Goals 2011
*Find a job which better suits me. Ideally, this will be a set schedule (8-5 M-F) but it does not have to be traditional.
*Finish my novella before my 30th birthday (28 August 2011).
*Learn watercolours.
*Apply to graduate schools. I would like to return to graduate studies in the fall.
*Treat With Eyes Lifted like a business. This means ordering business cards and marketing my shop. It also mean making new pieces.
*Budget my time and money.
*Craft from my stash.

*Create a website. I have not had a website since 2005. My new website will be a landing page for my portfolio and résumé (for freelancing), bio, shop and blog.
*Send out birthday and anniversary cards for family and friends. I manage to do this for almost two years, but I fell out of the habit when I moved. I need to get on this because my youngest sister's birthday is next Monday.
*Purchase a DSLR camera.
*Get fit. I do not want to be a size 2. I just want to tone.
*Take care of myself. This is related to getting fit, but it is much more. I want to live a life in balance. I do not want to be anxious.
*Eat food with as few ingredients as possible. This means eating out less, which will mean I spend less money.

*Wear clothes I like rather than what is convenient for work. Which means I need to get on the alternative job front.
A fine line exists between resolution and goal. Goals direct the decisions we make, the life we lead. I want to live a life defined by my choices. Now that my goals are public, I will hold myself accountable. I will update when I cross something off my list.
Balance is important. One of my big goals for this year is to find some kind of balance. My problem is that I don't make enough time for ME which I'm determined to change.
ReplyDeleteI certainly need to get fit as well. I find that I never have enough time for working out and just eat what's quick - probably the same problems you're having. Unfortunately, I don't pull it off as well. ;)
