    Lightbulb Goals!

    Just thought I'd start another one of those motivational threads...

    So what goals would you like to set for yourself?

    I want to get a place with my fiancee by April.

    I want to start dancing again before the end of December.

    I want to lose 10 pounds before I start dancing.

    I want to get a good plan set up for what classes I need to take in order to get my BA as quickly as possible, including options for classes during the summer.

    You?

    Short term: Work everyday from now until december 20th, and make 7k.

    Long term: look into getting back to school.

    My goals:

    Either get a full time job or start a business. I once had a business but it went belly up. Unfortunately with this economy I may have to start a freelancing pr job or so.

    Everyone has heard about the guy situation but I'm working on this. I am writing him a Christmas card and if he doesn't respond I'm going to start looking for a new boyfriend. My goal is to be engaged or close to it by next Christmas. I am going to be 40 in January and want to have a child or two by the time I am 45.

    Making my confirmation in the spring. I don't even know why I'm doing this except I promised God I would, thinking it would help me find a job or the one I want would be ready to commit.

    By next Christmas I want to move, maybe in with a boyfriend (the one I want or a new guy).

    Get back in shape. I've put on weight and I hate it. I'm not fat but still larger than I'm used to.

    Pay off my bills. When I get a job I am paying off my car and my credit cards.

    I want to continue doing a great job with my running and run a fast marathon in Miami.

    After the marathon I want to swim 3 days a week again with a master's team.

    Get on my bike by the end of feb. so i just might be ready for a half ironman in the late spring.

    Not live in Tucson during the summer.

    That is all for now.

    Work four nights a week again instead of three. I actually did the math, and damn, 20k+ increase per year... Pretty motivating.

    Be a better girlfriend. I'm a lazy pile of shit when I'm not working or in school, and my natural state of inertia/pessimism probably brings him down.

    Cultivate more friendships and maintain the ones I already have. I can easily go months without socializing, and I rarely even pick up the phone when people call. I've also fallen apart from a few friends because I've carried minor grudges that I'm too lazy to talk about. Every once in a while I remember that I actually really like these people, though, and regret neglecting relationships.

    Finish up school. I'm on my sixth year. Even though I'm a pretty good student, the system is corrupt and ineffective, I cringe whenever I pay tuition, experience tremendous boredom in lower level required classes, and tremendous stress in my upper level major classes (English) because I feel irrationally pressured to create works of genius. Hence I've taken forever.

    After finishing up school, looking into resume building second shift jobs in any field.

    Fixing my sleep schedule

    Losing 10lbs

    Figuring out once and for all whether to get a boob job. I've been intermittently obsessed with it for years. I have the money so that's not even the issue. Just laziness I guess.

    Stop being so fucking lazy!

    Start writing again.

    A bunch of other things but I'm too lazy to write more.

    work a lot

    make a lot of money

    start travelling for work the way i've wanted to since i started

    get back into shape

    look hawt

    blahblahblah. i've got specifics written down, and i'm working on making them more specific and detailed. don't believe in broadcasting my goals. i feel like they lose their oomph if i tell people what i'm up to. but that's basically what they are. serious stuff, pretty much zero frilly fun stuff. after having a broken foot last year and being broke financially, nothing seems as fun as working hard and watching my bank balances tick up.
    -love everyone but keep them far from your soul-

    So the results:

    Short Term: Made my 7K, didn't work every night though. Ah well.

    Long Term: Looked into it. Have yet to decide whether or not it's what I really want.

    In my mind, I 'completed' both goals, although in writing in kinda looks 50/50.
