How to achieve your GOALS?
“unTom” yourself
Tom: I want to be an iOS coder, man! I mean, have you seen their life? It’s so cool! The way they sit on those fancy chairs, typing away like they’re creating magic. I want that!
Joyce (Tom’s girlfriend): Oh, really? You’re telling me this again? I remember you saying the same thing last year, but you never actually did anything about it.
Tom: Yeah, yeah, I know, but this time is different. I’ve grown wiser and more mature now. I will start from June 1st [Today is 7th May]
[Fast forward to June 1st, a Friday]
Tom: Woo-hoo! Finally, it’s Friday! We’re going to have an amazing evening tonight. Let’s order some sushi.
Joyce: Hold on a second. Today is June 1st, right?
Tom: Yup, you got it!
Joyce: And you were supposed to start learning iOS today?
Tom: Oh, right! I completely forgot. Let’s start tomorrow. Wait, no! Monday sounds like a fresh start. We can enjoy the weekend first.
I can completely relate to Tom’s struggles. But how did I manage to tame the Tom within me?
These things helped me:
- Analyse your hours! Introspect
- Goal setting! Ideal
