Episode 133: Getting Clear on Your Goals

It's the last month of the year and we have some goal-setting resources for you! This week, Shannon and Janine discuss the importance getting clear on your goals, especially after a year like 2020. And we talk about the workshop Shannon is teaching on Saturday, as well as our Good Enough Goal Setting kit. Discussion topics include: • We’re looking forward to turning the page on a new year! • How the challenges of 2020 might affect our planning for 2021 • The (virtual) class Shannon is leading on December 12: New Year Reset • How some goals (like Shannon’s goals to travel more) were negatively affected by the pandemic • The benefit of thinking about what you want, rather than about what you don’t want • Tricky goals like “quit smoking” and “lose weight" • How knowing what you want guides you in the direction you want to go • The perils of creating SMART goals that you don’t have any control over  • Our Good Enough Goal Setting kit • Getting clear on what you want: the secret ingredient to goal setting  • The lessons of 2020 and the pandemic • One of Janine’s goals: preparing for the worst  • Some details on how LastPass helps you share passwords in an emergency • Some of the simple pleasures that 2020 brought us • Thinking about goals as pointing yourself in the right direction • Being kind to yourself when you evaluate progress on your goals • Paying attention to what ended up not mattering to you Important links: • Shannon's New Year Reset workshop on December 12, 2020: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-year-reset-with-shannon-wilkinson-tickets-121753250249 • Our Good Enough Goal Setting kit: https://www.e-junkie.com/i/ycy8?card Visit the show notes at www.gettingtogoodenough.com for more links!
