How to Set Goals With a Worksheet?
1. Decide what it is you want to achieve. For example, if you want to own your own business, write that down. 2. Describe your goal. If you want to own a business by summer, name a specific date and write down the name of the business and how much money you will need to put away to start your business.What is the Purpose of Setting Goals?
Goals are ideas, dreams, ambitions and accomplishments
that a person is reaching for. Some goals are for the near future and
some are what are known as long term goals. The purpose of goal setting
is to set a standard for yourself. Give yourself a mark to measure your
progress by and to push yourself to reach. Goals breed ambition and

Train your brain. Any skill worth having requires
practice. Learning to focus is no different. Invest time in mastering
attention training or meditation — both are great ways to practice
taming distractions and improving focus.
What's the payoff? You'll not only get more done but also enjoy more flow — when you're so absorbed in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. Flow creates a sense of fulfillment and engagement and, yes, even contentment.
Screen out distractions. Start by turning off the TV, putting down your phone and logging out of email. Not convinced it'll help? Try this experiment: Eliminate noncritical screen time for two days and see how much more you get done.
Plan for highs and lows. Are you a morning person? Then don't squander that time on email. Instead use it to tackle projects that require your full concentration. Low energy in the afternoon? That's the time to go through your inbox or catch up on your filing.
Put it out of your mind. Too many mental notes make for a cluttered mind. All that unfinished business saps your mental energy. So dump it. Put whatever's on your mind on paper or capture it digitally. Think of it as off-site storage.
