The benefits of personal goal settings

The benefits of personal goal settings may help you to address the
value of setting goals, they may prompt you to take action. Finally, they
may just help you to achieve your goals.

Firstly, properly thought out and stated, goals clearly set out your
intentions and desires; the things you really want to achieve.
2 Optimum Use of Resources

There are never enough resources to do everything so setting goals


can help you to prioritise. Place your resources behind what you really
want to do, rather than on things you are doing by default or by
deflection.
3 Effective Use of Time

Of course time is a resource, but it deserves special consideration


because it is so important. As Peter Drucker says: “If you want to
improve how you manage time – stop doing what doesn’t need to be
done!”
4 Peace of Mind

Too often you can have many things on your mind. Writing down your
goals can help you take all of those ideas, apply perspective and
priority, then galvanize you into commitment and action
5 Clarity to Decision Making

Knowing what you are trying to do means that you can now ask: “does
this activity get me closer to my goal?”
6 Easier Measurement of What You Do

Setting goals, especially SMART and SHARP goals, allows you to


measure how well effectively you are moving towards achieving them
7 More Freedom of Thought
Setting goals can help to release your creative energies so you can
focus on how to achieve them. You’ll start to look for ways to make it
happen.
8 Easier Communication with Others

Setting goals enables you to clarify with other people what you are
trying to do, and therefore what they need to do to contribute or
support.

Take some time now to think about what benefits you would gain
from goal setting. How might they motivate you to start achieving
them? After thinking through our eight benefits of goal setting, it
might also be worthwhile thinking about both the kind of goals you
set, and on how you set them.
