Well Ladies and Gentlemen, not that any of you really care, but I am making some goals this year. Nothing hard or too drawn out. I think most of the time, people don't complete their year long goals anyway. One of my goals is to set some goals. That way I am accountable for getting, or not getting them done. One of my other goals is to read the Book of Mormon in two months. I am a quick reader, and it only comes out to about 9 pages a day. I feel like a quick read will give a "bigger picture" sort of feeling to the stories and lessons taught there. I had to write it down so that others knew, that way I won't back out last minute.
I have to admit that I am pretty proud of myself for making some New Year's goals for the first time ever. Also, a little nervous. Plus, I can do something for 2 months, right? Here's to hoping that I can learn to grow up a little and start on the many improvements that I need.
Hooray for goal setting. I am a big goal setter but I lack in the "follow-through" catagory unless it is very specific. And even then, I often forget about it all too soon. I think the 2 month goal is a great one! Good job. Round of applause :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I tend to run away from concrete goal setting too. I think because I am too hard on myself if I don't do it perfectly. But I did read the book of mormon in a couple of months once before and I really enjoyed it. The stories really come together better when you read more than one chapter a day.
ReplyDeleteBrittani, don't be so hard on yourself. I think you are a great goal setter, even if you might not write them down. You've had goals to: get married in the temple, have a baby, move to Missouri, get a house, and all the big and little things you do each day! Those are goals too, and I think you've accomplished some pretty impressive goals since I've known you! Go girl!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I think that's a great goal. I love setting goals, but have slacked off in the past couple of years. I like having small monthly goals rather than huge year-long life-changing monsters that get out of control! Although one year I set a goal to read all of the standard works in one year--I had a printed schedule and everything! All I did in my spare time was read the scriptures, but I got it done by November. I like the monthly goals better--then you can have more of them! Like one year I spent a month learning to make bread, another learning how to make tamales, another reading as many Newberry award books as I could. They seem like silly goals now, but that was a fun year! Good luck with your goal to have goals! (was this comment long enough? sometimes i'm a chatty cathy!)
