Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Setting some goals for the next few years

I've been looking at creating focuses for the next few years of my life because focus is something I've lacked entirely in the past. These are by no means the only things I hope to accomplish but I've been examining my strengths and weaknesses and determining what I would like to improve the most.

I don't have a lot of experience with goal setting, and because of that I would love to hear the processes other people go through for it to get some ideas for myself.

At the most basic level, these are the things I would like to focus on for the next few years:

2009: Getting stuff done and eliminating procrastination.
2010: Social Skills and Humor
2011: Relationship skills (A natural extension of social skills, but taking it to a new level)

I'm not going to worry about planning out how I'm going to achieve my goals for 2010 and 11 until the years are closer, but I need to set some steps for achieving my 2009 goal.
