Setting ambitious & realistic goals

Going back to the basics to setting your goals and make it is as realistic as possible is very important because it can help set the tone for motivation throughout the whole process of the project. Just setting goals isn’t enough if it’s not achievable. But how to know whether you’ve achieved it? This time, make sure that it is something measurable so you know that you have achieved it.

You can easily measure by using data based on any information you have collected.Optimy tool will automatically collect any data that you have requested in order for you to compare results with all the projects that you run and see any patterns in the data so that you can have a report of what works well and what doesn’t. When you identified any issues – it can help you think of ways to solve the issue before it’s too late to be solved and you might find out that you need to change a strategy or assign different tasks to different person. You will save a lot more time than running the whole project and finding out later that it is not going to be successful and you may lose all your time and productivity over it.

Delegate tasks

Doing everything yourself isn’t going to increase your productivity when you have a team behind your back waiting for you to assign tasks to them. Delegating tasks should be the next thing you do as soon as you have set your goals, this way the whole process of the project runs as smoothly as possible – by delegating tasks accordingly means that everyone understands the goal and you as a leader delegate tasks to each individual that will be doing their thing to help you reach the goal and at the time time, increase productivity.
