We make a lot of New Years plans and February comes only to break them. This can be a result of short-term thinking and setting unrealistic goals.
Strategic long-term planning allows you to personalize and shoot professional Achievable goals.
As we head into this new year, reflect on the resolutions you made for this year. Determine if they are available or not. Take some time to sit down with yourself to find out if those resolutions are truly serving you best and if you can set new ones.
The goals you set for yourself are meant to truly benefit you, not to fulfill what society thinks will make you happy.
Here are some ideas for successful destination planning
1. Short term visions to achieve big goals
If you start the year saying you’re going to achieve a vague or unmeasurable goal, it will likely be unattainable.
For example, tell yourself that this is the year you are going to write a book. It can be easy to go through the year dreading even starting the book.
Why? If you don’t finish it, it’s because of the feeling that you didn’t reach the goal.
Instead, tell yourself you’ll write one chapter a month this year. Or sign up for a writer’s workshop to fine-tune your ideas with others.
If you have a major life event that requires a lot of attention, set yourself a timeline of milestones so you stay on track.
If you can’t keep up, get help from others to get everything done on time.

2. Personal development
Take a moment to ask yourself some of the following questions:
Not all goals should focus on a specific reward or financial gain. Evaluating what other areas of your life you could use your attention on Help you feel more full A useful activity. Engaging in acts of service, taking up spiritual practice, or adding exercise to your daily schedule can all be rewarding in their own ways.
Help create long-term healthy lifestyle changes and allow yourself to set fun goals. Daily routines like journaling, painting, or crafting can help relieve stress, and most people fail to give themselves to them in their busy schedules.
Finding the time often seems like a limiting factor, but it is possible. For example, a commitment to daily exercise can extend your life and improve both your mood and sleep.
3. Continuing professional education
This year may be your vision for the promotion you have been looking forward to for years.
Set up Smart (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) goals will motivate you to move in the direction of realizing them.
If possible, set up a meeting with your supervisor to discuss your evolving direction with the company. See what you can do to get there.
Continuing your education in your professional field is one way to make yourself more competitive. This is gained by continuing to work in your current role.
Pursuing additional education can open up new opportunities and help expand your career options.
Making your goals a year-long process
You can set goals for the year even after the first month has come and gone. Ask yourself some thought-provoking questions to help you focus on your goals that will add value to your life.
Don’t make yourself unable to gain unnecessary stress. Write down realistic goals and enjoy checking them off throughout the year.
Get instant clarity on what you really want in life – and get it all
There’s a reason so many brilliantly gifted, naturally creative, intelligent and talented people never reach their potential, and it’s quite simply, lack of direction.
Even if you have a vague goal in mind, you need a plan, a process to get you there.
You can have the most expensive, fastest car in the world, but if you set off without a clear idea of where you’re going, a rusty old Beetle with a map and compass will beat you there every time.
