I am going to be doing several posts on how to achieve your goals. For me, setting 
goals is easy, but following through with them is not. I am very bad at shiny object distractions. What is that?
Shiny object distractions is the term given to things that catch your eye and before you know it, you have gone off on a tangent for the last hour or so. I love the internet and I can get caught reading something that leads to something else and soon I am lost. What about you?
What are your shiny objects? Are there things in your life that pull you off focus and you get side tracked? How do you manage to come back?
This is where goals work for me. If I had no goal, it would be easy for me to stay off in internet land forever. I often hear a little voice in my head saying, “Is this bringing you nearer your goal?”
Start today by identifying your shiny objects. Once you have them down, you can be on the lookout for them and they will be easier to avoid. See if you can eliminate one shiny object this week and increase your ability to achieve your goals.
Here’s to You!
