2nd quarter of the year has begun. Wow! The 1rst quarter of the year came and went just like that. Can you believe it? At the start of a new quarter, I like to take the time to reflect on what goals I accomplished during the 1rst quarter, do a vision board check-in and properly plan out my goals for the 2nd quarter. I know sometimes time seems to pass us by and before we know it the month is over. That's why I feel as creatives we have to really learn how to maximize the day. Properly plan out our week, set small daily goals, that lead up to us accomplishing one of our quarterly goals.
The beautiful thing about entering a new week, a new month and most importantly a new quarter is the opportunity of a fresh start. We get another opportunity to properly plan and accomplish incomplete goals. Listed below are 5 things to help you get prepared for the 2nd quarter.
1.Vision board check in
Look at your vision board and see what things you are hoping to accomplish this year. Have you been actively doing things every day to see those things transpire? What was acccomolished during the 1rst quarter and what wasnt?
2. Take a look at your 1rst quarter goals.
What did you not accomplish and why? Make a chart of goals from the 1rst quarter. On one side list your goal, then in the middle take note if you accomplished Y/N? If yes awesome write out what goal you will have in the 2nd quarter to contribute to that 1rst quarter goal to get to your ultimate goal. If No, reevaluate why that goal wasn't accomplished and what you can do this quarter to get it accomplished.
3. Find Motivation.
Instead of hoping social media first thing in the morning how about listening to some motivating podcast, reading a bible scripture or starting a gratitude journal. Always remember how you start your day is how it will end.
4. CONSiSTENCY is key! KEY!!
Spend 2-4 (more if you can) hours a day and work on your goals. I know some of us work full time jobs and tht can be hard but dedicting an hour a day can help.
5. Lastly, write out your goals for the 2nd quarter and be VERY specific.
So let's all come together and KILL the 2nd quarter of 2018! I mean we only get this time once so why not make the best of it.
