In line with
Let's set 3) Goals
For along the way
Since it's *our* project
It's OK to iterate
In and between
These big 3 at any time
First and foremost
We "report"
And are accountable
To ourselves
A general best practice
For creating goals
Is to make them
SMART:
* Specific
* Measurable
* Action-Oriented
* Realistic
* Time-Related
First and foremost
It won't hurt for those goals
To be smart
Themselves :P
If it serves a purpose
We can break
Those goal rules
As well
For example
We can set an unrealistic goal
To find new ways
Towards a real breakthrough
To assess progress
Let's check-in regularly
More so in the beginning
While we find our path (and ourselves?!)
Maybe first
Per practice session
Then weekly
Then monthly
Then
As we develop an overall structure and mindset
Maybe quarterly?
Per season?
2x per year
Would probably be the minimum
To avoid losing
Focus
At that time
Be open to
Break something
In the established structure or mindset
Through goal cycles
We can ingrain the search
For something new
What’s temporarily uncomfortable
For
Little
And big
Breakthroughs
That shift to an overarching mindset
To a life style
Can replace goals
To a certain extent
Well chosen
Big goals
Can become
Our life's milestones
Probably good also if
Managing goals
Doesn’t become
Overly obsessive
In other words
We're still in control
To switch a constant goal hunt
Off :)
If we ever need
Or want
A break from goals
That's fine too
Maybe set a reminder
To consider picking up the effort later
With a reference to the work already done
And where we left off?
