The calendar I am using for my Original Filofax has a section for monthly goals. I did a little research and found this chart on line. I need to focus on objectives which I can measure...like lose 5 pounds or read a book a month...that I can do.
Comparison chart
|
Goal
|
Objective
|
| Meaning | The purpose toward which an endeavor is directed. |
Something that one's efforts or actions are intended to attain or accomplish; purpose; target. |
| Example | I want to achieve success in the field of genetic research and do what no one has ever done. |
I want to complete this thesis on genetic research by the end of this month. |
| Action | Generic action, or better still, an outcome towards which we strive. |
Specific action - the objective supports attainment of the associated goal. |
| Measure | Goals may not be strictly measurable or tangible. |
Must be measurable and tangible. |
| Time frame | Longer term |
Mid to short term |
I think of objectives more like "eat less than 2,000 calories a day" or "work out for 20 minutes five days a week." I think of goals as "lose 5 pounds." I guess I think that way because I can control how long I exercise, but there are other factors in weight loss.
