The wheel of life can help you have a great year

December 31, 2019 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

Are you feeling overwhelmed at the number of things you’d like to improve and worried you won’t or can’t improve. Instead of goals use the wheel of life to find your priority annual theme.

Picking a theme instead of New Year resolutions

Picking a theme instead of New Year resolutions

I’m not a fan of having a new year resolution as I’ve found they rarely have a successful outcome. So this year I’m doing things differently and I’m working towards a long term goal. A goal that will help me achieve the life I want in the future.

My only new year resolution

January 1, 2016 by Kate Davis 2 Comments

my one resolution

I’ve written before about not being a big fan of making new year resolutions because I think it adds too much pressure and you are more likely to make successful changes if you set a resolution at a time that is best for you and not defined by the calendar. However, I admit I set a few goals last year such as writing at least four blog posts a month (which I achieved for all Continue Reading …

Achieving goals at the beach

Old Harry Rocks at Sunset

The old saying to kill two birds with one stone is a great example of achieving more with the same effort. If you can find these in your life it feels great because you make progress in several areas at one time. I’ve been on holiday on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, UK. We picked a great week with the sun coming out for the first time in weeks, consequently we spent a lot Continue Reading …

Immersing yourself in your dreams

September 15, 2010 by Kate Davis 2 Comments

Working towards your dreams is a gradual process, moving there action by action. It is also good to prepare your mind through methods like saying your goal several times a day and spending time with people who have already achieved your dream. One of my husband’s dreams is to own a sailing yacht. His grandfather owned yachts so Ed has sailed since being a baby and to him it is a normal part of life. Continue Reading …

Creating a goal daily reminder

June 5, 2009 by Kate Davis 2 Comments

Writing down your goals is good, but of course it is even better to take action to help realise the goals. When I announced the second draft of my goals, Gary asked how often I considered them. This got me thinking; I intend to review them at the end of each month using a wheel of life, but was this good enough? I decided that as well as a regular review, I also needed a Continue Reading …

Reviewing goals after a major life change

April 9, 2009 by Kate Davis 3 Comments

Having developed your goals its important to review them at a later date, particularly after any major changes in your life, to ensure they are still relevant; you don’t want to be working towards something you no longer want. Plus it is a useful reminder to ensure you are making progress. I only developed a first draft of my goals in August 2008, but since then I’ve given birth to my first child so my Continue Reading …

My personal purpose and vision (first draft)

August 12, 2008 by Kate Davis Leave a Comment

I have been working on my goals for a long time but seemed to stall at identifying what my top level vision was. Looking back on my notes it appears that I’ve had the content nearly there for a long time, but the thing that seemed to be stopping me was how to actually write my vision. I have decided to use the format suggested by Jim Collins for organisation’s vision in his book Built Continue Reading …

Developing my mission statement

February 6, 2008 by Kate Davis 14 Comments

Having decided the next step in my goal development is to develop a personal mission statement I have been doing some research. Just about everything I’ve read suggests there are many benefits to developing a mission statement, but the key ones are greater self knowledge and improved decision making, so obviously the more effort I put into developing the mission statement the greater results I will see. During my research I have identified several blog Continue Reading …

Goal setting: brainstorming ideas

January 28, 2008 by Kate Davis 1 Comment

Despite a significant amount of resistance I finally completed the next stage of the goal setting tutorial, the brainstorming exercise.  The aim is to draw out the subconscious thoughts that show what you are really passionate about and therefore help identify the goals that will fill you with desire.  The idea is to brainstorm things that will improve your life in four areas; personal development, career and economic, adventure and contribution.  Then by reviewing each Continue Reading …

Welcome

I'm a working mum of two children, and I believe everything benefits from being simpler. Although I'm not as good as I'd like at achieving simplification. I often get caught up on writing lists or planning the most efficient method of achieving things instead. Read More…
