"If you want to be happy, set a
goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your
hopes."— Andrew Carnegie
Most people work hard by keeping their
deadlines. They achieve success one after another. But success can be achieved
quickly when they follow-up regularly. It is observed that some people jot down
the tasks and take up some other tasks without focusing on the prioritized
tasks. It does no good in the long run. Following-up
the tasks regularly will help you overcome this challenge.
It is essential to write what is to be
done everyday morning and take feedback in the night about what was done and
what is yet to be executed. This exercise will inculcate self-discipline and
will take you to tremendous success in the long run. It is often called to-do
list.
People write goals annually and check
at the end of the year about their status. Of course, all goals cannot be accomplished
as things don’t favor the way people wanted. They find out the reasons for
non-accomplishment of their goals and ensure that they carry forward the
unaccomplished goals to the following year. They also work harder with little
more focus to accomplish those unaccomplished goals. Similarly, it is essential
to create goals on monthly, weekly and daily basis to enhance focus and achieve
amazing success.
Follow-up is essential in every aspect
of life. For instance, you must follow-up when attended an employment interview.
It indicates your interest in employment to your recruiter. As a sales person,
you went to a customer and explained about your products and services; you must
follow-up to reach your sales targets. When you meet new people in associations
and programs, it is essential to follow-up. Likewise, follow-up is essential in
every aspect of your life. It serves you as a guideline and feedback whether
you are the right track.
In my personal life, I have the
practice of carrying my note book whenever I attend meetings and programs. I
jot down the key points on my note book instantly. After I reach my home, I
transfer the important things to my computer in a separate document with details
for my future reference. If I find
something new, I work on those triggers and write articles on them later. In my professional life, I check my e-mails
regularly and make it a point to respond promptly and follow-up as I have daily
deadlines. I push the tasks that are less significant to work on some other
time to enable the significant tasks to execute effectively.
Time is a precious resource and we
must know how to manage our time effectively. Whether the rich or poor, they
are blessed with time. Hence, creating a to-do list and taking feedback daily
helps you manage your time and achieve greater success in your life.
“Review your goals twice every day in
order to be focused on achieving them” – Les Brown
