So I am trying something slightly different for my goal setting and tracking this year. I went and bought myself a new Moleskine (a bright red one) and wrote each goal on it’s own page and left the back of the book to take notes, write encouragements, track success etc. for the year.

One other good thing that I’ve put in it is a tracking “matrix” for goals that are to be accomplished daily. This is essentially a series of small boxes for each day of the year to put an X in upon completion or an O for non-completion. It’s been good, because I can visually see how I’ve done on each one, and I want to keep going particularly on those where I have been “perfect” thus far.

And then today I read about this story of Jerry Seinfeld’s productivity secret and it fit in nicely with what I’ve been doing. I think I need to break down my other goals into daily tasks and work on chaining those. I’m sure there is some neuro-programming trick here at play, because it works. Why not use the brains quirks to our own ends, eh?!
