In this episode, Chris Knutson and I dive into long-term goal setting or vector setting for engineers and give you some actionable steps on how to do it.

Vector Setting for Engineers

Key points:

The best way to shape the future of your engineering career is to design it.  Here is a summary of this episode which can help you to design your ideal career.

A vision is a statement of what future success looks like and is not tied to a timeframe (the question of why).

5 Steps for Bringing Future Predictions into Existence

  1. Write down your single vision/project
  2. Rule of 1% – setting time aside to work on it everyday
  3. Do what you need to do to bring those visions/projects to existence
  4. Set some milestone that can be reasonably met (create a dashboard)
  5. Be flexible about changing your vision, mission, or goal as it unfolds

Vector Setting for Engineers



5 Steps to Blueprint Your Lifestyle (to further guide you with these 5 steps, scroll down to download the worksheet)

  1. Concept Development – define the concept of what you want to do
  2. Preliminary Design – identify what’s required to actually do it
  3. Design Review – review your preliminary design developed in the preceding week
  4. Final Design – commit your goal’s accomplishment to paper again, with milestone and target completion dates
  5. Execute and Adjust – take action on your goal and adjust as needed

And many more…

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, we give you one step you can take now to move everything forward.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare.” – Japanese Proverb
