What do you want in life?

Life without objectives is like driving without a map. You will definitely get somewhere, but probably not where you want to. A goal or objective gives you a roadmap, and therefore it must be based on what you want in life or else it would be like having a map, but entering the wrong address.

We have all heard about what makes a good objective and there’s tons of apps to help you manage goals. But before you start writing those goals and using those apps to track your progress, you must ask yourself what you want. This is a loaded question, and it is best to bind it in a timeframe that makes sense to you.

Start by writing down a simple list of things you want in the next year to three years. Think of different areas of your life like family, health, work, education or leisure. Use this list to build more specific objectives with a timeline to achieve. This will be your launching pad to a life driven by objectives aligned with what you truly want.
