Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: PACT (Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, Tracked)

[ysabetwordsmith]

This year during Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I'm writing about goal-setting frameworks for goals_on_dw. Read Part 1: Introduction to Goal-Setting Frameworks, Part 2: The 1-3-5 Rule, Part 3: The 12-week Year, Part 4: ABCS (Achievable, Believable, Committed, Specific), Part 5: Backward Goal, Part 6: BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals), Part 7: BSQ (Think Big, Act Small, Move Quick), Part 8: CLEAR (Collaborative, Limited, Emotional, Appreciable, Refinable), Part 9: Goal Pyramid, Part 10: Golden Circle, Part 11: GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward), Part 12: HARD (Heartfelt, Animated, Required, Difficult), Part 13: KPI (Key Performance Indicators), Part 14: MASTER (Measurable, Achievable, Specific, Transforming, Evolving, Relevant), Part 15: NCT (Narratives, Commitments, and Tasks), Part 16: OKR (Objectives, Key Results), Part 17: PACT (Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, Tracked).


Part 17: PACT (Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, Tracked)

PACT establishes goals that are Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, and Tracked. Purposeful means that the goal supports a meaningful achievement or a key mission within an organization. Aligned means that it matches other objectives and follows the chosen strategy. Continuous means that it requires ongoing work. Tracked means that someone monitors the steps required to meet the goal, ticks them off as completed, and adjusts as needed for changing circumstances to keep on course.

Signup Post: Sunshine Revival in 2025

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is the signup post for the sunshine_revival blogging challenge in 2025. It's a new version of the now defunct sunshine_challenge.

The parameters are simple: Prompts will appear on sunshine_revival  in July, and you make stuff inspired by them. Most people choose writing, but it doesn't have to be. Post something like "I signed up for the Sunshine Revival challenge at goals_on_dw" in your blog, then put a "Sunshine Revival" tag in your blog to make it easier for other people to find your entries. Adding "Sunshine Revival" to your Interests will also help identify you as a participant or reader. (It is best to use exactly the phrase "Sunshine Revival" because DW search tools don't recognize variations as the same topic, and to attach the tag to a post so it sticks.) Another good idea is setting up a masterlist where you can link your posts as you make them, which may or may not be part of your announcement post. Then make a comment below this post with details about your goal. You don't have to sign up to participate, it just helps spread the word and attract more readers.

Primary posting will run July 1 -- July 31, 2025.
