In this fourth text on this month's topic (lack of clear goals), we will look at another factor that may contribute to this gap; lack of planning.
Without a plan, even clearly defined goals can seem unachievable. Lack of planning means not knowing the steps necessary to achieve a goal or how to allocate resources and time effectively.
This reality leads to increased stress and anxiety, because uncertainty about the direction to be followed can significantly increase the development of these highly harmful elements and can also make people feel overwhelmed and insecure about their future.
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
One possible solution is to create an action plan. Developing a detailed action plan that outlines the steps, timelines and resources needed to achieve your goals serves as a roadmap and can significantly increase your chances of success.
However, it is important to overcome the existence of a possible limited vision of the future when preparing this plan, which may be caused by a lack of imagination or an inability to anticipate what you want to achieve, limiting the definition of ambitious or long-term goals.
A detailed action plan, with SMART goals, felt
to be important for your life in the medium-long term and the enumeration of
the resources needed to achieve them, can help reduce uncertainty, stress and
anxiety, providing an organized direction by stages, in which challenges become
more manageable and with less negative emotional charge.
