Its The Year Of Tuesdays
The year 2019 started out on a Tuesday, so every Tuesday of the year, one out of the 52 weeks is gone. And today, 1 of that 52 is out of it. So whatever goal you have planned for the year, you now have 51 weeks left to achieving it. It seems more to me easier to track the year weekly because if you consider the year more like months, you seem to think like you have a lot of time left, but when you look at it in weeks, you are able to always follow up on the things you want to achieve for the year.
For whatever plan you have for the year, if you do not have a way to measure how you are progressing, then you might find yourself just reaching out and seeing that the year is already over and you never really achieved what you set out to achieve. In tracking the year week by week, you are able to continuously modify the plans you have set out and be able to add new things that were not originally a part of the plan. Our plans are not meant to be static and so if you keep following up, you have a higher chance of knowing when to stay on or to pivot. The goal in the end is to make the year count, so how can you make that happen? It is by making the weeks count.
In following up with your goals weekly, it becomes easier to easily reward yourself when you have achieved a part of your goal. And the journey of 52 weeks always begin with taking it week by week. So if you do well in week 1, then it is likely that you would do much better in the second week, and so on throughout the year.
So at this point, no matter the goal you have set out to achieve and no matter how novel or marvelous the idea is, if you are not tracking it, then of what use is the goal? You do not want to wake up one day and realize you did not do what you told yourself you wanted to do. And when you do not follow up week by week, the whole year just ends and things might not be where you wish they could have been.
Know that whether you track your time or not, time would still pass, so why not make the most use of it and ensure that every one of it counts? So remember that this year is a year of Tuesdays and everyweek you have the grace to see a Tuesday, know that one more week is gone and its time to follow up with your goal and plan.
Do not let excuses like the year is still young stop you from starting something small now, start no matter how small you can, it would accumulate in the end and give you that wonderful final achievement you are looking for. It matters that you start small because everything big took time and so is your goal. But you have to be willing to follow up.
So what’s your plan for the year and where are you right now one week into the new year. 51 weeks to go. Get started if you have not. The world awaits your greatness. Thanks and God Bless.
