Turn my goals into S.M.A.R.T. goals

Since starting this account, I’ve learned a few things about goals. I looked at my list today (after a couple years of being dormant) and realized that, well, my goals in this list kinda suck.

Planning on revising these soon.

I’m going through my goals and I’m getting rid of a lot of them. I turned 27 about a month ago, and I realized that I’m going to be 30 in three years (hooray for math). I always thought that I should have my life together by the time I’m 30. My life is pretty good and I feel very blessed. I’m doing very well in most areas of my life, but there are some things I’m just not happy about. For all practical purposes, this life is all we have, and I want to make the most of it. So I’m going to set some goals that aren’t as abstract and improve my life. Some of the goals that I’m going to keep aren’t really S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely), but they mean enough to me that they will remain. Even a few whimsical ones will probably still hang around (hey, life should be fun, too), but for the most part, I’m going to get serious about this. It’s a shame to have a site as good and as helpful as 43Things is and not let it help improve yourself and help you become who you want to be.
