| Most of us know that trying to tackle too many goals at once is a bad idea. It’s tough to make meaningful progress on any of them, and you’re more likely to just give up. So take a step back to determine which goal deserves your focus right now. Make sure your goal is aligned with your company’s strategic vision. The most direct way to do this is to ask your boss for input: What do you think is the most important goal I can be working on this year? If you’re choosing between equally compelling goals, the next step is to put them in chronological order to determine their optimal sequence. Make a list of what you’ll need to have in place — skills, knowledge, connections, assets, etc. — in order to accomplish your longer-term goals. Be on the lookout for a “keystone goal,” that, if accomplished, makes everything else easier or more attainable. And commit to sticking with your goal for a predetermined amount of time. If you don’t see immediate progress, don’t be tempted to switch course. Give it at least six months. By then you’ll have a better sense of whether you’re on the right track. |

Calvin Sioe (2001551460) Calvin Sioe/2001551460 Menurut saya, mengerjakan banyak goals secara bersamaan berpotensi membuat goals tersebut tidak tercapai karena usaha kita menjadi kurang maksimal karena fokus kita terbagi-bagi oleh banyak goals. Akan lebih baik jika goals dikerjakan satu per satu gar hasilnya lebih maksimal.

Brian Richard - 2001580321 Everyone knows that's a bad idea, so we need to reconsider it again by prioritizing any activities or goals which one give benefits the most. Even though having a lot of goals seems nice, it's really hard in practice. A man need to focus in order to gain what he wants. Commitment is also one of the most important key for us to reach our goal.

Monica Vania Stephanie (2001590796) Monica Vania Stephanie / 2001590796. I agree with this article because when you want to complete many goals, you can’t do it. When you want to finish all of your goals it can’t be at the same time. If you push to do it all, you can't finish the job perfectly. You can accomplish the goals step by step, after finish with 1 goal you can start to finish another goal. You can also plan how long do you want to finish all of the goals.

Dari pada kita mengejar semua hal dalam waktu yang hampir bersamaan dan akhirnya semuanya berakhir menjadi berantakan lebih baik kita tentukan dulu hal-hal apa yang dapat menjadi prioritas untuk diselesaikan terlebih dahulu lalu disusul dengan hal-hal yang tidak terlalu penting atau dapat ditunda.

Edo Roy Edo Roy - 2001547665 Prioritizing our goal is important to do because doing all of the thing together we can make a mistake. in my opinion we must do it one by one slowly but surely to achieve our goal. last but not least we must do it with all our might and be satisfied by our own achievment because there is no such thing as perfect work.

Raden Mikail Akbar Aulia - 2001615205 In my opinion, we can have as many goals as we like. As long as we can keep our focus. If we can multitask and simultaneously work on each of our goals without feeling overwhelmed by it, we can have as many goals as we like. But then, the trick is to prioritize which ones are the most important.

Afra Soraya - 2001600393 I agree with the tips in this article, we can have many goals. But we must choose one of the main goals for a predetermined period of time and keep in mind that these goals can suit us. Commitment is our main key to success in achieving a goal, by being committed and not giving up easily, we will be easy to achieve it. Thank you, Afra Soraya – 2001600393.

Wulandari (2001610583) in my opinion, having many goals is a sure-path to disappointment. You’re likely to end up frazzled and frustrated, as you’ll feel that you’re never making enough progress.

Verent Angelia - 2001609745 we have many goals in our life and try to achieve the goals at the same time, it will make us unfocus to all the goals and delay the time to achieve them. rather than trying to achieve the goals at the same time, its better if we prioritized the goals and focus one by one. we will achieve more goals easier than do all the goals at the same time.

Ghia Sakanti Narendrakanyaka - 2001578374 It's good to have many goals in life but it's better if you only focus on one or the main goal. Choose the goals that you think you need to focus first so that the results will be better when you focus on many goals.

Ferrel Enoch Ibrahim Kita tidak boleh mempunyai banyak "goals" sehingga fokus kita terbagi-bagi. Mulai lah fokus mencapai target kita satu per satu sehingga kita bisa fokus pada target kita supaya kita dapat menyelesaikan target kita itu dengan baik.

mohammad rakhel rahadian harris Mohammad Rakhel Rahadian Harris/200157726 We may have many targets but we cannot solve it in close proximity, so our focus is divided. we should complete one target and then we begin to pursue other targets so we can focus on our targets so we can complete our targets properly and on time.

Jemmy Young nama: jemmy young nim: 2001624651 I myself determine the number of goals depending on what goals I want to achieve, if more than one goal and connected then I dare to take more than one goal but if the goal is difficult and requires a lot of focus then I will only set one goal.

Fatah Panji Firmansyah Fatah Panji Firmansyah (2001579780) I agree with this article, because if our focus is divided, it will lead to less than maximum results, so make a priority where things need to come first in order to get maximum results.

Muhammad Ragil Kesuma Putra (20015839) Having many goals is actually a good thing, however tackling them all at once is a bad idea. so you need to tackle them one by one. there are things to consider when you decide which goal you wanna pursue, such as which one is more important, or which one you wanna do first, and many other things

Kevin Bangun Renaldy Kevin Bangun Renaldy - 2001536453 Dari artikel ini saya mendapat satu hal bagus, yaitu kita tidak boleh atau dianjurkan untuk mengejar satu goal dalam satu moment, mengapa ? karena mengejar beberapa atau bahkan banyak goal akan membuat fokus kita terpecah, dan meningkatkan kemungkinan semua goal tidak akan tercapai, jika kita fokus pada satu goal yang penting, maka goal tersebut bisa menjadi achievement kita sebagai pegawai dan achievement perusahaan juga.

Sri Wulan H.T (2001548535) Focusing on one goal and one goal is the best. As there is a quote saying "it's better to practice 1 moment 10,000 times, compared to learning 10,000 moves but only practice it once"
