Initial Goals

So, like many people, when I verbalize my goals to other people, I stand a better chance of achieving them.  However, usually the people I tell are my parents and my husband, and since they’re prone to being lenient with me, they “allow” me to slip.  (When I set goals with clients?  No problems.  I’m motivated, and often overshoot my goals.)

In an effort to combat this nasty little habit of only telling family, I’m going to post some goals here.  You, dear reader, are my client.  (This may seem intuitive to many people, but I’m going to have to use my imagination to make this connection.  Fortunately, I have a good one.)

Here are my initial goals, guidelines for future goals and the direction this site should take.  Anyone passing by noticing that perhaps I haven’t fulfilled one of my goals should feel free to chastise and reprimand as needed.

1. Make my goals public on my blog.  (Done!)
2. Make all my goals specific.
3. Write one post per weekday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (unless appointments or vacation make it impossible).
4. Read one book/chapter of a story to my kids before bedtime every evening between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
5. Write one new goal every day.

I won’t make this a goal, but I’ll reassess my goals as I go along, and if I need to modify, I will.

Who wants to take the goal-a-day challenge with me?
