It is great to have daily goals, and I definately keep a set of records through the day when I achieve them ie. 1000 words written, 5km walked, 5 sales calls made etc. But the important things is to have understanding that somedays energy levels or external circumstances dicate that you are not going to achieve them. When this happens i don't despair, it just just strenghtens my resolve to do more the next day I think that this post and the one about Lackluster days are interconnected.

This means finding the things that were BETTER than before (rather than just keeping a record of good things in general, or of everything you did.) I wrote about this at http://www.theofficediet.com/2008/01/16/how-were-you-healthier-today/ from a healthy living perspective, but it can be applied to any aspect of life. I'm keeping a daily list during Lent and it's been a real help to salvage some good things from days where it felt like "everything went wrong."
