Go, Set, Get Your Goals

232 days into 2011, got me thinking about what happen to my new resolutions. If you are like most people, your goals have either been forgotten months ago. What happen?

1. You underestimate how hard it is …

  1. Diet books and ads too often promise full body make overs in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days? Know from the start that losing 1 kg, or increasing sales 10%, will take a lot of time and effort.
    • Be real! Achieving meaningful goals usually take a lot of work.
  2. Do not give up too easy or get caught up in daily errands and distractions.
    • By knowing the difficulties, you can be mentally prepared to meet inevitable challenges.

    A New Great Habit in 21 Days?

    imageThink. Have you ever given thought why you are where you are now and what you need to change from where you are now to where you want to?

    Managing risk is about managing uncertainties and life certainly has plenty of uncertainties to offer.

    For most of us, life and career is probably Good but not Great.  Combination of circumstances and habits put us in a loop of ‘goodness’ which results in a false sense of satisfaction.

    A good habit of mine is probably being persistence while a not so good habit would be an often lack of focus in any one thing, regardless how important that is.  I am very persistence when it come to reading and learning but keep jumping from one thought to another when it come to doing something.

    For example, I find keeping a journal and keeping track of budget to be a desirable and a satisfying habit but a habit of doing it everyday to be very challenging.

    Part 3: Be A Better Project Manager

    HOW TO IDENTIFY PROJECT RISKS?

    imageIt only make logical sense for a rational person to know what is good and what is not.  As the saying goes, if you fail to identify a risk, you will not be able to manage it.

    Any unknown good or possible bad event would be called uncertainties, and I am sure you are familiar with risk preparation strategies such as:

    • Saving for old age.
    • Exercise and eating balance diet for health.
    • Careful driving to avoid road accident.
    • Careful talk to avoid hurting other people feeling.

    The same personal preparation we make in our daily life, also applies in a more formal way for managing projects. 

    Unknown risks means dangers waiting to happen, causing delay, cost increase, poor quality works and consequences which you are not prepared to face.  With that, you would want to know:

    1. Which risk might be most destructive.
    2. What is the characteristics of the risks.
    3. How to respond to the risks.
