Transcription of The 90 Day Goal Setting Worksheet
1 The 90 Day Goal Setting Worksheet If you are not accomplishing everything you d hope to, it comes down to two reasons: of clarity broken focus . Setting 90 day goals gives me clarity on the path that s already been illuminated before me. The #1 enemy to you not accomplishing your dreams is broken focus. Step #1: Establish your 90 day game plan If you are just getting started in Setting 90 day goals, then just set 3 to 5 goals and go for it. If you want to take your goal Setting to the next level, then use the model I learned from Todd Herman, the creator of the 90 Day Year Program. The following tips are a combination of Todd s advice and my own experience.
2 Choose less than five outcome goals When I first started Setting 90 day goals, I set 10 15 goals. Honestly, it was way too ambitious for a 90 day time period. I recommend you keep it down to 3 5 goals at most. Also, be sure they are outcome driven. In other words, they achieve a desirable result in some way. My outcome goals go on a whiteboard so I can see them daily. Set a few performance goals for each outcome goal You have probably heard what gets measured, gets done. This is what a performance goal establishes. Keep it simple here, but set a few performance goals that allow you to see how you are doing in achieving your outcome goal.
3 I have a handful I check every Friday. My performance goals go under my outcome goals on my whiteboard. Brainstorm process goals (tasks) that support your outcome goal Who is going to do what, when? This is the process level. You have achieved ultimate focus when what you do daily connects directly back to your outcome goal. My process tasks go in my to do system so I know what still needs to get done. My 90 Day Outcome Goals Write 2 to 5 outcome goals you d like to accomplish in the next 90 days . Choose goals that can get done in 90 days and no more than 5. Ex. Earn $10,000 in online business revenue by July 1st.
4 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. My first performance goal for each outcome goal would Here you will select a performance goal (something you can accomplish or improve in the next 1 2 weeks) for each outcome goal. Ex. I will publish one new blog post this week by Wednesday. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. My process goals will Your performance goal won t happen until you establish the when, where and what. Go ahead and set some now. Ex. I will go to Starbucks Tuesday morning between 7:00 8:00 to write my blog post. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Step #2: Spend the first hour of each workday on your 90 day game plan I ve written about my morning process before in a blog post called Do Creative Work first .
5 The basic summary is you should spend the first hour of your day doing your creative work. Creative work is what only you can do that drives your business or projects forward. Many of us start our day in social media and email. Doing so pulls you into reactive work. Reactive work is when we get pulled into other people s agendas and pulled away from our most important goals. Developing the habit of focus sessions first thing in the morning will allow you to build in process goals into your routine. That s it! Now, you are ready to get rolling and get more done!
