2022 is already here, so now is the time to buckle down and set yourself up for career success. It's helpful to look back on the last two years, as difficult as they were, and determine your goals for the New Year. Here are tips to help you form your professional goals and how to achieve them.

Look at Your 2021 Accomplishments

The first step to determining your future goals is to look back at what you've already accomplished. 2021 was undoubtedly a challenging year, but you'll be amazed once you start looking at all that you've done despite the challenges. Take a minute to celebrate those accomplishments and then use them to form your future goals.

Determine Your Passion

The one thing no one wants to do anymore is just go through the motions. We've learned lessons about how time is precious, so why spend it doing something you don't love. Make two lists. On one, include all the things you are good at doing. On the other, all the things you love doing. Then look at the crossover. That's where you'll find your career passion.

Identify What You Dislike

It also helps to know what it is you simply don't like to do. Mid-level employees are leading the Great Resignation in the tech industry because they are burned out on the work they're doing and the environment in which they're working. If you know what you don't like, you can look for opportunities you will enjoy.

Review Your Daily Activities

What do you do every day in your current role? It's helpful to see which of these things can be streamlined as you move toward future goals. Your daily activities will give you a clearer picture of how you spend every day so you can determine the best use of your time and energy as you choose your following path.
