Answering the above questions will enable you to set out more clearly
the goals/objectives you want to achieve in your life and, linked with
your time management skills, to plan the important steps to take
to achieve them.You will then be able to ‘add years to your life and
more life to your years’.

Again the approach is to work from the long-term back to the short-
term as in:

1 What are my lifetime goals/objectives?

2 What are my five-year goals/objectives?

3 What goals/objectives will I set for achievement within one year?

Taking this approach will ensure that you concentrate on those
goals/objectives which are important to you.The strategic element
of your approach will then ensure that you analyse the obstacles that
have to be overcome and plan your priorities and the ways/means
to achieve your one year, five year and lifetime goals/objectives.

Answer these two ‘questions’ for each set of goals/objectives.
