Have you heard about “the great lock in”?
This year, people are using September – December to get focused.
“Locking in” on goals they had for the year and haven’t yet accomplished.
The suggestion is to pick just one goal.
Some say you can do up to 3 in different areas of your life.
My Perspective
I love this trend.
I would also change some things.
The trend capitalizes on fall energy.
The season of back to school.
An opportunity for a fresh start.
Getting serious after summer fun.
So, using this time of year to accomplish goals is perfect.
The one thing I would change is the timeframe.
Instead of September – December, I would place the end time in mid-November.
The last six weeks of the year from mid-November through December shift in focus.
We move from the productive season to the holiday season.
We are busy with all kinds of activities.
And tend to shift focus to reflecting on the year & setting plans for the year ahead.
If you have an unmet goal and that feeling of fall energy, take advantage of the next 10 weeks.
70 days. Just 30 minutes of focus on your goal each day = 35 hours of focus.
Your Turn
Do you feel the fall energy?
What is one unmet goal you have for the year?
How can you focus on that goal for 30 minutes today to kick start a plan?
