There are probably a few very usual mistakes you are making. Here is where you might have gone wrong.
Mistake #1 -
You simply missed out on it. You have let it slip from your list.
Mistake #2 -
You have hardly set up a plan to achieve the necessary. The status of the goal has been limited to a wish.
Mistake #3 -
You have not evaluated the level of success in your working towards the goal.
Mistake #4 -
There were always an excessive number of things you were attempting, thus messing up the more specific goals.
Mistake #5 -
There is a goal to be achieved yet there is no time frame you have fixed to achieve it.
Mistake #6 -
The time frame you set yourselves is a huge expanse of time. Focus on small units of time to work on your goals in short term measures.
Mistake #7 –
Your target was simply too ambitious and hence unassailable.
Mistake #8 -
You hardly begun attempting the achievement of the goal concerned since there was a lack of immediacy. Activity has been absent in your aims.
Mistake #9 -
The goal concerned was hardly evaluated in real terms. As a result it remained contained in the unclear propositions you thought for yourselves. Focus was clearly lacking. Thus you do not even know if you have managed to achieve it or not.
Mistake #10 -
The goal set was never something which would be compatible to you, your living, and your principles. Or simply it wasn’t challenging enough and gives you no sense of achievement.
Mistake #11 -
There was a general lack of accountability to someone specific or even to you.
This should provide an easy guideline the next time you think of setting goals for yourself. These 11 mistakes are the ones people make mostly when they are setting up goals for themselves. What is being recommended here is to devote enough time to careful framing of the objective and not skipping this procedure.
The goals you set yourselves should be your constant companion in forms you have to devise for yourself. It would help if you set up charts and update them regularly. A regulation of your work is thus ensured. Reminder emails should also serve the purpose. Often teams pursuing goals have it easy because each one is trying to outdo the other. Competition enhances performance. But what is important is not losing you in the goal. Enjoy the challenge and do not overdo things. That would leave you spent in spite of achieving goals you have decided for yourself. What is to be kept in consideration is technical betterment in pursuing goals rather than unbridled workload. That can only reduce motivation and inspiration.
All the best!! This is going to be an exciting ride. Remember to keep it exciting. Goals are easy things. Go and achieve them.
