The 24 hours we all have is our opportunity to grab. How we use our time is something we can, somewhat, control. Time control is about what we choose to do and how we prioritize the hours every day.

Time control is both simple and difficult at the same time. The first thing to do when you set a goal is assessing your current situation where time is a major factor.  Our time management tool enables you to define your perfect week and monitor how you acctually spend your time.

Unrealistic goals and deadlines with poor time control

It is much easier to set a realistic deadline for the goal when you have control over your time spending with possible changes in prioritizing.  Many fail to achieve a goal because they set plans that do not fit the life phase or life schedule. Chances are your schedule is full of other things than working towards your goal.

A typical goal for me that often fail is health-related goals, I define a work out plan that is unrealistic for my schedule. I want to run three times a week and go to the gym three times, to regain my former athletic shape. This is what my feelings say, but my life schedule gives another answer. I have countless times started out with a work-out plan that fails two weeks later due to work, family or other obligations. My goal is not realistic to my current life situation, it will require big changes and time management. Should I adjust my ambitions and think that I would be better off with working out three times a week and eating healthier?

Reduce stress with time control

Time control can help you reduce stress – knowing how you spend your time provide clarity of the life situation and enables you to accept and/or make changes. Now you can use best goal setting app of Android for time management and reach at your goal. The work-life balance aspect is important when we talk about time stress and conflicts. How we use and prioritize the 24 hours in a day is up to us. The first step is to know and understand the situation. Knowledge is a great way to reduce stress.

Research for Health Canada indicate that there are four broad categories associated with work-life balance:

Role overload: This form     of work-life conflict occurs when the total demands on time and energy     associated with the prescribed activities of multiple roles are too great     to perform the roles adequately or comfortably.

Work-to-family interference:     This type of role conflict occurs when work demands and responsibilities     make it more difficult to fulfill family-role responsibilities (e.g., long     hours in paid work prevent attendance at a child’s sporting event,     preoccupation with the work role prevents an active enjoyment of family     life, work stresses spill over into the home environment and increase     conflict with the family).

Family-to-work interference: This     type of role conflict occurs when family demands and responsibilities make     it more difficult to fulfill work-role responsibilities (e.g., a child’s     illness prevents attendance at work, conflict at home makes concentration     at work difficult).

So we´re there again. A new year is beginning and many of us use it as a start on a new journey towards a personal goal. Can you reach your goals in 2019?

Is this a good tactic, setting new years resolutions? Studies show that only 8% succeed with their set goals. Why is that? What is missing here?

Setting realistic goals

For me it is all about setting realistic goals with clear milestones and tasks to reach the goal. Many fail with their resolutions because they don´t fit the life phase or are just to hard to reach. The goal is wrong, and your should refocus on a goal that is reachable.

To be able to achieve your goals, you must learn how to set a good goal. A goal should be reachable, with an outcome you can expect to achieve given your skills, motivation, and values. Then you can reach your goals in 2019.

5 keys to reach your goals in 2019

A realistic goal is based on your desires, abilities     and interests. For example, when choosing a career goal, you have to set a     goal you really desire. If you don’t like math and dread balancing your     checkbook each month, then accounting would not be a realistic career     goal.

You must believe that you can reach your goal and that     it is possible to reach it within a reasonable length of time. If you are     saving money for a big expense, such as a car or an apartment, you need to     know how much money you can set aside each month (or even IF you can set     aside any money) and how long it will take to achieve your goal.

An attainable goal is measurable. Establish a time     frame and a foreseeable outcome. For example, If your goal is to start     your own business, choose a time frame. “I want to my own business within     1 year” is a better goal. The reason you want to make your goal measurable     is so that you can determine when you’ve reached your goal.

Rarely will you set a goal and be able to follow it     through to completion without any problems. In working towards your     college degree, you might fail or withdraw from a course, or it might not     be available when you go to register. These are temporary setbacks that     may interrupt your progress. Reassess your plan for reaching your goal,     then revise it, or make a new plan. Although it may take longer to reach     your goal, it is time well spent if you are doing what you want to do.
