Judi,
Thanks for your insights. It can be difficult to keep your own goals in sight when your day to day tasks pull you in multiple directions. Knowing your goal is one thing, but writing that goal down as well as the necessary steps needed to achieve your goal is another. Having your goal and action items on paper and within your view everyday allows you the opportunity to assess where you are in terms of achievement, adapt the timeline, action items, or even the goal (if necessary), and celebrate your wins along the way! Best of luck to you as you work to accomplish your professional and personal goals!
