What are your goals if you're willing to share?

[taurus77]

I'm glad this question was asked; I think we all need to set goals and I haven't done that in a long time.
I'm not sure what goals I really have or how important they are but here goes:

-be a better leader at work, not just a "boss"
-travel
-buy a house
-visit family more often
-take more "me" time & relax

don't know how realistic a goal this is, since I'm starting from scratch b/c of divorce, but
-have a kid (one day?! if my eggs don't dry up and blow away first)

Ahh, so much I want to do and so little patience and money to do it all... here goes mine:

Short term (defining ST as within the next few months):
-get a PT job to save up money for living and the next thing on list:
-locate and buy a small cheap old school bus (preferably gas & automatic, not diesel & clutch)
-keep packing little things away for move in August.
-FINISH MY &%#$#@ NOVEL!!!
-and continue working on the SECOND novel.


Long term (after next three months):
- hopefully attend writing intensive in Minnesota
-fix up old bus: i.e. gut it and put some sort of storage in there... affix cargo net partway back so kitties will be safe during trip
-End of August: move to Oregon, preferably Portland. Visiting family and friends along the way. Great aunt and great uncle have been bugging me for nearly three years to come visit them in their summer abode in Wisconsin.
-Get settled in Portland.
-Find writing groups and maybe a little romance in new home.
eventually take bus dwon to Bay Area and load up my books and other stuff from parent's house and haul back to new home.
send out query letters to agents for kids book (about a cat) and the novel I'm nearing completion on...

Is that enough? I probably have a few more roaming around somewhere...

I like to keep my short-term and long-term goals related. It helps me be focused on what's important. Here are a few of mine.

Short term: Keep on top of my laundry by doing at least two loads per week. Long term: Always have my house company-ready. Really it's ridiculous that I haven't mastered that already ...

Short term: Eat out less than once per week and walk every evening. Long term: Lose 40 pounds and KEEP IT OFF.
