Good Advice. Sports apparel giant Nike offers wise words for achieving your goals: “Just do it.”
What is the magic of goal setting?
Is it simply writing down what you want and waiting for your goal to somehow magically come into being? Some self-proclaimed gurus would have you believe that’s all there is to it. But there are countless examples of people who write down New Year’s resolutions to lose weight or quit drinking who are back to their bad habits by January 15th.
So how about writing down your goal, and then breaking it into “mini goals”? Is that where the magic happens?
While breaking down big tasks into manageable ones certainly helps, it’s probably not the only answer. There are many people who plan, plan, and plan but don’t accomplish anything.
Or is goal setting magic not having a goal at all, but simply working hard your whole life? Well, there are those who work hard and put in long hours to build a fortune. Yet, there are others who work just as hard but still end up broke. Hmmm…
So if there is indeed a “magic” to setting and achieving our goals, what is it exactly?
Actually, it takes a combination of all the moves I just mentioned to make things happen.
Look at it this way…
Without the main goal, we have no direction. If we don’t write down a main goal, efforts become scattered. It’s like looking at a map to decide where you want to go and choosing all of the locations at the same time. It’s simply easier to stay home.
Without breaking it down into mini-goals (I call these steps), we have no strategy. If we don’t set mini goals we never learn how to achieve the main goal. Suppose your goal was to build a storage shed, but you don’t plan your steps. Instead, you go to the store and buy all the wood for the shed–no tools, no nails, no foundation materials and no blueprints. What kind of storage shed can you expect from this? I wouldn’t store my lawnmower in your shed if this was your plan.
Without work, we have no momentum. If we don’t work we become like a Corvette without an engine. We have all the potential speed in the world. But without an engine or work, we go nowhere.
We need all three to get what we want.
Now, I have an exercise for you:
1. Write down your main goal or what you want in life.
2. Then, write down 10 steps that if you took them starting today would eventually lead to the achievement of your goals.
3. Start one of the steps today.
Don’t be like the Corvette with the souped up GPS maps but no engine. Unleash all cylinders and race smart through each of the necessary steps.

Yearly Ritual. Follow through on your New Year resolutions–or you’ll end up making the same ones each year.
Just today, two of my friends called me up to ask if I could be their New Resolution buddy. One wanted to quit smoking and the other wanted to lose weight. Before I could agree to or reject their request, I had to ask, “What does that mean?”
Operation Resolution
As a New Year Resolution buddy, I would be the guy they could call whenever they feel like they’re about to fall off the wagon. You see, both my friends had tried making their respective resolutions for 2008. For one reason or another, they had both failed to make them stick.
“Look,” I told them, “I can’t commit to being your on-call New Year Resolution buddy. I support your efforts but I can’t be your babysitter. One of my resolutions this year is to quit spreading myself too thin and I will break it if I sign up to help you keep your resolution. Besides, you would feel better if you manage to pull it off all by yourself.”
Thankfully, my friends happily respected my decision. “Anyway,” as one of them put it, “I bet there are many people with the same resolution who are also giving it another crack.”
Timeless List
As it turns out, my friend knew the New Year Resolution crowd quite well.
A comparison of two New Year Resolutions surveys done by FranklinCovey Products shows that people are likely to make the same sort of resolutions. Could it be because they don’t follow through on their good intentions?
Unfortunately, that, indeed, seems to be the case.
According to the survey’s findings, forty-three percent of the 527 respondents say “they are not committed to the New Year’s resolutions they set.” The most popular reason for not being keen on making good on New Year resolutions was given by 25 percent of the respondents, who state “they have too many other things to do.”
The survey further revealed that that more than 75 percent of respondents will break their New Year’s resolutions within three months and almost one-third will break them by the end of January.
Good Intentions
Despite the daunting stats, people continue to make New Year resolutions year after year. (The practice is so popular that there’s a site devoted to it.)
My theory is that people continue to see the start of the New Year as their chance to turn over a new leaf and start living a new and improved life. This aspect of the whole New Year resolution ritual is cool. I’m all for resolutions that aim for self-empowerment and self-improvement.
Then again, as the saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Bottom line: Making New Year resolutions is great, but you have to commit to them. Otherwise, you’ll just be going through the motions of making a resolution you have no intention of keeping every year. That certainly doesn’t call for any New Year fireworks.
So, if you’re making resolutions this year, make them stick. Though it may be hard to quit smoking (or any other vice) or start a fitness routine, keep in mind that you’re doing it for your own good.

Simple Stay-Fit Secret. No matter what the occasion, you have to make wise food choices–or you’ll literally be saddled with some “unwanted burden.”
Did you know that the average American gains one pound to 1.5 pounds per year after age 25? Do the weight-gain math. That adds up to 10 to 15 pounds per decade–numbers which likewise signal the rising risk to your health. For instance, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are directly linked to obesity. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight is essential.
To help you get fit and stay healthy, scope out the top five weight-gain culprits and find out how you can beat them:
1. Sedentary Style
Modern life keeps us from moving our bodies. Cars, long hours at the office, TV watching, as well as all other components of our lifestyle, make us fat.The Antidote: Make a commitment to exercise 30 minutes everyday. Do something that you like (such as walking around the neighborhood) and make a routine out of it. If you’re planning to start a more demanding fitness routine, make sure that you check with your doctor first.
2. Sleeplessness
Chronic sleep deprivation is bad for your health. It causes fatigue and throws off your internal body clock. This, in turn, causes you to overeat and inevitably gain weight.The Antidote: Make sleep a top priority in your life. Shoot for seven to nine hours of sleep each night.
3. Calorie Overload
Let’s say that each day you take in 100 calories more than what your body burns. If you do this for 35 days straight, you will gain one pound. This happens easily, as most of us don’t realize that constant calorie overload (no matter how “small”) adds up to significant weight gain.The Antidote: Don’t fret! You won’t be doomed to count calories. Instead, fill up on fruits, vegetables, and water prior to eating higher calorie foods. Don’t let yourself get too hungry as this causes overeating. Remember to eat slowly and you’ll eat less.
4. Chronic Stress
Stress is unavoidable. Poor reactions to excessive stress–such as overeating and resorting to fastfood fixes–cause you to gain weight.The Antidote: Modify your automatic reaction to stress by meditating each day, taking periodic breaks, listening to music, and surrounding yourself with positive people and thoughts. Gorging on grease food won’t do you any good.
5. Muscle Mass Loss
As we age, we slowly lose muscle mass. This gives way to weight gain because when you lose muscle mass, your metabolism also declines. This means your body’s calorie needs will lessen. As such, if you don’t modify your eating habits, you’re sure to pack on the pounds.The Antidote: To fight off the weight gain brought on by the loss of muscle mass, you have to build up your muscles. This doesn’t mean you have to become a bodybuilder. But, in order to fight the effects of aging, you should do muscle bearing workouts at least two times per week. Try weightlifting or even yoga.
Follow these steps to maintain a healthy weight. No need to turn into a fiend whose life revolves around the weighing scale. Just go slow. Work on one step each week. Keep adding more and more healthy habits as you progress in your get-fit plan. Most of all, always be kind to yourself and enjoy the journey to total fitness!

A cautionary Christmas story. The 1996 comedy, Jingle All the Way, shows just how nutty parents can get when it comes to getting their kids the perfect present.
The holidays can get surreal.
Parents like me who are, of course, getting presents for their kids get pretty stressed out. This is when we lose our good sense and transform into fearsome creatures who make overworked shopping attendants weep.
In fact, I witnessed such an incident a couple of days before The Big Day. A frazzled mother of two (children in tow) gave a toy store cashier a piece of her mind. The woman yelled, “I just want my kids to be happy this Christmas!” (Thankfully, the pixie-faced lady who was the recipient of the tirade remained calm.)
I won’t presume to know what Meltdown Woman was going through that day. But the fact that she seemed convinced her kids’ happiness depended on her shopping trip bothered me.
Happiness should not be equated with shopping–at least not according to Dr. Christophe Andre, author of The Art of Happiness. His definition of happiness does not factor in material things. So, all those people (be it moms and dads or singles) who are in danger of losing sight of what the season is all about should try Andre’s get-happy moves:
1. Accept all the whammies that life throws at you. You’ll encounter setbacks: You’ll be too late or make a mistake or say something stupid. As Andre says, “It’s the rent you pay to live in the house of life.” There’s no point in being disappointed when things don’t go your way. So, when you get irked at shopping attendants or cashiers, simply walk out of the shop to cool off. And, really, is it worth going berserk over stuff that’s no longer available? Don’t take it out on the shopping attendant when she tells you, “I’m sorry we’ve run out of Wolverine action figures.”
2. Get your happiness fix and spread it any which way you can. There are more opportunities for happiness than you think. Embrace the moments. Pay attention to the people around you. Social ties are important for happiness. Shopping attendants and cashiers are people, too. Be polite to them. Be patient when they make mistakes. Also, don’t forget to say, “Thank you.” (This gesture is so powerful–so much so that it is one of the lessons learned at the Kaizen Club.”
3. Don’t ever pressure yourself to be perfect. “The ability to pause, mentally as well as in your actions, is important. Taking breaks is a prerequisite for experiencing happiness,” says Andre. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to find that perfect gift ASAP. Gifts are great–but they’re not the end-all and be-all of the season.
As you do these three moves, it’s important that you make an effort to be inject optimism into your mindset. (For one, it’ll come in handy when you have to outrun all the other parents and fight over the last action figure at the toy store.) “Optimism is an ingredient for happiness,” explains Andre. “It gives you the power to try for happiness, and then when you get a little, you understand that trying to be optimistic was worth the trouble.”
That sure would have been timely advice to Meltdown Woman.
Yes, presents will make kids happy. But I bet they’ll have a grand Christmas with a mom or dad who’s not in danger of having a meltdown for all the wrong reasons. Moreover, it may be a good idea to leave your kids at home when you’re shopping during the peak of the mad holiday dash. Trust me, your kid will thank you for it. My six-year-old did. (I was crazy enough to take him with me when I did some last-minute shopping last year.)

Put it in writing–and carry it with you. Having a handy planner will help you become more productive.
I’d like to share two quotes that I believe are important to keeping someone productive.
Ready? Good, here goes…
“Out of sight, out of mind is a productivity killer!”
and …
Writer G. K. Chesterton said, “More often than not people need to be reminded, more than they need to be instructed.”
With these quotes in mind, let me then share a few things that can keep you productive:
1. Keep your priorities straight. Write down the most important things and do them first! Remember that not every task that comes our way is created equal. While everything in its own way may be important–some tasks when completed give you a greater sense of accomplishment or reward.
Tip: Develop the habit of identifying tasks that if completed so that they’re the first to get your attention each day.
2. Use lists. I’m a big proponent of keeping lists because they help remind you about what needs to be done. Keep these things in mind when you come up with your to-do list: include your most important items first, leave room for unexpected things, add time frames for when you will do something, and don’t schedule things back to back with little or no time between them. Then, when you finish a task, mark it complete so that you’ll get a sense of accomplishment to give you the boost you need to go through the other items on your list.
Tip: Don’t panic if you don’t accomplish every item on your list. Instead, at the end of the day, just place the items left behind on your to-do list for the next day.
3. Get a calendar. A calendar offers an easy “at a glance” view of upcoming events, whether they are today or in the near future. You can use a traditional paper calendar–such as a day planner that’s small enough to carry with you. Or, if you prefer, you can opt for a desk calendar. I personally use a desk calendar as a “real world” backup, because my primary calendar solution is the Web-based Google Calendar. There is no shortage of software programs or other web based solutions to choose from.
Tip: With the Google Calendar, you will be able to create unique calendars within a larger calendar. You can have specialized “sub-calendars.” For example, you can create one for personal use and one for work purposes. As you add new tasks you assign the particular “sub-calendar” to the task. One advantage to this is that while everything can be grouped on your calendar view, you can also easily view tasks by each calendar group. With a Web-based calendar, you could also have alerts sent to either your cell phone as a text message, or sent as an email to remind you of the events on your calendar.
4. Adopt a “Do it now!” attitude. Even the most well-laid plans get derailed when we don’t get moving. It’s not always because we don’t want to do the tasks. At times, they just don’t get done because other things come up and overwhelm us. The funny thing is when we simply do the thing we’re neglecting, we find that it rarely takes anywhere near the time to do it that we may have originally thought it would. In any instances, we waste more time when we put off a task in order to wait for a more convenient time to do it. Isn’t that ironic?
Tip: Keep in mind that becoming more productive is simply about doing what you know needs to be done as soon as possible, as well as using a few handy solutions and tools which will help you in your efforts.
For starters, these moves should help you get things done right through a more streamlined process that will give you more time to develop groundbreaking ideas. When that happens, then there’s no doubt that you’re on your way to the peak of your productivity.

A smiley goes a long way. A sincere smile (or maybe even just a smiley on some informal internal office correspondence) can lift everyone’s spirits.
The most important question that an employee must ask is not “Am I earning enough?” or “When will I get a raise?” It’s not “What’s my job title?” or “Will I get a bigger bonus than the guy in the next cubicle?”
The most important question on the job is this: “Am I happy at work?”
Working Wounded
You spend most of your waking hours at work. In fact, it’s likely that you spend more time at work than the total number of hours you spend with your family and friends.
Thus, hating your job is not just an inconvenience–it’s a serious problem. It can cause stress and depression. It can make you sick. Ultimately, it can kill you.
The death certificate may say “cancer” or “coronary,” but the real killers are the years of frustration in a horrible workplace.
On-the-Job High
And yet, a job can be a tremendous source of happiness. It can give you success–as well as professional and personal growth. It can let you contribute to something important. It can be a source of positive, meaningful relationships with both managers and co-workers. It can, in fact, be a hell of a lot of fun! And while this is hardly the norm today, it could be. In fact, where I’m from, it is.
In Denmark, where I live, employees fully expect to like their jobs. Few Danes put up with bad management, stress, overwork, bullying, or anything else that makes them unhappy at work.
Besides, most Scandinavian companies have a genuine commitment to their employees’ well-being. They’ve practiced this worker-friendly policy for years. Unfortunately, there are companies in some other parts of the world who don’t practice this philosophy.
This is why Danes–and Scandinavians in general–have the world’s highest job satisfaction ratings. It’s also one of the reasons why Scandinavian nations regularly top the lists of the happiest countries on the planet, both in life and at work.
Top Goals
What is your ultimate goal at work? Is it to make a million bucks? To make it to upper management? To turn your humble startup into a behemoth that outshines even Google? Or do you just want to make it through another work week without losing your sanity and your will to live?
Those are all worthy and noble goals, but none of them should be your first priority. Your ultimate goal in your work life, the lodestar that helps you choose direction should be something else and much, much simpler. It should be happiness at work.
Not only will this make your work life better it will also improve your happiness in life in general. And ironically, this attitude will make you more successful at work.
Smile Factor
Studies show that when you’re happy at work, you’re more productive, creative, motivated, and energetic. You learn new skills faster. You relate better to managers, co-workers and customers. You’re a way better leader. If your job involves selling, you sell much more.
All of these combine to make you more successful.
Finding Happiness
And the really good news is that anyone can be happy at work. However, you may not find that happiness in the job you have right now. If your boss is a micromanaging fiend, your co-workers are always whining, and you get bored by the tasks assigned to you then you will probably never find happiness there. If that’s the case, it may be best for you to find another job where you can be happy.
Otherwise, it’s about realizing a simple truth: You job is not something that happens to you–it’s your choice–and your happiness at work is your responsibility.
So ask yourself the most important question today: “Am I happy at work?” If your answer answer is “Yes”…fantastic. If it’s “Heck, no!” or even “Not really…” then it’s time that you do something about it.
Simply Sincere
What can you do? The simple things work best. You can praise co-workers who do great work. You can say a loud and cheerful good morning when you come in. Make sure to remember the good things that happen to you at work - not just the bad.
But, whatever happens, The important things is that you do something!

Real Deal. The Santa Claus Blog is a well-written and highly entertaining spot.
With technology practically taking over the world, it’s easy to get jaded about Christmas. But thank goodness for those who keep the Yuletide spirit alive–like the blogger named Santa Claus, who is the author of the Santa Claus Blog.
The year-round blog is definitely loaded with entries that are a joy to read. Written in the first person, it gives readers a glimpse of what kind of manager Santa Claus is and how he deals with the challenges of running North Pole, Inc. (NPI). There are even press releases about NPI. In fact, I got kick out of the one announcing the elves’ return to work.
In addition to the authentic entries, the blog also features fun polls. The author’s attention to detail is just awesome.
You have to read it to believe it.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

The gift of laughter. Being able to share a laugh over the nuttiest things–like this “music video”–beats lavish presents.
While presents may be the order of the day in the thick of the Yuletide festivities, I still believe that one can celebrate Christmas minus the frills. It can’t hurt if we all make an extra effort to cheer up the people around us. And, yes, there are many “priceless” ways to put a smile on people’s faces.
Here are three ways to do it:
1. Laugh out loud. Researchers at the University College London are all for a good laugh. According to their findings, merely having someone give a good guffaw activates the region of the brain that also controls vocalization. In short, if you hear people laugh, it should prompt you to chuckle yourself. I guess there’s something to be said about a famous quote which goes like this: “Laugh, and world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone.”
2. Ditch money discussions. A study published in Science–a weekly international journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science–reveals that people who constantly have money on their minds “tend to be less social,” as well as “reluctant to accept or lend a hand.” Having money is not a bad thing–but becoming obsessed with it is. So, if you encounter someone who starts talking about bills right off the bat, change the topic ASAP.
3. Say, “Thank you.” For one reason or another, a lot of people have forgotten this simple courtesy. This is unfortunate because expressing thanks has the power to lift moods instantly. In fact, it’s such a powerful emotional booster that even lawyer Carolyn Elefant (who is most likely thrust in stressful situations as part of her job) wrote an article about it: “Say ‘Thank You’ Because You Mean It.” This is precisely why the art of gratitude is highlighted in the Kaizen Club.
Hopefully, doing these three things during the Christmas season will help us appreciate life more–so much so that we’ll go out of our way to spread good cheer all year round.

Workaholic Blues. Your mind shouldn’t be “at work” all the time–or you’ll end up like the overworked guy in this charming ad.
Productivity is a habit. The more you focus on the tools and methods that make you productive, the more it becomes a natural part of your workflow. Thus, I’ve listed the four habits you can develop to help you become more productive in every sense:
1. Break it all down. Break down your work into actionable, bite-size chunks. This will make everything easier and it will take you less time to do all your tasks. In effect, you will be more enthusiastic about working on the said tasks and, perhaps, effectively eliminate procrastination from your life. You will know this has become a habit when you come across day-to-day obstacles and you automatically think about how they can be broken down.
2. Practice the 80/20 rule. Being productive is not about doing everything. It’s about doing things right. Implementing the 80/20 rule (otherwise known as the Pareto Principle) is the ideal starting point for this. In a nutshell, the rule asserts that “80 percent of your outcomes come from 20 percent of your inputs.” Bottom line: There are tasks that require you to invest a little time (20 percent) so that you can reap the majority (80 percent) of your desired outputs. For example, in a five-day workweek, you spend one day preparing a report which will enable your company to make its presentation and, perhaps, snag a client. In this instance, the hours you put in to prepare a good report bring back significant returns for your company.
3. Be proactive. Being proactive involves taking matters into your own hands and looking for ways to enrich your life. Sticking to routines which don’t work is hardly effective or constructive. If something is preventing you from being as productive as you can be, you have to find out what it is so you can improve–or maybe ditch it entirely. Whenever you face an obstacle in your life, you should immediately work to resolve it.
4. Create balance You don’t have to be “on” all the time. In fact, trying to do work at all times will actually be detrimental to you, as this will lead to burnout. It’s important to understand the need for balance in your life. If, for instance, you are not getting enough sleep then you will be too drained to work effectively. Likewise, if you spend more time sleeping at home, your work will pile up at the office. If you get the right balance you will be energized enough to perform at your best. You will know this has become a habit when you can comfortably relax on the sofa and watch a film without feeling guilty about not thinking about work for a few hours.
