Do you set goals for the week?

Do you set personal or professional goals at the beginning of the week? If so, how does it seem to help you?

I prefer daily goals; I have a (huge) list of things to do, and then each day I decide which to achieve
Daniil Glezer
@hazheyworth thats awesome, how do you prioritize?
TCM
@daniilgdg Instead of prioritising, I categorise my tasks into one of two 'buckets' - 'brainless tasks' (i.e. the chores that I need to do for my business) and everything else. So, if I am feeling tired, unmotivated, not creative etc, I work on the 'brainless tasks'. Otherwise, if I am feeling good and productive, I work on my other tasks. In terms of choosing the order in which i do the tasks within each bucket, I prioritise everything that is needed for general upkeep, and then work backwards from my nearest goal. So, ask yourself, what are the tasks I need to achieve to keep my business running. If you've done those, what are the tasks that you need to achieve to complete you next goal?
Most important task in priority. Things I don't want to do, and that bring low value... last. This helps me stay focused and keep going. Without goals, I do nothing! What about you ?

@jacquelinclem i also try to prioritize! It helps when our team plans the sprints as a whole as well, so were all on the same page

Clarity on what needs to be executed and how makes it easier to do those things. Else you end up wasting time trying to figure these things on run time.
Daniil Glezer
@archisman_das definitely, i feel like that boils down to communication between team members for me now. How do you manage to gain clarity for tasks?
Archisman Das
@daniilgdg The context for me has changed over last few months as I moved from my previous co to a startup. But I would say the alignment first needs to exist at a macro level for instance what are the key goals and priorities for your quarter and then you can focus on weekly alignment. Weekly alignment probably can happen over sprint planning.
Daniil Glezer
@archisman_das Definitely agree, having "north star" type macro goals helps maintain perspective on a weekly basis
Андрей Олейник
Not really. I feel under pressure when I set many goals.
Daniil Glezer
@balrog_the_great Thats an interesting take, do you feel like keeping calm helps you complete the tasks you need to organically?
Jan Forsthuber
Especially for this week. To be #1 product of the day today, haha :D
Galia Ben David
@forst rooting for you! What’s your product?
Jan Forsthuber

Galia Ben David

Valeria Migova
I set goals for both the week and every day. As a planning tool I like to use Weje. It helps me stay productive :)
Daniil Glezer
@vmigova i havent tried Weje, ill look into that!

weekly short-term goals are important to keep track of the progress of long-term goals. ⌚
Daniil Glezer
@hamedbaatour I really feel this
Dov Kaufmann
Definitely! Setting goals is the best way to see if you're improving. Its a constant learning process.
Daniil Glezer
@dov_kaufmann I agree! Measuring your goals is key
Mahak from Outgrow
yes, I always check my planner what is pending and what is next. Set the priorities and do it anyway. It's like more scheduling rather than setting any specific goal.
Daniil Glezer
@mahak I like the idea of scheduling! Planning around big events can make a lot of sense
Ender
I have weekly KPIs. That is all.
Daniil Glezer
@enderm Thats awesome! Are they purely professional or do you have them for your life outside work as well?
