Reassurance

I was going through HBR blog newsletter today and found one specific blog about "Get your goals back on track". I checked the passage and found that first of the scientifically tested strategies is what I had blogged before. It is about setting detailed goals and then setting your KPI's against it. For example, instead of writing that I am going to learn Arabic, it should be like, by the month of June, I will learn to speak beginners Arabic, and by the end of 2011, I will try to pass an exam on beginners Arabic etc.

Maybe I had epiphany. I am on track to success. One month past the new year 2011, and still I don't have any KPI's set. Maybe this article was posted to reassure me that I need to follow the disciplined path.

So I should strive to have a goals setting weekend and start a disciplined life.

On the physical aspect of my life, I have started to go for cardio and for swimming in the hotel. But I need also to plan out the continuity once I reach back in Kuwait, since otherwise this may prove harmful rather than beneficial.

To Reach Greatness - Set the Goals

I have decided that in order that I reach greatness, I need to track out my progress, double my efforts. Create KPI's and map it.

Further go the Google way, 20% of my time for other projects maybe.

Work wise, I need to create timelines for all the work that I am doing and further increase my knowledge and edge above others in all areas. Let me be the technical guy to consult. Let me be the person in demand.

There are 3 areas that I need to concentrate on:

1) Mental

2) Physical

3) Spiritual

I will keep KPI's for them like last year, however will follow them dedicatedly this year.

First Impressions:

I felt like I have cheated my self. I am going no where. It seems like I am in a jungle now with no clear visible path. I need to find first a direction and then proceed out of it as soon as possible.

I am gasping for time. Yet I like to waste whatever time that I have got. It looks like I have to make up for the lost time asap as it is crucial for me in this period of time.
