Keeping goals visual and visible is an important step toward reaching them. It is so easy to get distracted by other things, and maintaining focus will make a huge difference in getting closer to the results you seek.
Post a Master List of your Goals – Use a Goal Worksheet, Goal Shift Chart, Annual Goal Chart, or other tools from the Daily PlanIt.
