I emailed my CV to myself... 8 months ago

...via web-based mail. So now I can access it wherever I have access to this web-mail service.

Took a while but I’m starting small.

Not to get distracted (too much.)

Today I will... 8 months ago

...get an early night. For me that’s before midnight.

Start small. Less likely to fail.

EDIT: Did it!

Failed my challenge... 8 months ago

...but that doesn’t mean that I should give up at the first hurdle. I kind of want to delete this goal because I’m starting to get too many failures from attempting challenges.

But perhaps all I really need is to move the goalposts.

No, not to cheat but to define goals more explicitly – perhaps following the SMART model. I’m writing out what I’ve discovered about this process to get it straight in my head:-


Creating S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely

Specific – A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six “W” questions:

*Who: Who is involved?
*What: What do I want to accomplish?
*Where: Identify a location.
*When: Establish a time frame.
*Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
*Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.

EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, “Get in shape.” But a specific goal would say, “Join a health club and workout 3 days a week.”

Measurable – Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as…...How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished?

Attainable – When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.
You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.

Realistic – To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress. A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love.
Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.

Timely – A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there’s no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? “Someday” won’t work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, “by May 1st”, then you’ve set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.
  • T can also stand for Tangible – A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing. When your goal is tangible you have a better chance of making it specific and measurable and thus attainable.

The diary is the master... 8 months ago

...I am the slave.

For a few minutes a day I am idealistic and forceful but as the day wears on I get worn down and despondent.

So I should set the bar low at the beginning and do whatever I write within reason.



Re-structuring my life 15 months ago

Hi! I have too much time on my hands,alot of talents and skills,(so my friends tell me!) Unfortunately I am not putting most of them to use(no excuse really-just a list of events in my life have contributed). Lack of confidence being one factor.I need to refocus myself, I have an online interior design qualification to work toward, I also have a weight loss goal to achieve, so regular gym visits are important. I believe I have the qualification and skill to start working as a personal fashion/interior stylist. Those are my aspirations!

All at once or 2 halves? 17 months ago

I think I ought to split this into 2. Say 15 mins in the morning and 15 at night.

This should be how it is – short punchy sentences and paragraphs for immediate tasks.

Then longer ones for reflection and deliberation.
