penmillionLast year I really started doing major goal work for the first time. I went a little overboard and had 11 goals, some of which required several hours a week of work. It was like having a second job. All in all, I got 8 done though I did get a little stressed out near the end of the year.
Actually, I was more stressed in the third quarter. Near the end of the year I knew which ones I was going
to make and which ones were a loss and was able to relax a little.
This time, I limited myself to no more than 7 goals that have a one-hour a week time requirement, though I have a pile of "soft" goals that I'm also working on, just not so worried about tracking the time.
