De-Stress Your GoalsI know it has been a while since I have done a business lesson video. Let's talk about your mid-ranged goals for 2018. One of the best things I have done for my productivity and my sanity is to create a list of goals that I want to accomplish for each month. This way I don't stress out about how I have things to do months in advance of them actually mattering. The list helps me focus on what is in front of me for the here and now and make time for things like vacations and breaks. You want to be able to de-stress your goals so that you can have more focus, time, and productivity for the tasks that are at hand.
In this podcast episode and video, I go over how I have broken down my year and set myself up to accomplish 3-7 tasks per month. Nothing falls through the cracks and no more stress about things I can't be worried about in the present.
