How To Do It

Goal statement

Produce an abbreviated summary statement of the goal, and include details

like timing, cost, location etc to make it tangible.

Measure of success and goal appraisal

A measure of success is how you'll know your goal has been accomplished,

and to what degree. You have to make some particular, measurable
statements about what the imaginable results will be, but how do you do

that? You've 2 main choices; “distinct” or “uninterrupted”.

Distinct

You may utilize a “distinct” measurement of goal accomplishment, that is,
you either hit or miss a goal. This is an easy way of assessing success.

Utilize with care though, as missing a goal by a hair and calling that ‘bomb’
may be deterring.

Uninterrupted
Or you may measure success utilizing “uninterrupted” outcomes or a

sliding scale. This technique is primary in most big organizations or
companies. A scoring system ascertains how effective an employee has been

in meeting their goals.

The uninterrupted measurement system takes more work and refinement

of thought, yet it boosts optimistic thinking. Percept of “shades of grey”
boosts optimistic, non-depressive thinking and diffuses any emotional

reaction to a goal result due to the multiple theories.
