Do you set yourself goals? How often?

I always set goals where I can. I set myself a big target, which is challenging, but not impossible. I set a deadline, then break it down into smaller, sizeable tasks.

For example, whenever I have had to seek employment, I set a target date and broke down the tasks, including:

Qualit online job applications every day.

Speculative applications (telephone calls, in person, via e-mail, etc.) every three months for the same area.

Blogging every day.

Networking every month.

Job Fairs whenever they are on.
