Goals: Don't rest for too long between projects

With goals it is important once you have achieved it, to celebrate the fact that all your planning and your strategies to overcome the procrastination habit and achieve your goal, you celebrate the fact. But it is also very important to start thinking about the next goal, and the next goal, and yes the one that will take more than a year or two to complete. We need to have some short term goals (ones that can be achieved in a month or so) some medium term goals (ones that take between a couple of months and a couple of years) and long term goals (ones that can take decades to complete).

If you wait for too long between starting one thing and finishing it....well you are going to always be playing catch up. For a long time I've been promising myself that I will mulch my garden to help keep the weeds down.

I didn't and now the weeds are taking over the beds again. I am left to pull weeds when I should be enjoying the plants. At the moment I can't see the plants because they are being choked. Any project is like that. Wait too long between each installment and you will need to go back over the same ground to get back to where you started....before you can move onwards to a new section.

Don't let the weeds take over your garden, otherwise you will be wasting time, energy and money.

Just like the weeds in your garden, if you don't work on your goals on a regular basis, other things will come along and take precendence over what is important. But you also need to have your goal strategies in place so that as you complete one goal, you know exactly where you are with the others and what you need to do in order to complete them also.

So - don't wait too long.
