How to Stop Procrastinating: a simple Guide to Mastering Difficult Tasks and Breaking the Procrastination Habit

Action #6: Evaluate Your Quarterly Goals
You work hard on your goals every day. The problem? Some people never
take a step back and understand the “why” behind each goal. In other
words, people don’t review their goals to see if they’re 
actually 
worth
pursuing. That’s why it’s important to evaluate your goals every three
months, make sure they’re aligned with your life purpose, and then create
new goals based on what you’ve learned.
You can complete this evaluation by answering questions like:
Have I attained the desired outcome?
What were the successful 
and
unsuccessful strategies?
Did I put 100% of my effort toward completing these goals? If not,
why?
Have I achieved results consistent with my efforts?
Should I create a similar goal for the next quarter?
What goals should I eliminate or alter?
Is there anything new I’d like to try?

---

Even though it takes a few hours to complete this evaluation, you should
take time to do it every quarter. It will be your ultimate safeguard against
wasting time on a goal that 
doesn’t 
align with your long-term plans.
Now, the best way to make sure you have enough time to work on these
goals is to remove everything from your life that prevents you from taking
action, which is what I’ll cover in the next step.
