With my life vision in mind, I try to set 1 or 2 goals in each of the 10 life areas. That is my way of keeping balanced. Keep in mind that in different life areas the effort to achieve the goal is different. It is far easier to accomplish fun goals or learning goals than it is to accomplish career goals. The number of goals in each are may be equal, but the effort definitely is not,
A few of my highest priority goals are:
- Get my weight down to a healthy 185 pounds and maintain that weight
- Start ramping up the sales of JournaledLife to a significant level
- Post on this blog 365 times
- Organize my daily activities into a practice where I have a set daily routine that I optimize over the year.
- Achieve and gate my “Arrive” financial state.
