Stating Your Goals Clearly

A more effective way to state the goals above would be:

-I will clear off all papers from my desk at the end of every workday and file them in their correct folders. I will begin doing this on August 7.

-I will visually double-check all contracts before submitting them, in addition to using the spelling checker on my computer, beginning February 20.

-I will complete the following steps to attain the Employee of the Month Award for this coming May, starting today, March 19th:
-Specific dollar amount for sales total
-Specific steps to take to reach sales goals
-Working in partnership with supervisor, will review progress every two weeks initially, then every three weeks.
-Follow Up.
