Set and Setting

Revise some goal setting related

Why?

Why do we set goals? Why do we need to follow up?
Having goals is a good way to focus attention on the things that are important. It allows us to create a vision of how we would like our life to be. When we have a goal, we tend to increase the amount of time and effort we spend on an activity, and develop effective strategies to achieve that goal.

What is a good goal?

Some questions to concern:

  • Does goal SMART enough? I usually convern of measureable, to me, it’s the most important to achieve.
  • Does it an OKR goal?
  • The objective 100% in our control or not? “Being a senior developer” is different from “Exhibit behavior of senior developer”
  • Goal could be break into checklist?
  • How do we track goal progress?
  • Action is recurring or one off?
  • Is it feeling, like: “Confident to present in a meeting”?
  • Does it align with company goals?
  • Does it align with personal growth or hobbies: Mental health, physic health, networkings, social…?
  • Which changes will help you significant improve?
  • What blocked you from moving faster, better in daily tasks?

Remember: There’s no right or wrong, chose which is helpful.
