In addition to daily goals, I set three bigger weekly goals that I want to accomplish. I usually set aside a specific time that I can reflect on the previous week and then set my top three things that I want to accomplish for the upcoming week.

This has been a particularly busy couple of weeks for me. And I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t spend as much time as I should have, or be as intentional as I should have, on setting my goals for this past week.

I knew I wanted to focus on some healthier eating habits, but was in a hurry and didn’t take the time to think through what that would look like. Instead, I simply wrote “eat healthier breakfasts” as one of my weekly goals.

So, guess what happened? When it came time to reflect on the past week, I had no idea whether or not I had accomplished my goal. Did that granola bar I grabbed as I ran out the door on Tuesday count as a “healthier breakfast”? And “healthier” than what?

How do you know if you have accomplished your goals? Let’s dive into 3 strategies to make sure that you do know.
