Only 100 Days Left This Year!

This year has flown by and it is amazing to think that there’s only 100 days left this year. If you feel that you have not yet accomplished all that you set out to do in January, then this post is perfect for you!

Here are 5 ways to ensure the last 100 days are more effective than the previous 265.

1) Get clear on your goals: Most people either do not set any goals or set too many. Goals are designed to help you focus, so it is crucial that you set between 5 and 10, at the most. What 5 to 10 things are you committed to achieving in the next 100 days?

2) Break your goals down: With 100 days, why not chunk your goals down into smaller, manageable time frames. Segment the next 100 days into 10 sections of 10 days, so that you can plan your time and resources better.

3) Focus on 1 or 2 areas of your life: Most people try to improve every part of their life in one go. This is not possible and it is not effective. Instead, in each segment of 10 days, give one or two areas all of the focus. By doing this, you will soon have a manageable control over every area of your life.

4) Get excited: The truth is, we’re about to enter the best period of the year. We have holidays, parties, bonuses and family time to look forward to. Be positive and look forward to what’s ahead because that perspective will ensure that you don’t get bogged down by negative emotions and behaviours.

5) Motivate yourself daily: My favourite quote of all time is from Zig Ziglar. He said that motivation does not last, but neither does showering. That is why he recommends it daily! Spend a few minutes each day reading to something motivational or inspiring. The Goals Guy 100 Day Challenge program is perfectly set up to do this and the short video on the page always motivates me.

Good luck with the next 100 days!
