Goal Setting – How to analyse problems

In today’s article, we will provide a quick overview on how to analyse problems that you may face in goal-setting. It is simply known as the 1, 2 & 3 of analysing a problem.

Analyse the Symptoms

Identify Possible Causes

Check out the possible causes to see if they are indeed the problem.

The system works well because you are able to identify the exact problem by first working out what the symptoms are, and then running through the possible causes until you can establish a cause.

Lets do an example.

Analyse the symptoms
Motorbike splutters and stops
Identify Possible Causes
No petrol
Faulty Engine
Battery
Check for possible causes
Check petrol tank
Check Engine
Check Battery

Hopefully the above method will help you solve some of your everyday goal setting problems.

Health – Benefits of Broccoli

If you have been reading the ezine for any length of time you will know that we love broccoli, and that it is loaded with health benefits. Below is a list of further reasons why you should consider it as part of your diet.

Key benefits of broccoli
Broccoli has many benefits as it both builds health and has the potential to prevent cancer. It also helps to lower the risk of stroke and heart diseases and may reduce the risk of cataracts as well. It is rich in nutrients, helps fight anaemia and also lessens the risk of spina bifida. Broccoli activates the body's own detoxifying enzyme systems.

How much broccoli should you eat?
This vegetable is low in calories and can be eaten freely. 170g a day provides over half the daily recommended intake of folate.

Maximising the benefits of broccoli
Broccoli should only be boiled or steamed very briefly, otherwise it can lose a major portion of its beneficial components.

Parenting – Spending time with your family

The more positive time you spend with your family, the more likely your family is going to work well, and the less likely your kids are to have problems. Below is a list of activities and things you can do to maximise your time together as a family.

Have breakfast together: Instead of running out the door with toast in hand, try and sit down together in the morning. It will be a great start to the day.

Make chores a team effort: Chores can be fun – and quicker – if you do them all together. You would be surprised at the conversation that can arise during cleaning.

Fun bedtime routine: Do something that works for you and your children. Both of you will then look forward to it.

Book one night a week with your family: One night a week arrange to do something as a family. It will go into the memory books!!!

Play games together: Doesn’t even need an explanation.

Plan holiday’s together: This works especially well as your kids are getting older – they might even want to come.

In other views…

Your editor is now recovering from his car accident. Apart from a hernia which he discovered that he had last night and will have to get fixed, he is ok.

In other news, your editor also discovered that there is a neighbourhood fox, who seems fixated with his bins and rubbish. Each night your editor tries to securely tie down the bin, but the fox still out smarts him. He came face to face with it the other morning…only for a few seconds and then it ran off.

‘I don’t know what I can do to stop the fox opening the bin’ your editor said to his wife.

‘why don’t you put them in the garage instead of leave them outside?’ his wife responded.

‘That could work!!!’


Cheers
