Professional and Personal goals go hand in hand. On this episode of The DEB Show, host Debra Eckerling dives into Personal Goals with Erik Fisher, Nona Prather, and Michaele Weissman. Erik is the host and producer of the Beyond the ToDo List podcast, Nona is an author and speaker-booker, and Michaele is author of “The Rye Bread Marriage,” as well as other books and articles.

The panel shares their takes on personal goals, what stops people from prioritizing them, tips for finding that all-elusive work-life balance, and more.

What Are Personal Goals

– Erik: Checking in with yourself

– Nona: Quality of life

– Michaele: Managing work and family effectively

Prioritizing

– Erik: Opportunity cost. Know what you will give your “yes” to

– Nona: Calendaring

– Erik: Use a journal/journaling app

– Michaele: Know that you can’t be two places at once

Goals 

– Michaele: Beyond networking, find your core group of supporters. And let them know/show how much you appreciate them

– Erik: Get more and better sleep

– Nona: Do at least 3 things per day that stretches you a little

Final Thoughts

– Nona: Don’t let your goals scare you. There’s never a perfect time to do the things you want to do

– Michaele: Now is the time

– Erik: Maybe now isn’t the time. But still write down the things. Soon may be the time
