Introduction:

Welcome to the Bold Goal Crusher Podcast, where we help you overcome the obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals. I'm your host, Sara Mayer, and I'm excited to join you on this journey to boldly crush your goals without working double time. In today's episode, we'll discuss the importance of tracking your progress and creating a process to stay on track with your goals.

1. Setting Goals for Success

   - Many of us set goals or resolutions at the beginning of the year, but it's common to feel a bit off track by mid-January.

   - The pressure to set goals in January may not be ideal because of the busy start to the year.

   - Instead, consider starting fresh every week.

   - Reflect on the process of keeping your goals at the forefront of your to-do list.

2. Building Reflection and Tracking Time

   - Building time for reflection is crucial for staying on track with your goals.

   - Some may find the idea of reflection too "woo" or "journal-y," but it's essential.

   - Allocate time in your schedule to review your goals regularly.

   - Reflecting on your goals helps you stay focused and ensures they remain a priority.

3. Prioritizing Tasks: An Example

   - It's important to prioritize tasks related to your goals.

   - Share a personal example of prioritizing tasks for the day.

   - Discuss the importance of choosing tasks that align with your long-term goals.

   - Mention the need to balance immediate tasks with those that contribute to long-term progress.

4. Breaking Down Goals

   - Encourage listeners to break down long-term goals into smaller, actionable steps.

   - Use writing a book as an example.

   - Break down the process of writing a book into monthly, weekly, and daily objectives.

   - Discuss the benefits of chunking down goals to make them more achievable.

5. Reflecting on Progress

   - Emphasize the importance of reflecting on your progress regularly.

   - Encourage listeners to ask themselves questions at the end of each day: Did I move closer to my goal? What obstacles did I face? Who can I reach out to for support?

   - Utilize tools like the Clever Fox calendar for daily reflections.

6. Weekly Evaluation and Adjustments

   - At the end of each week, evaluate your progress.

   - Assess whether you moved closer to your goal or faced challenges.

   - Remind listeners not to be too hard on themselves.

   - Emphasize the need to make adjustments for the following week to ensure continued progress.

Conclusion:

Crushing your goals requires discipline, commitment, and a well-defined process. By consistently tracking your progress, reflecting on your actions, and breaking down your goals into manageable tasks, you'll build momentum and achieve success. Remember, it's okay to face obstacles along the way, as long as you make corrections and stay focused on your goals. Start today and begin boldly achieving without working double time.
