Where To Start When You’ve Procrastinated On Your Goals For Too Long

Most people have goals. Personal goals, professional goals, fitness goals, and many other types of goals. Some are short term and are achieved quickly and easily. Others may take much longer. Some goals may literally take a lifetime.

We generally have goals over the course of a day or week. And can check them off our lists with little difficulty. But what about the bigger goals? Or goals we don’t really want to do in the first place? What if we have goals set for us by our boss or other obligations that we need to accomplish but just can’t seem to get to? And now it’s overdue. Time is running out and we haven’t even started. What then?

What if you’ve procrastinated too long on your goals and now you don’t even know where to start?

1. Define the Goal

When the time has come that you have to acknowledge the fact that you have not reached the goal you have set for yourself, it’s time to get real. Did you have a goal for your life, say five years ago and it never happened? Ask yourself if that is something you still want to do. Have you worked steadily toward the goal without much progress? Or are you starting to realize that you put it on the bottom of your list and never really got a chance to work on it?
