From the article: 10 Goal Setting Tips
Setting goals is easy but achieving them can be hard. Life interferes. And while we may really want to accomplish our goal when we set it, it can be difficult to stay focused and keep working to a goal’s completion. One thing you can do to increase the chances of achieving your goals is to write them down. Share your examples of goals here. Share Your Goals

Reward myself for hitting a goal

Over the last couple of years I've been working hard and sticking pretty close to my quarterly and annual plans but it often seemed like I was spinning my wheels. If you have a small staff or staff of one, you don't get a lot of feedback other than your balance sheet. So, earlier this month I made a list of what I accomplished this year, including new clients, acquiring new skills, etc. and it felt good! The list was longer than I realized. Now I've decided to give myself a holiday bonus. :-)

Wintertime Activity

My goal is to find a fun winter activity this year that will help keep me in shape until spring comes. The rest of the year, I bike and kayak, but those activities are put on hold December-April where I live (New England). I've looked into indoor tennis, but scheduling a court is too big a hassle; so I'm still looking for solution.
