Setting and achieving goals

The New Year of 2011 is less then three months away, so it is time to reflect on the goals set in 2010. The best was to achieve goals is to plan, act, and reflect. Reflection on your goals should occur about every three months. This way you can see which actions assist in accomplishing the goals and which actions you have to change. Reflecting on the goals every three months lets you decide if you set the goal too low or too high.

Think about these questions when you reflect on your writing goal or goals. Did you achieve the the goal too easily? Have you achieved part of the goal or the entire goal? Did you put a deadline on achieving the goal? Did you place that deadline on your planning calendar? Even though 2010 is almost over, there is still time to achieve part of your writing goal.
