Ok, let’s seriously write up so doable goals. And go back to
that thing I had going in February about reading, writing, reaching, and
throwing in “personal goals” as well.
READING
1) Read
two other blog posts a day.
2) Read
the books – I usually have one fiction, one nonfiction and a devotional going
at once. So read something in each of those a day. Right now I am reading
“Sinners and the Sea” (fiction), “Ordinary People in God’s Hands” (nonfiction),
and “His Grace is Sufficient – Decaf is Not” (devotional). I also have two or
three things going in the Kindle. That’s the problem with the Kindle – it is
too easy to jump from book to book and never finish anything. Speaking of
finishing something, I need to finish one of my books this week.
3) I
can’t think of what else I should be reading right now.
WRITING
1) Continue
to post to my two different blogs a total of five times a week.
2) Work
on my novel four times a week, finishing a chapter a week. That would be doable
if I would just drag that novel out!
3) Write
one short piece a week.
REACHING
1) Submit
one of those short pieces I wrote to someplace once a month.
2) Comment
on other blogs at least a few times a week.
3) Check
my social networks daily, but don’t go nuts adding to them. It seems that my
social networks have grown enough that other people are finding me. Let them do
the work.
4) I
have four speaking engagements from now until mid-August. Maybe I can get one
more, but then I think I need to be looking into the fall. I need to have a
life.
PERSONAL
1) Continue
running. The 5K is 28 days away. I have to have at least gone (run/walk combo)
that full distance by next week, so I could work on actually running most of it
within another three weeks.
2) Work
on my daughter Val’s nonprofit. This is a huge undertaking, that’s all I can
say about that.
Ok, all that being written, what have I done this week? I
don’t know. This is all too new to me! Ack, goals? What was I thinking?
I’m thinking that I need to get my focus on and goals are
the only way to do. I promise to present some finished goals my next post.
Wow! You are driven! Will you have time to dance? Something tells me you'll make time! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead of running the 5K, I should dance it!
DeleteI don't think you need to worry about getting you some goals. These are really good ones. I particularly like "Check my social networks daily, but don’t go nuts adding to them." Social media has that effect, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! I am task oriented myself, and this is a list I could tackle.
