Now that you have chosen up to four areas for success and written you visions for each area, you are ready to complete the final steps of designing your vision for 2023.
Step 3. Break it Down
Now you want to set quantitative goals for each area. Begin with the end, list in quantitative terms what you wish to have experienced by the yearend, then work backwards by listing your goals for each quarter. For example, if you chose Finances/Wealth as an area you may list the amount you want your debts to decrease, or the amount you want your savings account to have increased by yearend.
Once you have written these details for all 4 quarters, break down monthly and weekly actions for the first quarter only. As the next quarter arises, you will then write the details for it, having gained a good sense of what is working and what is not from the prior quarter. You will find this to be much more productive than trying to write monthly or weekly goals for the entire year. This way any adjustments you find necessary can be made one quarter at a time!
Step 4. Track Your Success
Finally, make a chart to help you keep track of your success and notice where adjustments are needed. Look at each goal and determine if it is better to track your actions weekly or monthly. One way of tracking is to score your weekly actions from one to five, with five being the highest score. This will allow you to see where adjustments to goals or activity are needed.
Make it okay to adjust your goals up or down, change them completely by removing or adding to them (keeping to at most four areas). Remember, this is your process that you are designing for your success. It is not being designed for judging, comparing, or belittling yourself. It is being designed for you to learn how you desire to live your life from year to year, week to week even, and experience the joy of a year of growth and accomplishments! Your personal growth is something that never has to end. Creating a joyful life is something you are responsible for and should do in the most enjoyable way. This gift of life should be treasured and lived to the fullest! Be bold enough to envision grand goals, expand your vision and increase your joy!
Wishing you happy creating, designing, and blissfulness for 2023 and beyond!
