  • Best Way to Plan your Goals

    Daily writing prompt
    How do you plan your goals?

    I love this quote from Simon Sinek and this is what drives me to plan my goals.

    ” Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.”

    Hence I do not believe in elaborate plans. The best way to plan your goals is to set short term goals and sub-goals which are measurable.

    This would continuously help to track progress, seek feedback and course correct, as needed.

    Elaborate planning I am afraid to say in the modern changing and agile world, falls flat most of the times.

    Being in Flow can help reduce stress. Our life is filled with CHALLENGES for which we need to acquire the right SKILLS to come up.

    Flow happens when challenge and skill are in right proportion and hence next time you feel stressed or anxious, get yourself involved with work that leads to a flow experience and makes you feel energized.

    Being in Stress and Anxiety for long lengths of time can be very harmful.
