Use a physical planner or digital calendar to keep in mind when a deadline is coming up. Hold yourself accountable by setting regular reminders for each goal. Set Reminders- It’s easy to set goals and give yourself due dates, but not as easy to stay on track.

Having a set period of time for which you want to reach your goal makes it more tangible and easier to track your progress. Then, give yourself an estimated “due-date” for each goal and start planning deadlines along the way that will help you reach your goals faster. Prioritize Your Tasks- Once you’ve made your checklist, go back and decide which goals need to be completed first in order to reach your main goal.Keeping a single to-do checklist will help you organize your tasks and track which tasks you have already completed. Once you have your larger goals written down, you can go back and start to add more detailed step-by-step actions you need to take in order to reach those career goals quicker.

Start with one checklist that highlights all of your career goals, write down your broad career goals such as “Restructure Training Program” or “Finish Annual Report”.
