Habits and Goals
"GOSPAL"- name of a goal achieving technique
Many posts ago I wrote about the GOSPAL technique. It involves:
G- Goal
O- Objectives
S- Strategies
P- Planning
A- Actions
L- Learning
It seems complete. But the other day I listened to an author discuss how he feels that habits play a direct role in achieving goals. DING..DING..DING bells went off in my head.
I immediately knew that I need to add an H for Habits to the equation. But where should it go?
GHOSPAL vs. GOHSPAL vs. GOSHPAL vs. GOSPHAL vs. GOSPAHL or GOSPALH
Will the habits necessary to achieve a goal be clear after you have identified the goal? How about after you have identified the major objectives you have to hit along the way? What about after strategy? Or even after you have planned the optimal path?
After some time thinking about it I concluded that it has to be either after Strategy: GOSHPAL. Once you have identified the Goal and the Objectives and determined a few alternative Strategies that can be used to accomplish the objectives it should be clear to you if you need to develop any new habits in order to achieve the goal. These could be small habits that you are missing that without can not guarantee success.
Today's question is:
"How do you determine which habits you need to develop?"
