Short List of Goals

I don't usually share my goals - that way, if I don't accomplish them, no one knows but me. Isn't that silly?!

Now, being the educational leader that I am, I try to set a good example. :-)

In order to find motivation for achieving goals, one needs to share them with someone - otherwise there is less accountability. And, if one really wants to achieve a goal, all sorts of motivation is needed.

So, here goes:

Short term (next few weeks): Get organized to include balance: mental, spiritual, physical, social (mostly to clean out my offices at home and at work, and my work out room at home so that I can have the tools I will need to achieve balance close at hand and in some sort of order).

Mid-range (next year or two): Get healthy and fit again; that is, establish a fitness regimen and get eating healthier.

Long range (before I'm 60): Have a book ready to go to a publisher. I've been putting it off long enough. :-)

Now, according to Covey and Greff, if I keep these goals where I can see them, and do just one thing to get me closer each day, I will be successful.

If nothing else, it will give me something to blog about! :-)
