New Years: How to set goals with time and lists

We will be re-visiting the Master List for 2010.

Before vision boards are to be created you must first know how to plan for your master list (in order to accomplish your goals for 2010).

1. First, write down 12 big tasks you wish to accomplish within a year
A. Commit to Ballet with consistent disciplined practice
B. Edit Season 1 of The Lights and show 10 major networks before setting a Date for The Lights premiere
C. Write handwritten notes to decision makers within the networks.
D. Set a date for The Lights premiere and launch on @NewYorkCityPR is no network picks up show.
E
(ok, so I have 4 so far for this example)

2. Once you have your big vision goals— break down tasks into the month that you wish to accomplish tasks/projects by and then break down the month into weeks until you get it done.

3. it will bypass procrastination if 1. and 2. are followed and done correctly.

Here is what it can look like:
A. Ballet
Meet private instructor by Jan 7, 2010. Write a note and send via mail on your new personal stationary by Jan 1

B. Edit a Lights Trailer by Jan 15, 2010. Edit 3 more by Jan 20.

C.Write 10 letters on personal stationary to 10 decision makers in 10 different television networks.

D. Make sure you really pursued networks before launching on @NewYorkCityPR

Crazy how goals A-D already take up a month.

Perhaps using this strategy in monthly increments is best, but know the overall goals for the year: Get The Lights into People Magazine, Just Jared, Us Weekly, E!, JohnSimonDaily, OK!, Star etc... by the half way point in 2010. That gives me 6 months. I better be pretty far a long in ballet by then too.

Once you start to see yourself meeting your deadlines, this will make you happy. After the 1st goal is accomplished, go ahead and make a visual for that completed goal, this will keep you focused and on track-- (making you start to visualize the 2nd goal) and will bring you a lot of joy and happiness.

The key is to have your goals in sight... on the fridge, in the bathroom, at your desk etc...
