Date
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

Luis,
Good blog, the past is only to take lesson and move ahead.

Thanks Luis, very much needed. Looking forward to learn from your posts. Wishing you too year full of achievements.

Thank you for the blog posting, Luis - it is very enjoyable to read. I agree that looking forward is best; and I also believe that now is a good time to do some reflecting on the past year:
- What did I intend to accomplish, and did I accomplish it?
- What did I not specifically intend to accomplish, but did accomplish and what benefits resulted from that?
- What did I not accomplish and am I bothered by not achieving the goal? If not, why was it a goal in the first place (i.e. external expectation, etc)? If yes, what steps am I taking to assure myself in succeeding this goal in the upcoming year.
Best wishes to all for a healthy and happy 2020!

Good advice. I would add a little more emphasis on reflection. Once you've achieved a goal, it can be important to evaluate how achieving that goal has changed your current reality; does it affect any desired outcomes or how you would achieve them that you hadn't recognized before.
Not every achieved goal needs additional scrutiny, but it can be helpful to recognize the unintended consequences of the goals you have achieved.

I love the answer to the question you posed (Because the way ahead is more important than the way you left behind.).
Best wishes to you for a 2020 worth remembering, Luis!

"The way ahead is more important than the way you left behind". Right! Excellent hints for the new year. Thank you very much! Congratulation for your first blog. Keep going.
Short and sweet.
Thanks for sharing.

I have a much more "what-will-be, will-be" approach (within very broad guidelines) to the future since retired . Try to stay healthy, try to spend less than I bring in, try and maintain a relatively smooth family life. As to the rear view mirror, its useful to know where you've been and who is sneaking up on you but do not let it become the focus point. Sounds simplistic but I realize more and more how people, as they age, tend to live in the past.
I am not saying that people of age do not care about the future, they just aren't stressed about it as the youth are. Personally, I accept that the next generations will be able to deal with it knowing that we trained them well.

Olá LB,
Que venha o novo ano e que traga muitas coisas boas, analogia perfeita para começar 2020. Acredite que o melhor ainda está por
vir, mas tudo depende de nós...
Obrigado fonte de inspiração.
Bob Macaia
Brilliant post.
It will help me setting my S.M.A.R.T. objectives for 2020.
I agree with Ricardo, that "for what" is relevant and will help to make things even more clear.
Luis, thank you for challenge us to improve.

Congratulations on your first blog. Well articulated, a great start for 2020 !
Thank you Luis for sharing the guiding points in setting goals and planning how to achieve them. Indeed, we need to look forward to challenges ahead.
I found myself having difficulty in the essential human development of the mentioned domains: physicist, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Need to be more disciplined this year.
Great teacher,
Very timely that text!
The act of writing our goals, in itself, is already a very beneficial exercise.
I would only contribute with the consideration that it may be beneficial to decide what you don't want to do, or if you want to stop doing, in this new cycle!
Do you have addictions that harm you and those around you? Do you not give your family the attention they deserve? Well...everyone knows about themselves.
It's a good time to reflect on that.
And there's still time!

Hi Luis
Great post, good tips to start the year.
I even hadn't the opportunity to celebrate the PMI-ACP accomplishment already thinking in carry on the journey, hope to do Risk and/or Business analysis certification along 2020.
Program Management is also in my wish list.
I plan to grow technical skills, not only in project management but also in electronics and computer systems, looking back to my background through the windshield, so many good things becoming reality, 5G, AI, robotics.
Connected electronics every where... \o/

Loved the simple way in which you explained to how to convert wishful thinking into clear and achievable goals, across those life domains.
I'm "stress testing" mine using the method you shared with us :)
Congratulation on your first blog post. Can't wait for the next!!!!
Very True and Motivative Blog. Thanks
These days I tend to take things as they come, a more Agile approach to life. I realize that things change so constantly that sometimes there is little point in planning in too much details or too much in advance. I used to be one to make new year's resolutions, goals, plans. Not so much anymore. And yet, I seem to get more done.

Looks good. Here are a couple of edits that I would consider:
1. Spell out S.M.A.R.T. and link to an appropriate article on PM.com if possible.
2. Put together a chart for the 4 areas (Emotional, Spiritual, ...) and give an example or two for each category. Perhaps give a fictional example for Fred Flintstone

Hi Luis,
Thanks for the great post and we are waiting for more interesting topic from you.
Setting target is something we do every year, this is important to re calibrate our priority in live.
