"Now" is the time

The foundation of good management - goal setting

The achievement of both personal and business goals can lead to a more meaningful life.

Goals should be specific and measurable, attainable, but challenging.

Take responsibility and control - don't simply react to demands, which will ultimately lead to negativity and frustration.

Break down goals into manageable chunks, especially larger or long term projects - these bite size pieces thus become goals themselves.

Identify the actions that you need to take, and timetable when and by whom they will be carried out.

Too often 80% of energy and time is wasted being driven by activities, and rushing around, which leads to just 20% of goals being achieved.

Don't always focus on the past or future - the journey to reaching your goals can be as interesting and enjoyable as actually accomplishing them - take pleasure from "NOW.
