🎯 The Alignment Habit

If you’re driving in a direction that’s misaligned with where you want to get to, you’ll end up in a totally different place, no matter how fast you drive.

The way to avoid this is to apply The Alignment Habit, which involves regularly reflecting on your direction.

Start by setting goals at the beginning of each year. Ask yourself:

What do I actually want?

What goals do I have?

What direction am I going in?

What’s the destination I’m aiming for?

You don’t need to be fully wedded to the goals, but they create a direction you can start moving in.

Then, every three months, review these goals and decide:

Is this still a goal I want to achieve?

What are my action items over the next three months to achieve my goal?

On top of that, you can also try to do a weekly review to be sure that your goals are aligned with your values and priorities and that you’re following the right direction.

The weekly review could involve the following steps:

Review the previous week’s accomplishments and challenges

Look ahead to the next two weeks and see what’s coming up

Revisit your goals to ensure they’re still aligned with your priorities

Review and update your to-do list to ensure you’re on track

Choose your top 3 outcomes for the upcoming week

Schedule time in your calendar to work towards those outcomes

Studies have shown that regular reflection and goal-setting are essential components of personal growth and achievement. So, by consciously evaluating your trajectory and making adjustments as necessary, you not only clarify your intentions but also increase your likelihood of success.

As Simon Sinek explains in his book “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action”, clarifying one’s purpose and aligning actions with that purpose is essential to driving meaningful change.

The following trimester is about to start, and it might just be the perfect time to set goals and implement The Alignment Habit.
