2011 Goals

I am a big fan of goal-setting, so I thought I would share my goals for this year. Last year I made four goals (which were all 90-100% completed), but this year I thought I would go all out and make lots of goals. The important thing for me is that they are mostly objective and measurable, and I can log progress towards them.

Here are some of my goals. We'll see how it turns out!

Spiritual

• Finish my 2010 plan to read through the Bible (which was close to being finished)
• Read through the Bible again!

Physical

• Exercise 3x/week and log it
• Run two half marathons and two 5Ks

Mental

• Read 12 books and log them
• Learn 12 skills and log them

Professional

• Explore online writing options (I have a few going already...but there are more out there!)
• Explore other professional opportunities

Financial

• Continue updating Quicken, evaluating budget and setting goals

• Take Dynamic Marriage course at our church
