<v Speaker 1>get your podcasts. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>for thriving in the new world of work, where location

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>and ours are more flexible than in the past. Today's

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>tip is about how to set goals for the week.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>When you have the right goals for the week, you

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>can make challenging but sustainable progress, manage your energy, and

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>wind up feeling quite accomplished. Long time listeners know that

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I like to plan my weeks on Friday's. I think

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>through the upcoming week. I think about what I have

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>to do, and I also think about what I would

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>like to do. As part of this process us I

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>imagine what would make a really good week. When I

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>get to next Friday. What would I like to be

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>able to say I've done. I want to set challenging

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>but realistic goals. I Am not going to write a

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>book by next Friday, but I might be able to

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>write five thousand words. A key part of this is

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>that I set goals in multiple spheres of life. There

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>are the professional ones, for sure, but also relationship goals

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and personal goals. Many times, these goals are things that

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>are probably going to happen anyway in the course of events,

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but listing them allows me to treat them with the

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>gravity they deserve. I acknowledge that they are big things

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and deserve my attention, and that I should try to

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>do a good job on them. So, for instance, a

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago, my kids started school. The older three

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>began school virtually. I listed their first day of school

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>as a major priority for the week. Knowing that I

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>wanted to treat this as an important allowed me to

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>do things such as make pancakes for breakfast and be

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>available for tech support without feeling like it was taking

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>me away from other things. This was my major priority,

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>so every time a kid burst into my office to

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>report that he or she had dropped a zoom call,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I could deal with it. I have learned through hard

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>experience that it's hard to set more than one to

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>two professional goals beyond the basic stuff. Each week. I'm

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>writing three podcasts right now, this one before Breakfast and

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>Best of Both Worlds. I'm writing a weekly column managing

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>general book promotion. I might also be able to lead

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a webinar, or do a major edit of another article,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>or do my taxes. But I can't do all of

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>these things in any given week. But the good news

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>is that I don't have to do all of these things.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Setting one to two challenging professional goals beyond the basic

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>job description each week will allow you to make forward

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>progress on speculative things one at a time. If you

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>choose one challenging goal beyond your daily to do list

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and all three spheres of life, work relationships, self, then

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you can focus your energies on that. Indeed, if one

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>sphere needs a really big goal for the week, then

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you can dial down all the other stuff. I purposefully

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>did not set a major work goal during the first

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>week of school for precisely that reason. But when you

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>focus your energy, then you can make progress. You know

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what you're supposed to be working on, you execute on that,

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>and then when you get to the end of the week,

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you can say, Wow, I did what I set out

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to do. That kind of progress is incredibly motivational. It

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>makes you want to keep setting goals week after week.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>So today, think about what would make a challenging but

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>doable week for you. What goal would you like to

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>set in all three spheres of life? Focus on that

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>one thing beyond the basics, and you'll probably do it

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and that will feel great. In the meantime, this is Laura,
