Because the way ahead is more important than the way you left behind
The year 2020 is fast approaching
Have you thought about what you would like to achieve next year?
Think (and record) the answer to 3 questions:
- What? (Intention)
- How much? (Proportion)
- When? (Time Bound)
Look at what you wrote and reflect on:
- What I want to achieve is realistic?
- Is my intention ambitious?
After elaborating these two questions for each objective you wish to achieve and making the appropriate changes it may be said that they are S.M.A.R.T.
In which areas did you set your goals?
Its development as a human being includes the following domains:
- Physicist
- Emotional
- Intellectual
- Spiritual
Make sure you set your goals by considering these 4 domains
Make plans to achieve the goals you set for yourself
Now that you have your goals perfectly defined and the plans put in place to achieve them, it is important to check if the plans are being met.
Every month look at the plans you made
Make any changes or make adjustments as you see fit but
keep the goals you set
I wish your year 2020 to be full of achievements

Dear Luis,
Like all new years resolution they set of with the right intentions but unless you are a disciplined persons they usually fizzle out by the second half of the year. For me I pick one trait or characteristic about myself that I would to be better at and look at how I can go about improve upon it using limited resources of time and effort. For example, if I want to improve my ability to be a better listener, I may let others take the lead in meetings and asking and answering questions and see if a notice difference in my mannerisms. This approach can make changes obtainable.

Luis,
Thank you for bringing this topic at this time of the year. It is a great opportunity to reflect on 2019 and think to the next year. Setting for ourselves achievable, measurable, realistic goals and working towards achieving them is part of our professional approach in applying knowledge, experience and education to what matter most to us.
Let me wish you a great 2020, full of happiness, health, and joy!
Good first article, Luis! Couple of tips for turning goals into reality - write them down and tell someone!

Thanks for reminding us that our lives and our work spans multiple domains - all interconnected. All too often in our work we focus on only one aspect of things - but attending to
- Physicist
- Emotional
- Intellectual
- Spiritual
both ties them togethern and creates more energy.
Was just sitting down to write some things about 2020 when this came by and it reminded me of some things to include.
thanks and have a great year.
This is a funny saying to attend to. Have a great year puts you in the drivers seat. It's an action. I'm not hoping a great year will happen to you - it is up to you to do it - to have it - so what are you going to do about it? :)
Luis, congrats in your new blog. Keep posting and happy new year!
Hi Luis,
nice post! Is always good to have this tips to help us at this time.
I usually add "for what?" as a question because help me to understand the really importance of each one, otherwise the list become very long. I wish you a great 2020!

Luis, very brilliant start keep going, just to add as you grow bigger you even don't need a rear mirror like driving a lorry (American 18 wheeler truck)

Great post Luis, very inspirational. I like your subject line (Do you know why the windscreen is bigger than the rearview mirror?).
Thank you.
Love the analogy and thanks for the straightforward questions to help us having a fantastic 2020!

There is another aspect to this blog I think worth pointing out.
Here's an old joke to set this up:
Theres an old joke about a person who has too much to drink staggering around under a lamp post. A policeman sees him and asks if hes ok.
The man says, Im ok, just looking for my car keys.
So the policeman starts helping him look so he can take the keys away.
After a while of not finding them, the policeman asks the man, Are you sure you dropped them here?
The man replies, No officer, I dropped them down that alley. Then why are we looking here? The light is better here.
---------------
I find that we do this a lot in the Agile space - we look to where the light is better. Many in the Agile community discuss how things are difficult and how we can't predict things. I disagree. I believe the principles of Flow and Lean enable us to make pretty good deductions about what will happen if we take certain actions. And if they don't, good learning will occur in any event.
Imagine getting into a car where the rear view merror takes up 90% of the windshield. Seeing out the windshield now takes effort and is uncomfortable. But we don't mind using the rear view mirror. We're happy to go a little slower and look at the rear-view mirror because we can sit comfortably and use it. It only slows us down a bit and when hit things we say "oh, well Agile is difficult and we're in a complex system so things like this happen and in any event, we have to learn on our own".
The moral: what we want to make sure we do is look ahead, even if we're not given the windshield to begin with. We may have to do something to get it that way.
Hi Luis,
Excellent blog for strategic road map of vision 2020.
Thanks,
Rajon
