that's what I like...small goals that can easily be reached! there is nothing like a sense of accomplishment in knowing you had a goal, a plan and you reached it.
in social work we use the SMART application a lot and I also like to add sometimes to my everyday life...
S - specific goal
M - measureable
A - attainable
R - realistic
T - timeline
so having said that here are my five goals I hope to accomplish by the end of 2006...
1. Lose 5 lbs....every pound counts...its hard with a hypothyroid problem but I am going to try and do more strength training instead of just running...all I do is run at the gym. I think I am going to add in more weights and hopefully that will help...
2. Find some albums to put my layouts into...I am so bad at this and I got this idea from Vikki's blog entry...I need to put my pages in albums! So if anyone out there has some good ideas of where I can find some cheap landscape 8 1/2 x 11 album ideas I am all ears!!!
3. Mad Money...I am starting a "mad money" fund to put away $20 a week for a getaway in the future. I am starting now because I dont think I would really miss $20 a week and come next spring I could theoretically have a lot of "mad money" for a fun getaway! So by the end of December I should have $220 away already of mad money!
4. 200 layouts! That has been my goal for the year 2006 - completing 200 layouts! As it stands right now today I have 43 more to go!! I think I can do it...! Go me...go me...lol
5. Small steps to a clean house....those who know me *know* I hate house cleaning but last weekend I actually did a lot of house cleaning and I realized I am less bitchy when the house is a little clean lol...so my goal is to spend a minimum of 15 minutes a day doing housecleaning. Now I know you clean freaks are thinking only 15 mins?? But trust me, this is a baby step for me lol and I am not including laundry time - that is one chore that I do without much thought lol....
So there you have it...I will update my list in January and hope I have some positive results!!!!
Now...have you blogged your five goals to acheive before the end of the year???!

Great goals Share! We use the SMART application at work too. I LOVE that "inspirational" poster! We actually have the real ones hanging at work and I have to laugh every time I pass them!
I love your idea of a "mad money account" . That sounds very realistic. 200 layouts? YOU ROCK GIRL!!!
