Goals

Lately I have been reassesing things in my life, perhaps that is what holidays give you the time to do.

I’ve heard people are more successful when they write down their goals. So I think I am going to do just that:

My goals are:

  1. reduce my work stress
  2. be in a working environment where I can achieve my personal and professional goals, as well as thrive and enjoy
  3. meditate 3+ x a week, for at least 15 minutes each time
  4. do “my art” more. So this includes draw/paint/jewelry – at least once a week for a couple hours. Which David at WordCamp might have made me realize ;) (for those non-techy, click on this link then click on my photo to see his artist rendering of me :) )
  5. continue exercising 5 x weekly
  6. stop using all types of birth control before I am 30 (read below comments for further details)

    Your blog here made the entire project for me worthwhile. I am so glad it had a positive effect on you. Now get to work on those paintings!
    It was so nice to meet the two of you. You, your husband, and in fact all of the people at automatic , were the nicest people I have ever met in the Internet industry. Thanks again for hosting such an uplifting event. I had such a great time, and met so many fun people.

    I don’t know how old you are, but setting a dealine for family to me is kind of life predicting the weather. It’s gonna be how it is. I got your link through Lorelle’s post on the WP camp (linked to another dudes) . I keep a web journal and I appreciate what I’ve read on yours. Take care. (BTW I had my first kid at 35 and now I have 3 at 38) No worries. I REALLY like the meditate idea! -Damien

    Planning is quite different than setting deadlines, though your advise is great.

    Thanks for the comment Damien. I think perhaps it could be re-worded – which I have tried to do. I do understand that things happen for a reason, and we will have a family when we are ‘meant’ to.

    I think it is different for men and women. For women after a certain age the risk of birth defects increases quite a bit, also for less problems conceiving it is often recommended to plan trying to conceive when you are younger than older.
