Professional and Personal goals go hand in hand. On this week’s GoalChatLive, I dove into Personal Goals with Erik Fisher, Nona Prather, and Michaele Weissman. Erik is the host and producer of Beyond the ToDo List, Nona is an author and speaker booker, and Michaele is author of “The Rye Bread Marriage,” as well as other books and articles.
The panel shared their takes on personal goals, what stops people from prioritizing them, tips for finding that all illusive work-life balance, and more.
What Are Personal Goals
- Erik: Checking in with yourself
- Nona: Quality of life
- Michaele: Managing work and family effectively
Prioritizing
- Erik: Opportunity cost. Know what you will give your “yes” to
- Nona: Calendaring
- Erik: Use a journal/journaling app
- Michaele: Know that you can’t be two places at once
Personal Goals #GoalChatLive
Goals
- Michaele: Beyond networking, find your core group of supporters. And let them know/show how much you appreciate them
- Erik: Get more and better sleep
- Nona: Do at least 3 things per day that stretches you a little
Final Thoughts
- Nona: Don’t let your goals scare you. There’s never a perfect time to do the things you want to do
- Michaele: Now is the time
- Erik: Maybe now isn’t the time. But still write down the things. Soon may be the time
