Most people think of goals as lofty expectations of the future. Something that you write down while you are dreaming about your potential and what your life will be like someday, but goals don't have to be about a final result. Goals can be used on a daily basis to make every day more productive and efficient.

Focus

Goals focus you. We all know how easy it is to sit down at work, look at your messy desk and huge to-do list and then surf the internet to avoid work. It's hard to know where to start and then we end up wasting hours bouncing around websites. If you have written down specific goals for the day and you have them right in front of you, then you know where to start and it's much easier to get that focus that you need to have a productive day.
