieving personal self-development is the lack of a good action plan. It is not a difficult task, but requires learning to be efficiently executed. The result should be an effective practise to reach my goal. This is done by the inclusion of an Action Plan, which will assist in reaching my goal and narrow my focus and drive to achieve that goal. To enable me to create an Action Plan, I first need to list particulars of thing needed to do to accomplish my goal. This is done by identifying my objectives and prioritising them, setting objectives which are achievable and identifying the steps needed to achieve them, being able to work under pressure, working to a deadline and having contingency plans. By having an effective action plan, I will be able to set a time table and have defined work strategies. This will give me direction rather than wondering what to do next. It will help me focus and provide me with a solution to “Where do I go from here?” The inclusion of S.M.A.R.T. targets will assist in categorising my goals. This Acronym has the following meaning – S: Specific – Giving each goal detail and not being vague. M: Manageable - Not setting myself unreasonable goals. A: Achievable – Asking, can I accomplish these targets? R: Realistic – Are my goals practical? T: Time-bound – Putting a clear deadline on goals.
