How Creating Daily Actions/Tasks Will Get You To Your Result Goal

This is part 5 of 5 on goal setting.  As of today you setting a daily Specific Intention, you have found your Why, you have created your 12 Week Result Goal, and you now have three 3 Progress Goals (habits) you need practice to reach your 12 week Result : ).

Today, I will show how to create 2 – 3 daily actions/tasks that correlate back to your progress goals. Once you nail this down, you will have a clear and concise road map to where you want to go and how to get there. I am excited for you, let’s get started!

Write down 2-3 Actions/tasks you will take for each progress goal. Based on your progress goals, ask yourself what do you need to do on a day-to-day basis to ensure you are hitting your progress goals you’ve set? See example below.

Kim’s Result Goal: Lose 20 pounds

Kim’s Three Progress goals:

1. I will start eating breakfast
2. I will start working out
3. I will plan my meals ahead of time

Kim’s Actions/tasks

1. Based on Progress goal 1.  I will start eating a healthy breakfast
   1. I will set an alarm 15 minutes earlier so I am not rushed and I actually eat a good breakfast.
   2. I will prepare my breakfast before I go to bed so I can just wake up and partake.
   3. I will eat or drink at least one fist of a colorful veggie (Green Smoothies make this easy. It is what I always do…if you would like my Cookbook, click here.)
2. Based on Progress goal 2. I will start working out
   1. I will make sure my schedule is clear for my training sessions, I will block out those slots ahead of time.
   2. I will walk for 30 minutes on my non-gym days or actively play with my kids outside (No cell phone allowed!).
   3. I will tell my trainer what my common excuses so s/he can keep me accountable.
3. Based on Progress goal 3. I will plan my meals ahead of time
   1. I will sit down Saturday morning and create my menu.
   2. I will prepare Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday meals on Sunday and I will prepare Thursday, Friday, and Saturday meals on Wednesday.

I know goal setting isn’t the most fun activity ever, but it is extremely effective. Just baby step this with me : ). The last step is fill out the contract below and post it on your refrigerator so you have a constant reminder, download it by clicking here).
