#9 Time Based Goals

Original excerpt from 9 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission

Dr. Robert H. Goddard at Clark University 1924, “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”

Don’t skip the fundamental steps for goal setting.  Design your goals the way an architect drafts his building plans.  First, he has the vision in his head.  Next he sketches the ideas onto paper.  Then he drafts the blueprints to scale.  After that he may cut out a model.  Before any building takes place you better believe he will test the soil for foundation strength.  Your timeline like the architect’s is critical to project managing the events needed to complete the goal.
