Goal Planning for Fresh Graduates

Before my college days are over, I jotted down everything I want to do with my life after I graduate. After doing so, I am so sure of what I want to do for my future career, and that is to write and practice what I enjoyed doing most. Unfortunately, I came to realize that something is lacking in my plans. That is when I noticed that my goals are very definite and fast skipping that I might encounter consequences while pursuing such plans.

So I started dividing my oh-so-wanted dreams into short-term goals and into long-term ones. In doing so, I prioritized my long-term plans than dwell on the short ones. I imagined what I want to become for the next 20 to 30 years of my life. I also wrote the actions and the possible consequences that I might stumble upon reaching my goals. After I'm done writing all my major goals, which are, by the way, consist of what I considered to be the most important for me-career, family, financial matters, physical goals, and others, I then made a break down of my to-do lists to be able for me to easily achieve my written goals. Afterwards, I treated my to-do list as the Bible of my life.

Of course your dreams are not going to materialize at a blink of an eye. You have to act to be able to make it happen. If you're a newly graduate and you find yourself also jotting down the bits and pieces of what you want to have and be in life, do not be discouraged if you need to revise something on your list. What you need to remember is to stay focus and review your list every time you feel uncertain on matters regarding your goals and plans.
