2007 Resolutions/Goals
Brad Blackman | Dec 6 2006
It's almost that time of year again. 2006 is drawing to a close, and I find myself thinking about 2007 and how I can fine-tune my day-to-day activities to align with my bigger goals. What's everyone else thinking on this sort of thing? Or am I ahead of the game for once? (I usually don't start thinking about this sort of thing until February.) I might re-listen to Merlin's "Fresh Starts & Modest Changes" podcast series from early 2006. 8 Comments

Stop smoking "copious amounts of crystal meth." (Sad that I can quote the podcast without relistening to it? Narratim verbatim anyone?) I think I have two primary goals. My first goal is easy to articulate: lose 40 pounds over the next year. I think that is well achievable if I can get off my @$$... The second goal is a little more ephemeral and describing what I want to get away from will probably more aptly describe the goal. When I have very much going on at all, I cannot devote enough attention to any one thing. So, for instance, if I realize I need to keep up with my school work better, I end up neglecting other things. When I decide I need to help out more around the house, I end up neglecting school work and other stuff. I never can seem to get a handle on the whole thing at once. Some might say I'm too busy, but I'm sure many of you are much busier than I am. I'm not sure what causes this, but it's one of those things that keeps me from feeling like I am "getting somewhere," even if I don't know where "somewhere" is. So, that second one might be more of a quest than a goal since I can't even bloody articulate it. At any rate, thanks, Chrome, for starting this thread and getting us looking forward. » POSTED IN:
