Are your Habits helping or hindering you

As you know, a habit is an action or series of actions that we perform in subconscious manner. Habits can be Good or Bad. We all have mix of good and bad habits., isn't it?
Most of us would admit to having some habits, that we wish we didn't have.
To ensure that the habits help to achieve, one has to identify the habit(s) consistently brought rewards and the habits which hindered the accomplishments.
Remember, Life isn't going to pause for you while you amend the habits that hinders your performance. As there is no rewinding better change the habit which is not useful.Though Change may not be easy, you can change old habits and form new useful)habits with decision and commitment.
There may be few setbacks. Do not Give-up.
If you are able to repeat the new (useful) habit continiously for a period of 21 days or more then you will succeed in changing your old habit to the one which is useful for you.
Key is to identify what is useful for you and change to make all habits as useful.

Pro-active behaviour - How important is it ?

As we all know Pro-active behaviour is in contrast (opposite) to reactive behaviour which can be defined in simple terms as follows:

"Acting before event(s)"
"Taking the iniative"
"Exploring Opportunities to Contribute"

Though Management of Professional Task(s) require both Pro-active and reactive behaviour., the task could be well managed through Pro-active planning as it provides structured way of identifying the main aspects of the job to meet the responsibilities.

1. Identify Key Responsibility Area and start thinking as follows

4. Monitoring the progress is also part of pro-active behaviour as monitoring will help us to change our strategies in time.

Goal is it important ??? WHY ?????

"Abraham Lincoln was great not because once he lived in a cabin, but because his Goals got him out of it - Dale Carnegie."

Most of us understand the importance of GOALS and write our GOALS at the beginning of every year, isn't it??

Are we able to accomplish the GOAL as planned?
What could be the reason(s) for delay in acheiving the Goal??

I am sure we can achieve our Goals faster if we realise "Goals are funny things as they dont work unless you do" and start taking action consistently.
