RE: First quarter Achievements?

What do you hope to have achieved by the first quarter of 2018?

It seems like yesterday that we crossed over into 2018. I there say that we have spent over 50 days already in the year 2018 and it is time to begin to think clearly about what we intend to have achieved by the first quarter of 2018?

The truth is that many of us have written down what we want to achieve in 2018 as a list of things to achieve but not too many have written down in very specific terms what we want to see happen by the end of first quarter 2018.

If we do not know what to have achieved by the first quarter then how do we measure our level of achievements in the course of this New Year?

This is the best time to put pen to paper and write out in clear terms what we want to see achieved before the end of the first quarter 2018. We must tackle this by realizing that our lives are made up of different areas including spiritual physical, mental, social, financial, material, and physiological?  This work requires more focus, more energy and more concentration to get it done.

We need to determine in all these areas what we want to achieve in every quarter of this New Year, 2018.  Let us no longer procrastinate and just get straight to work by writing out in each of these areas and facets of our lives what and what we want to achieve in all the different quarters of 2018 knowing fully well that there are four quarters in every year and we are almost ending the first quarter.

When we know clearly what we want to get accomplished for every quarter then we can work judiciously at achieving specific goals for every month and in extension for every quarter knowing fully well that 3 months of the year makes a quarter and there are 4 quarters in every full year.

It is also clear that we do need an accountability partner to help us monitor how we are doing in the course of the year especially if we are working for ourselves and thereby not directly reporting to anyone.

Please if you know that you are yet to put pen to paper on this exercise then do not procrastinate any longer but get right to work on tackling this exercise. You will use your list of to accomplish for the entire year to allocate what you want to achieve per month and therefore per quarter. 

When you are done with this exercise send your exercise sheet to your accountability partner so that he or she can help you monitor how you are faring in the course of the year so that you are not left without proper monitoring.

As they say better late than never. Let us not leave undone what we need to have done. Let us choose to live a different style of life this year and let us not allow the new year to slide into months of mundane and non-achievement because we could not discipline ourselves on this simple task and exercise.

See you at the topmost top of life by the end of 2018. I am dedicated to paying the price for greatness today and not just tomorrow. Procrastination is the thief of greatness. Let it not happen to you.
