Last Quarter Plan - Week 1 : Achieve Year-End Goals
Today marks the 90 days countdown to 2024.
This is the day to work on our 4th Quarter plan to close this year strong. Let’s do this together!
Week 1 - Achieve Year-End Goals
If you’ve set up goals at the beginning of the year, it is time to review the list of goals again.
First, one needs to reflect on how this year has been so far. If there are goals already achieved, ensure you recognize the effort and be proud to celebrate them.
Next, it’s the 3 steps process to review the pending goals.
1) Review the goals and ensure that they are still relevant –
Changes and unexpected challenges might affect the original goals.
Carefully examine to make sure that pending goals would bring value once completed. Decide to keep or remove the original goals ensure that this quarter’s focus is clear.
2) Examine the goals that are to be kept are progressing on track.
If they are tracking behind, reflect on what causes the delay, what obstacles are there, what can be done to remove them. These goals will remain on the list for Quarter 4 prioritization.
3) Consider if there are new goals to be added in this quarter?
Define the new ones as SMART goals. If you’d like to review what SMART goal is, click on the link. https://www.innovateyou.ca/blog/SMARTgoal.

Prioritize based on importance and urgency.
Create the plan with actionable steps to execute towards accomplishing the goals.
Keep track and celebrate the progress weekly.
Review and pivot if necessary due to circumstances change
Finally, incorporate self-care in the daily and weekly schedule. It is particularly important during this time of the year when both personal and professional demands are high.
