I am currently reading a book entitled “never eat alone“. It is a book about networking (a bit of a personal weak spot).
One of the first things the author asks the reader to do is write down their goals. Apparently people who put their goals to paper typically outperform their peers. Certainly, major problems exist with the “written goals = success” logic, but there can’t be any harm in trying, right? Some of my newly inked goals are as follows:
-
Read 40 books in 2008 (one of my forthcoming posts will cover the tentative list)
-
See 3 rock concerts in 2008 (This, while not overly ambitious, will likely be harder than it sounds)
-
Make it to the gym at least once a week
-
Continue volunteering at the local animal shelter and make efforts to branch out into other volunteering… speaking of good deeds I thought this was a terrific story
-
Get up 10-30 minutes earlier during the week
-
Get into a different deparment with my current employer or find a different job
and finally…
-
Blog! Regularly! Aren’t you lucky?
