Let's say you hop on a plane with your significant other for a long-anticipated vacation in Bermuda. Your pilot gives you the standard greeting at take-off, and you enjoy the rest of the flight munching peanuts, and watching a movie. Fifteen minutes before your scheduled landing, your pilot comes back on the intercom and says, "Sorry, folks. I forgot to check the navigation Wholesale Tre'Quan Smith Jersey , so instead of landing in Bermuda, we'll be landing in Iceland."
Chances are, you'd be less than thrilled. Now you're going to have to spend your precious vacation time booking a flight out of Iceland!
Funny how ridiculous that sounds when applied to this scenario. But many of us do the same thing with our business and personal goals all the time. We aim in the right direction, jump in, and then don't look up again until we either get there (by some stroke of luck) or we are so far off course that we have to call the Coast Guard to save us.
One of the most motivating - and overlooked - elements of goal-setting is measuring your progress. Measuring your success on a regular basis may sound like extra work, but, as our flight scenario illustrates Wholesale Marcus Davenport Jersey , it has very real concrete advantages:
Here's my three-step approach to measuring progress:
Define Your Units of Measure.
If you've set your goal to be specific and measurable, the first step is to define your unit of measurement. If you want to lose weight, are you going to measure pounds lost, inches lost, or the size you can fit into?
If you want to grow your business, are you going to measure the number of customers, the number of products released Wholesale P.J. Williams Jersey , or the dollars coming in the door? If you're having trouble deciding on units, return to your higher-level objective to see what your end desire is, and then select accordingly.
Set Your Schedule.
Once you've decided on your units, determine how often you're going to measure your progress. Sometimes, more frequent measurement is better. But sometimes, checking in too frequently can actually discourage you. Figure out a realistic amount of time, based on your goal and your units of measurement Wholesale Andrus Peat Jersey , to see some change. Then schedule those check-ins on your calendar.
Evaluate.
On your appointed check-in times, do a brief evaluation of your progress. Get on your scale, check your sales, or look at your customer list. Then ask yourself if you're making the progress you need to get the results you want.
If so, wonderful! If not, why not? If you haven't lost an ounce, have you been changing your behavior to be more active and eat better? If you haven't gained any customers Wholesale Trey Hendrickson Jersey , have you been advertising, marketing, or looking for joint venture partners?
Evaluating what you've done, or perhaps what you HAVEN'T done, will give you a good idea of what's working and what's not. Evaluating your progress will get and keep you motivated because you'll actually be paying attention to the fruits of your labor.
If you've been taking the right steps, but aren't seeing the results you desire. It may be a matter of having chosen the wrong goals.
A home with a lot of windows is very favorable in terms of ventilation, but this situation can go wrong especially during summer when the sunlight is harsh and transforming the room into a huge grilling oven. Resolving this is quite easy Wholesale Sheldon Rankins Jersey , since there are now a variety of treatments you can apply to your windows. You can put curtains and draperies, install shades and blinds, or build panels and shutters. If you don't want anything covering you pretty glass windows though, the best option you have is window tinting. Residential window tinting is usually employed by homes that pursue a clean, minimalist theme, but this does not mean you can't apply this highly functional window treatment to your home. Tinting provides a number of benefits to homeowners, particularly in terms of heat control Wholesale Alex Anzalone Jersey , energy conservation, and aesthetics. Outlined below are some of them.
1) Heat Control
Tinting involves elements that strongly block sunlight, which means you're assured that the temperature of the house will go significantly lower once you treat the windows and wall glasses with tint film. Too much heat is one of the most annoying discomforts during summer, and this often results to less productivity in the household.
2) Interior Prevention
If your home uses a lot of glass panels and windows, all of the interiors facing or nearby the glasses get strongly exposed to the weathering effects of the sunlight. Wooden cabinets gradually fade, paint on the artworks chip off, figurines and vases develop cracks Wholesale Marcus Williams Jersey , and appliances tend to overheat, and so on. Home glass tinting contributes in preserving your interiors and extending their lifespan at a very reasonable expense.
