3 mistakes even high-achievers make in goal achievement
There are common mis-steps that I’ve made and I see others making. I’m highlighting them here so we can support each other in our collective pursuit of our personal and professional goal achievement.
Three common areas where even high-achieving professionals can become derailed:
1. Allowing urgent items to take priority over our schedule, nudging goal efforts aside.
You may be thinking - of course…it’s urgent.
Well, is it urgent for you or someone else? Many times what’s urgent for someone else lands on your plate with a deadline attached, creating a sense of urgency for you. Particularly if you’re in a line of work where this is the norm rather than the exception, this can be a challenging environment to pursue those important but not urgent activities, which is the category that many goal efforts fall into. But, note I said challenging, not impossible.
