Category Archives: Performance Tracking in Professional and Personal life
It is generally expected that in the workplace your performance will not only be monitored by tracked as well. Typically you find yourself sitting down with the boss every three to six months to review your performance track record. In this meeting he or she asks how you are feeling about your work, the challenges, the benefits, suggestions and/or concerns. This is followed by setting general or specific objectives for the next three to six months. This method of employee maintenance is effective for several reasons; employees are motivated by continual goal setting, employees see their efforts on a tangible report, employees receive praise and rewards for their achievements, employees are able to voice suggestions and concerns.
English Metas challenges you to incorporate the employee performance method into your personal life. What would it look like if you sat down and evaluated your personal life every six months? Are you achieving your goals? Are you setting realistic objectives? What steps are you taking to meet these objectives?
All companies have a mission statement. A statement that serves as their identity and purpose. What would your personal mission statement be? Here is an example from the Internet:
I am a healthy person who has the wisdom to know what I can and cannot control in my life, and act accordingly.
Take the time to sit down and map out your professional and personal goals for the next year. Revisit your objectives every couple of months to evaluate your progress. Maybe your goal is to increase your salary by 10 percent and take your family on a vacation in the fall. This is a combination of professional and personal goal setting. You do not need the 10 percent raise to take your family on a vacation (you can take them camping for cheap), however, your family vacation may be nicer with a larger salary.
The purpose of these exercises is to keep you motivated and happy in both your professional and personal life. Happy goal setting and achieving!
