Managers and supervisors kept track of employee performance and productivity by directly monitoring them throughout the workday. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 threw a wrench into this tried and true system for most companies. Before 2020, employee monitoring in a traditional office environment was pretty straightforward.

Then, you need to assign tasks to each goal, where you break the goal down into manageable chunks. Narrow them down to the amount that you can manage (usually 3 - 5), but some people can do more or less. Having a to-do list can be very helpful in accomplishing your tasks, but also setting goals. Next, add a time frame to each task.
