2018 Goals: A #BufferChat Recap

A1.

Personal–having regular therapy sessions. This thing called life can be a bit much so I’m hoping to focus on my mental and emotional health this year.

Professional–I’m looking to apply and get accepted to an MBA program. Wish me luck! #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/WuUx4q6LCI

A1: Blogging weekly, because forces me to churn out new ideas constantly. As for my personal goal, I’m going to stop avoiding things that make me uncomfortable. ? #bufferchat

A2: A colleague of mine wrote a great article titled “Screw Making A New Year’s Resolution. Just Pick A Word”. URL: https://t.co/4NdB2hajns. I would recommend checking it out as it talks about framing your year around 1 word rather than specific goals. #bufferchat

A2 I like planning out my goals, monthly & daily. I reward myself when I achieve major goals & am mindful when I fall short #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/v98vJGSi5M

A2: Beginning of the year! Make S.M.A.R.T. goals. Write em, post where you can see them. Announce them to your harshest friends so they help hold you accountable. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/5XgW44GK2h

A3: We use @WorkFlowy along with good ole Excel. But, we’re always looking to improve our system. #bufferchat

A3: I use a combination of a bullet journal and @trello to track everything. A little tech mixed with analog suits me. #bufferchat

— Cassandra Schwartz ⭐ (@cssndrlnn) January 3, 2018

A3: Discovered the most amazing journal ever – @dailygreatness this is truly MY tool of the year to track goals! #bufferchat

— Areej AbuAli (@areej_abuali) January 3, 2018

A3: Oh hell yes! @Wunderlist for those checklists I mentioned, @Evernote for organizing helpful content, the slew of whiteboards around my house for reminding me to get shit done, & moleskin notebooks for those groundbreaking ideas. #bufferchat https://t.co/SqTkZ7P068

A4: Sometimes I honestly let them run free when I’m motivated and constantly in touch with them. About once a week I have an internal conversation: “Gen, what can YOU do to get where you want to be?” and that keeps me on track! I’m a huge promoter of self-talk! #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/01GqLKGaCS

— Geneva Hayward (@gen10hay) January 3, 2018

A4: Daily! I have different levels of goals, from major projects to smaller tasks that all build up to my Ultimate Goal. Every morning, I look at my daily “top 3.” I check in on quarterly goals weekly. #bufferchat

— Erin Sanchez (@candidlyerin) January 3, 2018

A4: ? I like reviewing them around the end of the month to see where I need to put more energies or where to slow down. Priorities will always change. It is a fact of life.

A4: It depends, but I try to limit myself to once a week. I find checking too often can be disheartening because I’m impatient and want to see results YESTERDAY. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/1OvroiefSH

— Felicity Wild (@flickwild) January 3, 2018

A5: I’m a fan of setting a destination off in the distance and knowing that each day, my attitude and actions can help me inch closer. And before I know it, I’m there! #bufferchat

— Ryan Easttum (@easttum) January 3, 2018

A5: Balance is key here. In my opinion, the more attainable the better as it will build your confidence in having a successful year. Then have 1 or 2 professional & personal huge goals to strive for. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/geBnrobico

— Ben Campbell ❄️ ☃️ (@Ben_Soup) January 3, 2018

A5 I’d rather make 1000 small goals that I know lead towards something bigger than 1 or 2 big goals. Breaking it down task by task makes large things seem more attainable, and thus you’re less likely to put them off #bufferchat

— WTF ? Katie (@WeirdTrvlFriend) January 3, 2018

A5: This is personal to me (though I’m sure others are similar), but I like to set huge goals because I make more progress when I’m trying to hit them. Failing to hit an attainable goal means getting way less done. #bufferchat

— Laura Ferruggia ??? (@lauregg) January 3, 2018

A6: I love anything by @james_clear when it comes to goal-setting and habit formation. Brilliant insights. He’s my hero #bufferchat

— Salma Jafri ? (@salmajafri) January 3, 2018

A6: And one more @trello article that I loved – detailing how you can set your own personal OKRs for 2018! https://t.co/G3dB09AjaB #bufferchat

— juliestuckey (@JulieStuckey) January 3, 2018

A6: The Power of Habit by @cduhigg is a must read for January. Incredible insight on how the brain works and how you can stop bad habits and optimize good ones. #bufferchat

— Aaron Dunn (@aarondunnworks) January 3, 2018

A6: Might sound odd, but How To Win Friends and Influence People is a great book to read on setting and attaining goals. If anything, it highlights important goals for self growth. #bufferchat pic.twitter.com/Kj1tbh5NDK
