As you've said, goals must meet the criteria of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound). If I may add, we should set our goals in 6 criteria of life : -financial & career -social & cultural -spiritual & ethical -home & family -mental & education -physical & health Thank you for sharing, Amanda. :) <abbr><em>Arswino’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bestinspirationalquotes4u/WLhz/~3/i-IPE3u10-w/" rel="nofollow">14 Facts of Life You Must Know</a></abbr></em> Insightful reading, Amanda.

I find mine usually show up then also. :) Hi Jarrod - Sailing is a great analogy! You've got to go with the wind, not against it. Hi Tess - I like your approach. Sometimes goals need to be changed, you can only figure that out along the way. :) Hi Blynn – Guardian angels are very important in goal setting. I find mine usually show up then also. :)

I don't think the original goal should be touched. It is the driving force and ultimate dream of what you want. The motivation is critical. Below that goal I use pre-requisites of what things must occur for me to reach that goal. Only noting things that must be done. Then I list actions that will move me towards satisfying those criteria. It is the gradient or direction that is most important as I have said before. Sailing is a good analogy. You know roughly where you want to get and roughly how. Then you just adjust as you cruise! I think I look at things similar to you amanda.

I scored an INFJ, although I don't think that totally describes who I am or what I'm about. I find Goal setting a more concrete activity, and I must say am truly bad at it. I tend to get caught up in the planning with little follow through, but it doesn't bother me if I get to the right spot eventually. I do like the process of setting my goals the traditional way with planning, and then going about my life. I find a lot of the time I end up at the right place anyway. My guardian angel must do the work for me. :-) Good Evening!

And it's wonderful to "meet" a fellow INFP! I'm glad you found this post helpful. And I agree with you - I also feel incompatible with a lot of goal-setting advice (and other advice too!). It just doesn't seem to click with me. There is an INFP forum you might like at http://infp.globalchatter.com/messageboard/ . There is a some good discussion there and many INFPs! Hi Dani - I also quite enjoy lists! That's probably my main organization tool. I think I tend to differ in that I revise my lists a lot and remove or add things as I find necessary. Plus, I think my lists tend to be "possible things to do" rather than set in stone. Thanks for your ideas! Hi Johny – Thanks for your comment! And it’s wonderful to “meet” a fellow INFP!

I love to make lists of what I'm going to do, breaking down my goal into steps and putting them in order, and then take action. This doesn't work for everyone however. Just a few days ago I was talking to a friend and I said, "Make a list to reach your goal!" and she responded with, "A list? You should see how many of those are scattered on my bedroom floor!" (Ironically her goal was to keep her room clean...). Organization and lists work really well for me, but I know they're not for everyone. <abbr><em>Positively Present’s last blog post..<a href="http://positivelypresent.typepad.com/positively_present/2009/05/my-entry-2.html" rel="nofollow">it's a bella life</a></abbr></em> For me, goal setting and reaching ties in very closely with lists.

I like MBTI ... and i find most of guides to set my goals and to fulfill them uncompatible with me ... I am pretty distinct INFP ... and I welcome gratefully any ideas on this topic. Because i think that something like this is totally missing in here. Or can you recommend me some other blogs, books, anything for at least NP oriented people ? :) Excellent!
