Goals

3. Idea Design Studio knows that setting goals in all areas of life are important,
particularly when working on more than one project. Professional goals are
hard to decide upon and even harder to follow through on throughout the
months and years ahead.
Deadlines – Making goals specific, actionable, measurable and giving yourself
a deadline is key. Without a deadline, things go to the bottom of the list each
and every time. Adjusting the deadline is fine, because things happen, but
starting with a deadline is key.
Visible – Put your goals somewhere so you see them every day, multiple
times a day. Considering putting them as the background on your computer
or phone, adding them as a screensaver, or even scheduling them in your
calendar so you get reminders.

4. Stretch Goals – It’s comforting to set goals that you know you can attain, but
stretch yourself just a little with a goal that will really push you. Don’t set
unrealistic goals, or set too many goals, but work towards something that
really stretches your skill set.
Initiative – Make yourself set goals, even if no one forces you to. Annually,
quarterly, or even monthly, set aside some time to look at your goals and
reevaluate your deadlines. Make sure that you can still accomplish them
within the timeline allotted, and consider what additional things you may
need to do to stay on track.
Personal Goals – Personal goals are important and often help us attain
professional goals. Personal development leads to professional growth, so
spend a little time thinking about the things you want to learn that will help
with your career potential. A few examples are reading books, attending
conferences, or taking a class.
