The current year is coming to an end, which means that thoughts inevitably turn to the new year, and what we’d like to see happen in our lives.

Maybe 2013 didn’t work for you as you wanted it to.

Maybe sad things happened, or you lost your way, or you simply didn’t have time to make the changes that you wanted.

I know I often start the year full of excitement and promise, and by the time I go back to work a couple of days later, all that magic has gone, and it’s back to the same old…

How good are you at goal setting?

Do you frequently achieve what you set out to do? Or are you usually left with a half-finished goal, and you forget what you set out to do, or can’t be arsed bothered any more?  (my mum told me off for having ‘arsed’!)

There’s a reason why goals should have some structure to them if you want to achieve them.

After all, you wouldn’t get in your car & decide to drive to somewhere you’d never been before without consulting a map (or an annoying sat nav that sends you off in the wrong direction).
