I’m taking this whole resolution thing pretty seriously right now. The realization that I accomplished almost none of my 2010 goals is pretty shocking. Even if you take into account my crafting related goals, I only accomplished three and a half of my goals. (The half comes from the fact that did do Tarot readings every day for about the first eight months or so of the year, but then I kinda started to forget to do them…)
Now, if I had only made four or five goals, that wouldn’t be too bad. But I made a lot of goals, and nearly all of them should have been achievable. But I didn’t achieve them because:
- I didn’t have a plan.
- I was too easily sidetracked by shinier, more exciting seeming projects.
- I’m way lazier than I like to admit.
So, instead of admitting defeat, I thought I would do a little bit of research into getting resolutions and mid-term length goals. What did I learn: You gotta have a plan if you want to succeed.
Planning, eh? Well, that isn’t my strong suit. I’m all about waiting for the perfect day to start something. Waiting until I can put together the perfect plan. And, all of that waiting generally comes to naught. Remember how I was so gung-ho on loosing weight? Yeah, I haven’t made any progress (I may have even gained some weight).
No plan = no results. The problem is, I just don’t know how to plan.
