You’re at the end of a hectic week, the kind where you can hardly remember what happened. You’re sitting at your desk, doing some reflection. You’re noticing that you’ve accomplished some goals (building your network list and preparing a message) and that you haven’t accomplished some other goals (developing a debriefing tool and a conflict resolution workshop). You wonder why some goals get done, while others don’t.
 
Then it hits you.
 
You paid attention to networking and preparing a message. You didn’t pay attention to developing the debriefing tool and the conflict resolution workshop.
 
Tip: Pay attention to your goals—because what you pay attention to gets done.
 
Question: What can help you pay attention to your goals?
 
Answer: A review system. A review system that you use on a daily, weekly, quarterly, and annual basis:

1. Daily review: Take 5 minutes at the end of each day to review progress on your goals and to look at your schedule for the next day.
2. Weekly review: Take 30 minutes at the end of each week to review progress on your goals, determine your action steps for the next week, and schedule your action steps.
3. Quarterly review: Take 1-2 hours to review your goals, your progress, what helps/hinders you, and what you want to accomplish for each goal in the next 90 days.
4. Annual review: Take 2 or more hours to review your goals and the progress you’ve made, to establish your goals for the coming year, and to identify what you want to accomplish for each goal in the next 90 days.

Remember: What you pay attention to gets done.
