Generally speaking, I think according to the complexity of the goal, the goal is divided into three categories:
One is one-dimensional single person: some goals are easy to achieve, such as I want to buy a house, so I just start from the process of buying a house and go down step by step, which is easier to measure.
The second category is multi-dimensional and single-person: these goals are not from scratch, but from poor to good, which is difficult to measure and implement, or it is not enough to do one thing when implementing this goal. It requires several things, especially different kinds of things.
The three types are multi-dimensional: these goals involve not only their own participation, but also the participation of others, and the success of such other people's participation is closely related to their own success. This kind is the most difficult.
Therefore, this most difficult multi-dimensional and multi-person participation goal needs to be split in order to be better implemented. This is also the kind of goal that this paper mainly talks about.
Similarly, management guru peter drucker mentioned in his book Management Practice that the types of management by objectives include:
The above three goals are related to enterprise management, but people themselves are like a complex enterprise, so the management types of personal goals can also refer to the first and third. Generally speaking, our personal goals will emphasize performance-oriented or result-oriented:
Performance-oriented goals such as: What is my final result? How many books have been published?
Process-oriented goals such as: How many words do I write every day? (Maybe these words will not be published. )
Results goals, such as: how much has my salary increased?
Policy objectives such as: values have changed? How about self-emotional regulation?
When setting goals, we generally emphasize performance-oriented and achievement-oriented goals, but in practice, process-oriented goals are easier to control, easier to make yourself feel a sense of accomplishment, and most importantly, easier to implement.
Moreover, the process-oriented goal is actually to decompose and split the performance-oriented goal in order to achieve it better.
One of my seniors taught me. After the graduation thesis opening report is completed, I need to start writing my graduation thesis. At that time, it was difficult to think about so many chapters, 60 thousand words, data analysis and questionnaire survey. And I had nothing to write at that time, so I couldn't write it. When I was a senior, he said this to me:
"Junior, you don't need to prepare all the survey data and all the chapters before you start. No matter how immature your idea is, just turn on the computer and start writing, even if it's bad and you can't bear to look straight at it, it doesn't matter. Just write it down. "
With his encouragement, I really started writing, although I don't know what it is: in the context of xxx, in the situation of xxx; With the development of internationalization and globalization, education.
Really, the more you write later, the easier it gets. Later, you found that it was not well written before. Turn it over and modify the previous one. Later, I actually wrote 70,000 words in three months, and finally 1 year was devoted to finding a job.
Really, I can't believe I can finish so much in three months. If you just set this performance-oriented goal:
Finish the graduation thesis of about 70,000 words in 3 months.
This is absolutely difficult for me, but my goal is to write a paper, so I will start writing. Target process management:
I promise to write every day, no matter how many words, but all my energy is in writing.
Similarly, similar goal setting includes:
1, I want to lose weight
Performance goal: within one month, the waistline should be 5 cm thinner, and the vest line should be clear.
Procedural goal: I just need to eat healthily, exercise and go to bed early every day. (or it is too difficult to cultivate three goals at the same time. And 7 points thin mainly depends on eating. As long as you eat it every day, it is good for slimming, and you don't eat high sugar and high oil. Do not eat snacks; Eat less carbohydrates; Eat 7 minutes full and other healthy slimming foods)
I want to speak fluent English.
Performance-oriented goal: to participate in the oral English interview of foreign bosses in foreign companies within 3 months.
