Resolutions

Our Principal asked the staff if anyone had any resolutions to raise their hands...I was the only one. No one seems to like resolutions...I LOVE THEM. I have this idea that if you don't have a target you really don't hit anything... you don't miss either. If I don't write down goals in every area of my life(physical, spiritual, mental and social) I won't have anything to work towards. They help me make decisions about choices. They limit my excuses and motivate me off the couch. So I write at least 3-5 goals in every area making sure they are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. Fresh starts, new beginning, attainable goals...this is the best thing about the New Year. I told them to Scott which is a first for me. I have never had an accountability partner.
You may ask how well do I do with my resolutions?
80% of my goals I usually reach. A solid B- is teacher terms. This year I am hoping for an A.

Way to go, Heidi!! You get an A from me for even being motivated to develop goals. In various areas of life? "Awesome!"

Re: "The Book" - I have a goal to finish the interviewing by the end of January --- since I have several months tied up after that. Tomorrow the topic is 1986 - quite a heavy in my mind. We'll see how it goes. :-)
