Goals are great, and you've picked o...Dear Em,<br /><br />Goals are great, and you've picked outstanding goals that will uplift you! However, based on your recent posts, particularly this one, I wonder if some more fine-tuning of your goals would be helpful.<br /><br />Two thoughts along those lines: prioritize your goals, and state them with respect to your priorities. For example: blogging daily is a great goal, but unless it's your highest priority, perhaps that goal should instead be something like "blog most days, if time is available considering my higher priority goals." Then after #worldslongestmonday, you can more likely meet what I would suggest is a higher priority goal, getting 7-8 hours of sleep. Good sleep aids your health, which in turn facilitates achieving your other goals. Don't get me wrong; I deeply appreciate your blog. Even so, I'd much rather find that you had not provided a blog entry some day, in favor of specific work on higher priority goals. You might even just put in a quick blog entry to say which higher-priority goal prevented you from writing a full entry. ;-)<br /><br />On to feedback you actually asked for. I keep a "significant reading log" as a text file, in which I record books and potentially other large reading projects. I use a numbered list for each year. For each book, I record the full title, author, copyright date, the date (month and year) I finished reading it, a few sentences that describe my reaction to the book, and whether the book seems worthy of my reviewing it and/or recommending it to others. I find this information helpful, and sometimes a little surprising. Occasionally when I indicate that I should review a book that initially seemed so-so overall, I find that my opinion of the whole book greatly improves after going back over my notes. Must have something to do with not remembering the important bits without seeing them a second time. :-)Paulhttp://godtland.comnoreply@blogger.com
