After my article planning your goals and stick to them I knew I needed to get started on my goals for 2008 or I would be talking the talk but not walking the walk. One of my important goals for this year is to get organized. Over the last 2 or 3 years I start organizing then half way through I lose steam and slowly but surely give up and never finish organizing. Right now my files are all over, I have stacks of record keeping boxes full of magazines or books, my clothes are all over and are not hung up. Also one thing that really is annoying me is my desk; right now it is covered with papers, pens, and various crap. I have put up with it but slowly it is really starting to annoy me.

As we enter 2008 I look back at my goals and what I accomplished for 2007 and realize I did not accomplish a lot of things I wanted to do. The more I think about why I did not accomplish them is I did not write then out and work on them consistently or just forget about them. It might have been a small goal like organize my desk or a bigger goal like put a thousand dollars in a savings account.

Even if you carry a paper and pen for a week and jot them down until you build a list. Also when creating your list choose things that you accomplish in a year but do not go to the point where you can do it in 5 minutes. Some examples are creating the sixteenth chapel or taking out the trash (I know these are some extremes but you get my point). Read the rest of this entry »

Here we are at another ending of the year. Today is the last day of 2007 and we shall soon be in 2008. After the hangover wears off we start to think about New Years resolutions. Sure we normally make the same ones; make more money, work less, lose weight, get out of debt. But how many people actually stick with them?

For myself I didn’t set much in the way of goals for 2007. Well I made them while drinking New Years so they are semi fuzzy. My main goal was to get in better shape and I have done decent but not near where I would like to be. This year I have done better planning and actually written my goals and plan to stick to them. So without further ado my goals for 2008 are: Read the rest of this entry »
