What's left to do after you reached your yearly goals?
Cpu_Modern | Aug 31 2006
This is a question about goals setting. Suppose one sets a couple of goals for a year. For each life area a goal ie financial, health and so on. Than, dring the year you accomplish one of your goals. What happens now, is that the related category is empty. What happens with the empty area? You accomplished the yearly goal for that category, right? What should one do? Replace it with another goal? Concentrate on the other areas of life? What do you do when you reached all you goals but there is still some year left? 2 Comments

 Concentrate on the other goalsSubmitted by Douglas on September 3, 2006 - 12:58pm.
I suppose it may depend on which goal you completed but I would concentrate on achieving the other goals. For example, I have a friend who had a goal to earn $150k. He did this by May so he stopped work and concentrated on his other goal - learning to sail. » POSTED IN:

I guess the real answer lies at the higher levels. Is the goal an end itself? In which case, well done. Is it a stepping stone to some larger goal? Then get on with it. Taking the example in another reply, the goal was to earn $150k in a year, and you've done that already. What you do now depends on why you had that goal. If it was "if I earn that much I can spend more time doing what I enjoy", then you've done it, go and do something else. If it was the first step to becoming a millionaire, then get on with the next goal, only this time make it more of a stretch. » POSTED IN:
