career/life goal mapping tips
Back in November, I talked about goal mapping as a way to examine where we stand vis-à-vis our vision of career success. As a companion resource, I linked to this great set of goal mapping templates and instructions (pdf) from the folks at Lift International. Adding to this career assessment brew is an article I recently found at lifehack.org called 9 Steps to Define your Goal Destination and Devise a Plan to Get There. The piece refers to “goal destinations” as the main things we want to accomplish in life and that we’d regret not doing if we suddenly found ourselves with “a limited amount of time left on the earth.” It then walks us through the process of identifying our goals, setting a time-frame for reaching them and creating action points that move us towards our destinations. For more inspiration on working and living in line with our real goals, passion and purpose, check out Patricia Digh’s terrific blog, 37 days.
