How I did it: I used the book _Your Best Year Yet_ by Jinny Ditzler to help me set 10 goals for 2008. Then, on my birthday in May, I rewrote them.  

I'm going to try to write more realistic goals for 2009. For example, I'm using terms like "one or more" and "at least" to set a minimal level of completion but encourage more.

Lessons & tips: I don't recommend re-writing goals in the middle of the year. In the end, I completed two goals that were on both lists. Not a hugely great showing for ten goals, but better than I might have done had I not set goals.

Resources: The best resources are the entries by others doing this goal -- very inspirational and motivating!
