Are you the sort of person that needs to plan short, medium and long term goals ??

Or would you describe yourself as a more ‘reactive’ person who will take it as it comes and aim to get everything done, with little control of direction of how things turn out.

Most coaches, teachers or managers will agree that goal-setting is an important part of a planning process.  It may be that your work day is governed from start to finish by endless job lists or outlook calendars and you have the ability to stick to a rigid structure.  Alternatively, you may be able to set yourself certain goals, but change throughout the day, week or year to allow you to reach the goal.

I think the main thing to realise is that no two people are the same and more importantly we cannot say what works for one person will work for another.  Different goal setting strategies will work for different people in different ways.
