Setting, accountability and achievement of goals - Part 3

    On  the   first  and the second parts of this post, I presented tips for setting, prioritizing and organizing your goals, and for making sure you don't give them up along the year.  Now we are going to see how evaluate your goal list.     So, how do you evaluate your goals with  all through the year? Accountability and evaluation of goals     It's a good idea to check periodically if your goals are being met, for instance, at the end of each month, so you don't run the risk of coming to the end of the year without achieving them, and, in case they´re not, you can adjust your schedule .     It's also good to review your goals from time to time, to see if they fit within the big picture of your life plan and inner motivations .     For that, you must be aware of your priorities and motivations, and ask yourself: is this helping me in the path to what's really important for me ? if not, maybe you´d better drop this goal or change it for another one.     I told
