The ENGAGED System

---

Have you ever experienced trouble with... getting started on a goal? maintaining a goal? prioritizing tasks? being overwhelmed with goals?

One of the most common problems we experience is 1. getting started on our goals and 2. failing to stay engaged in them. Although we had an idea at the outset, we failed to take action on it, and thus, the things we dream about remain just those, dreams. 

The ENGAGED System works to establish a method for keeping our most important habits / goals/ tasks / dreams at the front of our minds, allowing us to effectuate their completion. 

Do you have trouble identifying what exactly it is you want? 

Goals that are explicitly stated help us identify what exactly it is we want to work towards. These explicit statements meet these general criteria:

• It aligns with our identity and values
• The goal is clear and leaves no confusion about what is to be accomplished
• It is realistic and actionable

The ENGAGED System helps you identify your sense of purpose through multiple questions and exercises so that you may formulate explicit goals.

Did you ever feel you have... too many goals? an overwhelming to-do list?

Narrowing our goals / tasks / dreams down to a more simplified list makes them more likely to get done. 

To narrow our list we need to determine the following:

• What is important
• What is urgent
• Reduce time spent doing things that are nonurgent and not important

The ENGAGED System provides tools for prioritization. 

Can you readily identify what your current goals are? Can you list your top three in under 10 seconds?  What is your most important task today?

Much of our failure in achieving our dream goals is because we do not review them frequently enough. Reviewing our goals daily helps us achieve them by keeping them at the forefront of our mind. 

The ENGAGED System provides methods for daily review of our most important goals and tasks.

Have you ever had trouble crafting a plan of action for what you want to accomplish? Did your plan consider the cost and benefit of the goal? Were you willing to make sacrifices?

Research literature that demonstrates those who formulate plans, create deadlines, and anticipate problems they may encounter will go on to finish their plan. Bottom line, goals are more likely to be completed after you identify the ways in which you will accomplish it and use deadlines to make yourself accountable.

The ENGAGED System helps you build a plan of action, set deadlines, anticipate problems, and learn from mistakes to tweak plans as needed.

How frequently do you stop to reflect on your progress? Have you collected and analyzed data to become more efficient, change direction, or reinforce what you are doing?

Analyzing our progress is important in our assessment of our action plan's system for accomplishing our goal. It allows us to fine-tune our methods that give us good results and eliminate those methods or habits that do not.

The ENGAGED System affords you the tools to track progress and personalize your tools

It is time to realize your dreams.

The program I created is the summation of small, effective habits over time that helped me with my goals. Additionally, it was taking control of and eliminating bad habits that furthered my ability to get things done. My ultimate goal is to help you realize your own potential to engage your goals.

Overall, The ENGAGED system is meant to get you engaged in your goals so that you can bring your dreams to life.
