100 Goals for 2010
Rather than have a limited set of New Year's resolutions this year, I thought it might be more fun to have lots of different goals to aim for. It's true that some of these goals are really tasks and some are projects. But I don't think the goal police are going to come get me, do you? I will be evaluating these goals on pretty much of a daily basis using Goalman on my iPhone. The great thing is that I can enter the percentage of each I achieved. So if I do something once a week that I said I would do twice, you guessed it! I'll enter 50%. My friend, Jacqueline, is helping to motivate me by competing with me to see how many of these goals we each achieve in a year's time. We are both aiming for a 75% success rate. That is, if we do 75% of a goal, that's success, and if we accomplish 75 of our 100 goals, that's success, too!
So here are my goals. If you see any of them here that refer to you, maybe you'll help me achieve them! 😉
