Smart Goal Settings for 2012
Smart Goal Settings for 2012
My idea of Smart Goal and Goal Setting for 2011 is a tough call. My list of top 5 goals is difficult but not impossible to achieve. Not for others but for me, they are tough. So why did I choose a list of goals that are difficult to stick to - because therein lies the challenge and to master the tough and complicated tasks.
If I am not choosing the right goals, I am neither coming out of my comfort zone nor realizing the full potential of my capabilities. So it is important for me that I do smart goal settings for 2012 and do not just pick up some trivial, nifty ideas that are here today and gone tomorrow.
In what ways are these goals helpful in achieving my long term goals as well?
Setting goals comprises of two parts. It is about setting short term goals and establishing the path for long term goals. We need to see small success, small milestones to achieve the greater milestone. That is the reason - I have chosen these short term goals to pursue my higher long term goals. And, it is important that you set your long goals too.
Did you ever read this book - When the going gets tough, the tough get going?
I would recommend this book to the fellow lensmasters which really helps - it keeps you going when the goings get tough.
Do you see this elephant who is raising its bar higher for meeting goals?
I want to be like it - raising the bars every time I meet a goal.
Smart Goal Settings for 2012
Meditate Regularly
Fitness and Health
High Quality Squidoo Lenses
Enhance Reading Skills
My Daughter's Career
Smart Goals from Amazon
Goal Motivation Setting
My first goal - Meditation
To Meditate Regularly- Art of Meditation

To meditate regularly
GOAL 1
Meditation means equanimity, acquiring a work-life balance so that it helps to control my temperament. I need to meditate regularly. I do meditation but I am not a regular meditator.
There are numerous benefits of meditating; and I believe it will certainly help me get rid of many ailments. Ailments are psychosomatic; many diseases are generated due to impurities in mind.
It is a simple fact that if I get angry, my blood pressure rises and my breathing becomes uneven. As a result I will be prone to many diseases. To be able to keep myself in control, I need to do Ana-Pana meditation in Vipassana. This is about how one should lead a good life - "The Art of Living".
The equanimity is good; good to keep the diseases at bay. Keeping a check to my invitation to chronic ailments is a must. I do Vipassana meditation and if you are interested, you can find more information here -

Smart Goal Settings
Goal Planning Setting
Should you use smart goals and goal planning setting?
Is smart goal settings important for living a meaningful life?

It is not required to set a goal at all.
MarkUpshaw says:
Living from the heart and following ones inner still voice is the best way to live. However, when it comes to business or any large endeavor, I need a road map or goals to help me get to the desired destinations.
moonlitta says:
I know western culture puts a great emphasis on goal setting. But leaving closer to the Orient I was not brought up and accustomed to set goals- I rather follow my instincts to where I need to be in life. Probably this is less effective but it works for me...:)
It is very important to set up a goal and it has to be smart - SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound)
whiteskyline says:
I believe so. I am relatively new to goal setting, although I am leaning towards this being very important.
Phillyfreeze69 says:
Yes, setting attainable goals teaches one to stay focus and patience.
One of my favorite sayings is "keep your eye on the prize"!
Great lens that has a lot of practical insight for goal setting and the ultimate reward when goals are met on an individual basis.
Tipi says:
Yes, that way we can know to make mid-coarse corrections or give ourselves a pat on the back.
Mujjen says:
Very important! We can miss out on a lot if we don't set goals.
ajgodinho says:
I think it's important to set SMART goals or SMARTER goals because they provide a sense of direction. Basically, it takes you through a process of specifics as well as things that are important and relevant to the person setting them. More importantly, it allows a way to track the progress. Ultimately, it's important to follow one's hear and one can definitely enjoy a balance of both.

goals setting theory
Planning is a necessary step and goal planning setting along with the activities on goal setting, ensures that you are on track and stick to it. It isn't just enough to set "Business goals or smart goals in education and career", it is necessary that you set goals for personal improvement too.
Failure is not bad but not attempting or not taking action is.

Second goal - Fitness

To Lose Weight and Remain Fit
GOAL 2
Fitness and exercise is heavenly for the body. I am made of two important entities - "Mind and matter". Meditation is required to keep my mind active and balanced whereas Yoga and breathing exercises are required to keep my body fit and healthy. A healthy mind lives in a healthy body.
Why yoga for fitness?
Yoga has the benefits of "Pranayama" - and the breathing techniques. It involves the purity, balance of food and thought. I am a vegetarian and this helps me to keep unhealthy and unwanted cholesterol away by retaining vegetarian food habits. Benefits of yoga are more evident if you are a vegetarian and take lot of fibers and fruits. This vegetarian habit helps me in checking my temptation to high fat content and resisting the tempting oily and spicy food.
Third goal - Raise My Limits on Squidooing for Financial Independence
Making Many More Quality Lenses on Squidoo
Making Many More Quality Lenses on Squidoo
GOAL 3
I joined Squidoo in 2009 but did not actively make lens for almost a year. I made some 7, 8 lenses and left it at that point. One fine day, I suddenly saw a small income of 0.02$ in my "Stats'. Oh boy! - Was I thrilled !!! I suddenly realized the potential of Squidoo. I got inspired by Giant Squids and the Giant Squids 100 club members.
At this juncture, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Squidoo and the community for the inspiration and motivation it has provide me. My addiction to Squidoo helped me what I am today - a Giant squid and a 100 club member. It would not have been possible had I not been addicted to Squiddoing amd making regular goals, planning the upcoming lenses.
it is important to mention the fact that - at some point of time I starting loving the Squidoo interface, since I knew some HTML and loved graphics I could make lenses easily. I started setting goals for myself. My first goal was to make 50 quality lenses for acquiring Giant Squid status.
I did not attain "Giant Squid" in my first attempt, did I get demotivated? -
Yes, for some time. I felt disappointed and frustrated but did not give up.
I relentlessly pursued my goal and became a Giant Squid in Sep 2010 after making around 90 quality lenses. And in Dec 2010, I became a 100 Squid member. I hope my story inspire the newbies who have joined Squidoo and I wish good luck to all those who inspire for Giant Squid.
Back to 2010, when I was making lenses my lenses could not attract traffic, I learned SEO and through lot of experimenting, trial and errors - got the hints of what can convert into sales. I am still learning.
In 2011, my aim is to cross 300 lenses for Squidoo lenses.

Fourth Goal - Reading
Reading Maketh a Man

Reading Makes a Man Perfect
GOAL 4
This is for self improvement, I believe reading makes a man. I love to read but am not getting enough time. I love English literature, fantasy, fictions and detective stuff. It also will build my English vocabulary and the flow of thoughts. I want to read good stuff and a lot of it. That means, I need to squeeze in time between my regular hours of looking after my family and pursuing my hobby of reading.
Reading will help me in achieving a long term goal of mastering several other things like programming, learning software language and non technical activities like gardening, music, cooking and making healthy recipes.
I love to read books on spirituality and meditation. So along with the practice, I will be able to understand the theory and principles better.
Fifth goal - Guidance and Career for My Daughter
To help my daughter in pursuing a good career

Time for Family and Commitment
GOAL 5
My daughter is in 12th standard and pursuing science for career. As a parent it is my duty to reinforce her ideas and give direction rather than imposing my beliefs and ideas of a good career. She is quite independent and wants to do her graduation in a hostel. Everybody at my home was opposed to this fact as Bangalore has some of the good colleges for science students.
However, my daughter wants to do it in a different place staying in a hostel independently. I need to convince myself and my family members that it can be a good choice as she is matured and capable to take her own decisions.
Sometimes, my daughter's leaving scares me of my loneliness but I have to cope and brave myself with this situation. I want to be a good parent by not putting obstacles in her way.
These are the lists of 5 important goals for 2011 and I am sure I will achieve them.

Make Success Measurable!: A Mindbook-Workbook for Setting Goals and Taking Action by Douglas K. Smith
"Performance begins with focusing on outcomes instead of activities. In my experience, most people in most organizations most of the time do the reverse.

Today's performance challenges demand outcomes-both financial and nonfinancial-that must simultaneously benefit customers, shareholders, employees, and management. Therein lies a cy...
