(Time Management, Paper III – Goal Setting)
NESTED
GOALS
- Time is limited, ambition is not.
- Every ambition leads to multiple short and long term goals.
- NEST YOUR GOALS, so that while finishing one task, you can simultaneously finish another.
Eg. 1)
Consider the following goals: i) creating a good impression at work, ii)
catching up with friends, iii) giving a pleasant surprise to
boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. How can you nest these goals?
Ans. Suggest
to your superior that you are willing to work behind regular working hours.
Stay back a couple of hours after everyone else has left. Surveillance will be
low, so use this time to chat with your friends. While chatting, ask everyone
about nice, romantic and low-cost surprize gift ideas.
Eg. 2) You
have joined a cooking class, a book club and a yoga course. You only have some
free time in the evening. You have the following goals: i) trying out creative
cooking, ii) finishing a book within a week, iii) practicing Yoga. How do you
nest them?
Ans. Choose
a recipe that has a moderately long slow cooking phase where you are only
supposed to sit and wait. While waiting, do Yoga. Procure an audio version of
the book you are supposed to read and listen to it while doing Yoga.
