Setting (+ achieving) your own personal KPIs

Setting (+ achieving) your own personal KPIsSetting (+ achieving) your own personal KPIsWhether youre starting a brand new job, transitioning into a new position within your current company, or youre looking to set aggressive goals for yourself, situation personal KPIs is key (no pun intended.)Even if youre stellar at your job- in marketing, social media, or graphic design- its important to set and keep track of goals. Why? For many reasons. Setting goals, both achievable and mora grandiose, will keep you motivated and accountable- on a daily basis.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreAnd, as we said, KPIs arent just for work. If you are struggling withto-do listspiling up at home, relationships that havent been nurtured, or mounting health issues, its important to set KPIs around all of these things.Lets dive into the setting (and surpassing) your own key performance indicators- in your personal and professional life.What are KPIs?KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator. Typically used in a business setting,KPIs are measurable valuesthat track and indicate performance. At the business level, you have two kinds of KPIs, high-level and low-level. High-level key performance indicators include (you guessed it) more overarching goals like the overall performance of a company. Lower-level KPIs will be more departmentally-based, such as performance around marketing, sales, and customer support.Every KPI is only as effective as the motivation it sets into motion. Its crucial to set KPIs that have a sensible, achievable, and valuable goal. For example, to set a KPI that your company will make $1 million in revenue- without any context or plans- is not a plan. Instead, KPIs should be more laser-focused on how you are going to achieve this. If your company has the goal to earn $1 million, what does that mean in terms of generating site traffic? How is your marketing tea m going to play into this goal?How does your sales team take marketings efforts and translate them into real dollars?Its important to make both high-level and low-level KPIs. If all of your lower-level key performance indicators can work together to reach the ultimate high-level goal, youve got a great accountability system in place.KPIs defined for you, in this video.How do I define a KPI?In a business setting, goals and directives can get muddled in an unnecessary amount ofcomplicated jargon. Lets remove all of that to set some real KPIs.Setting your first KPI, whether its personal or professional, means running it through a couple of filters. Ask yourself these questions before putting it into motion.What is my desired goal?Why does this goal matter?How long will this goal take?How am I measuring my progress towards the goal?How often am I measuring progress?How will I know when I have reached my desired goal?Heres an example of a personal KPI you could set to learn a new skill a t work.What is my desired goal?My goal is to learn how to create Excel spreadsheetsWhy does this goal matter?Having a deep knowledge of organizing data in Excel will make me a more proficient marketer- and help me disseminate important data points for my team.How long will this goal take?The course takes six hours to complete and I will break it up over four weeks.How am I measuring my progress towards the goal?I am taking an online course to learn different aspects of using Excel.How often am I measuring my progress?I am spreading the course over four weeks and measuring my learnings on a weekly basis.How will I know when I reached my desired goal?I will have the knowledge base to organize an entire year of data into a digestible report. I will present to my manager.Use this line of questioning whenever you set a goal for yourself. Some goals will be more open-ended in regards to time spend, outcome, or progress. If you can answer each of these questions at the start, you are alrea dy well on your way to achieving whatever goal you are after.In plus-rechnen to asking these questions, you will want to ensure thatyour KPIs are SMART. By running your KPIs through a SMART system, you can keep track of the relevant data points throughout the process. Your SMART KPI will beSpecificMeasurableAttainableRelevantTime-BoundLets set some KPIsAt-home KPIsHere at Career Contessa, we talk- a lot- about success in the workplace. We talk aboutproductivity hacks,negotiation tactics, leadership challenges, and much more. What we dont talk about enough is where you start your day- at home.We are all guilty of letting a few home things slide. We might have a stack of bills sitting on our kitchen table with a post-it reading Do Not Touch and we promise we will get to it sooner or later. Weeks later, this three-inch pile has turned into a table full of unopened mail. Your at-home KPI can be as simple as devoting a specific set of time to organize at-home tasks- or as overarching as scheduling daily home check-ins to conquer tasks.If youre skeptically reading this (hi), you might argue that getting your laundry done on a Tuesday isnt- and can never be- a KPI. To that, we say boo It is our belief that anything can be a KPI, especially if it helps your overall productivity. If you want to be extra diligent, you can keep track of how much time is being spent on different tasks, where certain chores can be delegated to other people, and how to consolidate several tasks into one dedicated time period.Relationship KPIsWhen you first befriend someone, or when youre first starting to date someone, you likely put in a lot of work. You make time to grab a coffee, you have discussions about your dreams and fears, and you likely spend time analyzing the relationship. Where is this relationship going? How does it serve me? What are we both getting out of this? Is this worth my time?After a while, as with any relationship, less work is done to nurture and maintain the bond. As a result, some friendships fizzle off, some relationships slowly putter out, and others experience rocky patches.Its important, especially with your more important relationships, to give more consideration. Just as you wouldnt want to work with a paying client once then brush her off forever, you dont want your most important relationships to umstand into disrepair.Fear-based KPIsAre there certain things that scare you right down to your core? Maybe its time to conquer a few fears. No, you dont have to submerge yourself in a bathtub full of snakes. However, there are some fears that do not serve you- in your personal or professional life.Some fears worth setting a KPI towards could includePublic speakingConfidence at workNetworking IRLAsking for a raiseTransitioning to a new roleYou can set KPIs to attack any of these fears. Use data-based steps to face these fears head-on. If you are looking to overcome your fear of public speaking, you can take small, trackable steps to conquer it. Lets go through them together.What is my desired goal?To overcome my fear of public speaking.Why does this goal matter?Overcoming my fear of public speaking will open me to new career opportunities, allow me to share my ideas in a public forum, and will open me up to leadership roles in the future. (Specific + Relevant)How long will this goal take?I want to take the next three months to take real steps to conquer my fear. (Time-Based)How am I measuring my progress towards the goal?Every work week, I will explore new ways to speak publicly. I can take a meeting with my team to kickstart some new ideas. I can create a web-based webinar to share my skills. I can take an online course on public speaking. (Attainable)How often am I measuring progress?On a weekly basis. My goal is to make one leap per week over the course of three months. (Measurable)How will I know when I reached my desired goal?I will have reached my desired goals when I feel confident and maybe even excited to spe ak publicly. (Specific)Budgeting KPIsWe have to talk about money. When youre not paying attention- buying that coffee, skipping that gym class (and incurring that $15 cancel fee), and taking Lyfts everywhere- your budgetcan go out of the window.Setting budgeting KPIs is the first step toward personal financial success. A word to the wise- taking money steps isnt always easy. But, you dont need to set out with the goal to save $5,000 in one month. Instead, set smaller, more achievable goals. If you spent $300 on coffee last month, try to reduce that budget by $200. Make coffee at home. Invest in a portable coffee cup.Your personal budget could be a great place for a high-level KPI, too. A great place to start is by looking through last months total spend. Separate your expenses into your musts (rent, insurance, food, gas), your nice-to-haves (meals out, gym membership, clothing), and your less wise choices (constant meals out, expensive cocktails, too much shopping.)From here, cross out what you could have gone without. This doesnt mean you cant have any fun or eat out with friends. Some KPIs you can set around budgeting areSpending X less in a given monthSaving X amount in a given monthSpending less on X in a given monthSaving to buy X by a certain dateFitness KPIsFitness KPIs are up to you. Were not here to tell anyone how much they should be working out, butthe benefits speak for themselves. The good news is that fitness KPIs are easier than ever to track. There are countless apps and devices to help you to keep track of your steps, heart rate, water intake- you name it and they can track it.Set your own fitness KPIs. Use devices and apps like Fitbit, Strava, and MyFitnessPal to set and grow your fitness goals. Be careful not to fall too deeply intocompetition with yourself like David Sedaris did.Some goals you can set areMileage per daySteps per daySteps per weekActive minutes per weekWorking towards a raceGym classes per weekDance classes per weekChilling (the heck) out KPIsThis one is worth adding because, sometimes, we need to give ourselves a break. Life can get ahead of us at times. If we arent paying attention, we could go a full year without taking a long weekend to just relax, read a book, and eat a whole cheesecake in one sitting.No, we dont think your chilling out KPI should be housing a full cheesecake. In fact, you can use these kinds of KPIs to focus on your wellness, both physically and mentally. Combine your downtime with going for a walk, listening to an audiobook, journaling, learning a new skill, or spending time with loved ones.Set some time aside for you- and only you. If you want to spend it bingeing Killing Eve on Netflix, do it. If you want to spend it creating new goals for yourself, do that. The goal behind setting these particular KPIs is to give yourself a break from everything and pat yourself on the back.Youve got this.

What Its Like to Live and Work With Chronic Illness - The Muse

What Its Like to Live and Work With Chronic Illness - The MuseWhat Its Like to Live and Work With Chronic Illness Its 6 AM and your alarm is going off. You hit the snooze button, hoping for a few mora minutes of sleep before you drag yourself out of bed. This is a morning routine fruchtwein people are familiar with. But for workers with chronic illness, it can look very different.Five years ago, I welches working as a research assistant at a plan school. I was also struggling with several undiagnosed illnesses, including narcolepsy, an immune condition, and a painful connective tissue disorder. Every night Id set twelve alarms, turn the volume up, and plug my phone in on the other side of my bedroom. And every morning Id sleep through them all. I started every day feeling like Id already run a marathon and been hit by a truck as I crossed the finish line.Why Its So Hard to Work With Chronic IllnessIn many cases, chronic illness limits how much you can get done in a day. You start wit h limited energy levels, and when you add in things like chronic pain and immune problems, everyday tasks can drain your batteries before you even get to work. (Not to mention that doctors appointments and endless phone calls chasing after prescriptions and referrals can take hours out of your day.)Learning to manage your energy levels is essential when living with chronic illness. You get used to checking in with your body, assessing how much any activity will cost you, and creating a kind of energy budget to figure out exactly what you can get done without pushing your body past its breaking point. But what happens when theres just no way to balance the budget?This is a huge challenge in workplace cultures that place a premium on constant productivity. Chronically ill employees often end up going into energy debt trying to keep up with whats expected of them. Pushing your limits is often seen as a way of committing to your own personal development, but it can have a serious negati ve impact on your personal life and health, especially if you have a chronic illness.Pushing your limits is often seen as a way of committing to your own personal development, but it can have a serious negative impact on your personal life and health, especially if you have a chronic illness.Caitlin has fibromyalgia and currently works from home, but she used to work in retail. My quality of life at the time was non-existent, she says. I couldnt do anything except lie in bed or on the couch when I wasnt at work. I couldnt even job hunt because the pain and fatigue were so severe that I couldnt think straight. I ended up quitting with nothing lined up.Chronic illness is also unpredictable. Its one thing to manage your finances when you know how much money is coming in every month, but as any freelancer will tell you, making long-term plans becomes a lot more difficult without that certainty. Similarly, when youre working with chronic illness, you often find yourself in a punkt of hav ing to create weekly or monthly energy budgets without knowing what resources youll have at your disposal from one day to the next.No, Were Not Just Lazy and IncompetentWhen your illness is invisible, you often face doubt from colleagues. Laura, a middle school teacher with an immune disorder, also struggles with PTSD because of harassment she faced at her previous job.I was told I was being ridiculous and overdramatic, that I was letting kids down and setting a bad example by not pushing myself, she says. Even after leaving that job, that experience continued to impact her work relationships. It took probably five years in my current position before I didnt have anxiety attacks if my boss needed to speak to me or I needed to speak to my boss about something.When youre chronically ill, it often feels like doubt rules your life. People doubt that youre sick. They doubt how hard youre trying. They doubt that youll follow through on your commitments. And eventually, you begin to doubt yourself. One day I am fully capable of a task while the next day I struggle with generally simple things like brushing my teeth or getting dressed.KristinaTo be uncomfortably honest, I am probably more disappointed in myself than others are, says Kristina, a designer and digital modeler who has epilepsy. Struggling with even the most basic adulting tasks can leave her riddled with self-doubt, she explains One day I am fully capable of a task while the next day I struggle with generally simple things like brushing my teeth or getting dressed. When your abilities change so dramatically from one day to the next, you can end up questioning your own grip on reality. You know none of this is your fault, but deep down you cant help but wonder if maybe, somehow, it is.How Ive Made Working, Work For MeThree years ago, I had to stop working in my chosen field so that I could begin working full-time as a patient. And it was work, even though I wasnt getting paid for any of it. My weekdays wer e suddenly filled with doctors appointments, lab tests, and phone calls to social services. I essentially had to become an administrative assistant to the six clinics I was dealing with, a biomedical researcher, and a health justice advocate. Just like my previous jobs, I often felt like I was just barely treading water, trying not to drown. Last spring, I finally received the diagnoses I was fighting for and this fall, I went back to work as a consultant with a disability-led design group. Although I expected to feel overjoyed about returning to paid work, Id become so used to struggling and failing that for weeks all I felt was terror. But Im still there, loving the work and starting feel more confident that I can actually do this. Im also realizing that my experiences with chronic illness can be an asset. Theyve made me conscientious about time management, connected me to an amazing community of disabled creatives, and given me insights into how public systems and services are de signed- for better and for worse.Here are three key things that have helped me succeed in my new job1. Learning How to Manage My IllnessThis one was by far the hardest. It was also the most important for me because without access to the right medications and lifestyle strategies, I just couldnt work reliably. I was lucky to have understanding bosses and colleagues at some of my previous jobs, but even with their kooperation, I couldnt get all my work done.Without access to the right medications and lifestyle strategies, I just couldnt work reliably.For many people with chronic illnesses, it takes years to receive a diagnosis. For women with autoimmune disorders, the average wait time is 4.6 years. For people with rare diseases, its 7.6 years. For me, it took 26 years to figure out what was going on in my body and how I could manage it through a combination of medications, mobility devices, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes.Accessing needed healthcare is also the most frustrating part- because its the one you have the least control over. Again, Im lucky. I have a background in neuroscience, and an incredible support structure in my friends and disabled community. Together, they gave me knowledge as well as the strength to do my own research and fight for the answers I needed, even when I felt too exhausted to keep going.2. Finding the Right AccommodationsLiving with chronic illness is a learning process. Your body doesnt work the way most do, so you have to figure out what makes it work better and what makes it worse. Bodies are complicated and so are the environments we live in, so its not always easy to tell immediately whats making you feel a certain way. Some accommodations will help you and some wont, and you wont necessarily know until youve tried them out. Even when someone has the same illness, what works for them may not for you. You get used to treating your body like a science experiment- until you figure out whats most effective.One of the most c hallenging aspects of seeking accommodations for chronic illness is that many of the things you need can seem like luxuries to other people. Sitting in a desk chair causes me pain, for example, and can even make my joints dislocate after a few minutes. At home, I have a chair with memory foam padding on the armrests and seat and an adjustable footrest. Even so, I spend most of my day working in bed, propped up by mountains of pillows, and wearing leggings to reduce pressure points.One of the most challenging aspects of seeking accommodations for chronic illness is that many of the things you need can seem like luxuries to other people.These are things I probably couldnt get away with if I worked in an office. There are other advantages to working from home, too. Astrid works in the aviation industry and finds that, with her chronic pain and fatigue, her commute is a major barrier. It can be hard to get a seat on public transportation if youre young and not visibly disabled. The walk from a stations entrance to the platform can be long and exhausting. The heat of a crowded subway car can trigger a fainting spell. But avoiding such obstacles isnt always an option. I once handed my boss a letter from a doctor saying I need to work from home for a couple days a week but he completely ignored it. Scoffed at it even, Astrid says.In fact, although the Americans With Disabilities Act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations, many chronically ill people find that the accommodations they need are defined from the start as unreasonable. Katherine, for example, has chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a neurological condition that can cause fainting, weakness, and a kind of cognitive dysfunction known as brain fog. Shes an instructional designer whos now found remote work, but points out that her job options are limited because of what many employers consider to be essential tasks.Theres often a section about how they dont discriminate, but as long as there are things like full time hours, or must be able to lift 20 pound boxes, that section means nothing to me.KatherineTheres often a section about how they dont discriminate, but as long as there are things like full time hours, or must be able to lift 20 pound boxes, that section means nothing to me, she says.Part of the problem is that disability rights legislation like the ADA only protects accommodations if they dont cause the employer undue hardship. What an undue hardship is, exactly, is open to interpretation, and when your illness is invisible and your access needs are complex and change over time, they can be easier to dismiss. Unfortunately, theres no easy or straightforward solution to this. What can be most helpful is to connect with local disability rights groups, and to develop support networks with your colleagues. On that note3. Building a Support Structure at WorkTravis Chi Wing Lau is a gay Chinese-American academic whose disability causes chronic pain and cognitive dysfunction. Hes found that connecting with other co-workers from marginalized backgrounds has been invaluable.Rather than on a departmental or institutional level, Ive had to find support in key colleagues that understand this experience, he says Many of these colleagues are those from other marginalized groups- queer/POC scholars who actively navigate an academy that isnt built for bodies like ours have offered invaluable advice and tools for someone in their early career like myself.I can relate. Working alongside other disabled people has helped me to regain some of my lost confidence. Because even with medications and an adaptive work setup, I am still chronically ill. There are times my symptoms will flare up in response to the weather or stress. I get things done, but I cant always get them done on a rigid schedule.Knowing my colleagues will understand if I disappear for a few days has made me feel more able to take time to rest when I need it- which has made it easier to get my work done when Im feeling well. I also feel more comfortable checking in with them about how Im feeling and what I need, which builds trust and lets them pick up the slack when they need to.That trust has been the most helpful accommodation Ive found- trust that Im doing my best, that Ill get my work done even if it takes me a bit longer, and that I have something valuable to offer.For me, that trust has been the most helpful accommodation Ive found- trust that Im doing my best, that Ill get my work done even if it takes me a bit longer, and that I have something valuable to offer.What We Can Learn From All ThisIt can often feel like work has no place for chronically ill people. Youre slow and unpredictable. Youre low energy. Dress shoes, suits, and uniforms cause you pain.Work is changing, though. Remote work is becoming more common and accepted. Im based in Toronto and connect every day with my colleagues in New York and San Francisco by emai l, text message, and video call. Flexible hours are also becoming more popular, as employers recognize that a lot of people arent at their best from 9 to 5. And some companies are investing in new ways to take care of their employees as whole humans, beyond traditional benefits.As digital environments change the ways people work and interact with each other, Id love to see workplaces rethinking what it could look like to have chronically ill employees. What if accommodating chronic illness became a starting point for creating more comfortable and flexible working environments that would benefit everyone? What if accessibility were seen as a way to build workplaces that are truly welcoming and inclusive?What if accommodating chronic illness became a starting point for creating more comfortable and flexible working environments that would benefit everyone?By treating accessibility as an opportunity rather than a problem to be solved, we could open up new ways of thinking about collabo ration and shared accountability at work.We may work differently, but we can provide experience and quality that are worthwhile. We adapt, but we sometimes need tools to help with those adaptations and it is not too much to ask that employers adapt with us, says Cate, who works in early childhood education and has fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and idiopathic hypersomnia, a sleep disorder similar to narcolepsy. We work together to create amazing futures. Thats when the best ideas happen.

Choose the Right Career at Any Age Or Suffer the Consequences

Choose the Right Career at Any Age Or Suffer the ConsequencesChoose the Right Career at Any Age Or Suffer the ConsequencesHow do you get a job that does mora than just pay the bills? According to Wendy Nolin, business and career coach at Change Agent Careers, the secret is not listening to your friends and family.We are encouraged to choose careers by people who observe our surface strengths but dont take into account our values and what is truly important to us, said Nolin. This makes us choose a career and try to wrap ourselves around it until we discover it does not match who we really are.Christy Robb, a career and lifestyle coach, sees many older people who have suffered the consequences of not doing what they wanted to and are then laid off in their 50s after 20-30 years at the same company.They are seeing that the sacrifices they made in the name of staying with a good company are schwefellost in todays workplace, said Robb.Employee loyalty does not guarantee employer loyalty, and Robb said that older people are now seizing back their lives, taking more risks, starting their own companies, living a fuller life and not waiting for an eventual payoff from somewhere else.Nolin often works with clients in their 40s who have come into a greater level of self-awareness of who they are at their core. In the age of self-help gurus such as Tony Robbins and Oprah, we are now being given permission as a society to do what makes us happy.Younger people are absorbing this message, said Robb.I am seeing young people intelligently observing what happened to their parents and placing more emphasis on a well-rounded life, rather than chasing some ultimate out-there-somewhere career height that may not really exist, said Robb.Survey data agrees. Simply Hireds recent job seeker survey reported that 74 percent of Americans believe that the right job is out there for everyone.
