Five steps for achieving almost any ambition

It’s not only about making goals, it’s also about the alignment of goals, and reaching them in lesser time.

To succeed, your goals must align with your dreams.

Step 1: Recognize Priorities

But, are you actually differentiating between productive tasks and unproductive busy tasks?

Learn to identify the productive tasks, spend time on them.
Learn to identify the unproductive busy chores, get them done quickly.

Amy knows her priority is learning the skills that can fetch her a job.
Jimmy knows his priority is putting more content on which platform

Knowing your priorities is the first step towards focused growth

Step 2: Set “SMART” Goals

Remember, it’s not just about setting goals, it’s about setting right goals, at the right time, in the right direction.

Step 4: Focus on goals

“Professional activity performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive capabilities to their limit. These efforts create new value, improve your skill, and are hard to replicate.”

Step 5: Learn from the past, automate.

Remember, it’s not only about completing your tasks, it’s also about getting them done in lesser time, with greater quality.
