My Goals

In my last post I talked about my lack of follow through and listed out 5 steps from ehow.com on how to follow through...Step 1 is Write Down Your Goals so here the start to my list of 30 Goals to accomplish while I am 30!

1). Complete CPSM Certification
Up to this point the only thing I have done is order the materials! I really need to sign up for the classes and complete the certification. Not only will this certification help me in my current job, it will also help me throughout my career...any hey-my company is paying for it!!

2). Learn to Meditate
I really feel like I need balance in my life and for some reason, mediation just keeps calling to me. I have downloaded a book to my Kindle about meditation but have not yet made the time to read it!

3). Read "The Secret"
I have heard from a number of people how great this book is...including Oprah so I would really like to take the time to read it!

4). Be on Time
I am not one of those people that is ALWAYS late, but I do have a tendency to "push it". By always "pushing it" I tend to stress myself out...especially if I am driving somewhere.

5). Exercise
I DO NOT want to set an unrealistic goal here...and this is one that I struggle with the most because I have a tendency to phase in and out of exercise...right now, luckily I am in an "IN" phase. I will have to give this goal some more thought as it needs a lot more "meat" around it!

6). Better Eating Habits
Again, I don't want to set any unrealistic goals so I will give this one some more thought!

7). Be Prepared
Not for the end of the world or anything like that, but just on a daily basis...in my job, in life etc!

8). Learn Spanish
I have Rosetta Stone-its just a matter of using it!

9). Take more Pictures and Move them off of my camera!
I have a Kodak Gallery account I just need to start using it!

10). Scrapbook
I want to spend a few hours scrapbooking every month-I don't want to get in too much over my head so I think this is a good starting point!

11). Become Financially Savvy
I put money into my savings account all the time...however I am also taking money out of it all the time! I need to put together a financial plan. Now that I bought my own home, I find myself spending a lot of money to furnish and decorate!

12). Build a relationship with God
I have never been the person who goes to church on a regular basis so I am setting a goal to go at least once a month.

13). Walk my Dog
Anyone who knows me, knows that I LIVE for my dog. The house I bought, I bought for her-so that she would have a yard. While its great that she can go outside and run around-I know that she really enjoys going for walks...when its not too hot.

14). Apologize/Admit when I am wrong
I think there are a lot of people who have trouble admitting when they are wrong, and I am one of them.

15). Get plenty of sleep
I am one of those people who definitely needs their sleep! I just don't understand those people that can function on only a few hours of rest. Lately I have found myself staying up later and later...thank you HBO...I think a good starting goal for me would be to get at least 6 hours of sleep per night...and that does not include the hour I spend hitting the snooze button!

Well-I am halfway through my list, and this is definitely going to be a working document. I am going to give this some more thought over the next couple of months, and come September 11th, the day I turn 30, I should have my finalized list done with a plan in place...hopefully-if I can follow through!
