Revisiting Goals

Published August 17, 2010 | By clandestinechic

As my birthday nears, I keep reflecting on my previous post about the tasks/goals I set for myself at age 26. If I wanted to be pessimistic, I’d say that I did pretty well in failing to achieve even half of these goals, but I’m not going to go that route. Instead, I’ll think of what goals I did achieve and what I’d like to work on more. In the meantime, I made a list of more “realistic” goals that I think can be achieved over the course of a year:

1. Take a long vacation by myself overseas.

2. Write at least 1,500 words per week.

3. Become a better photographer.

4. Run a half marathon.

5. Master the art of wardrobe minimalism

6. Start taking dance lessons.

7. Scale back drastically on the meat eating.

8. Become a better blogger.

9. Complete rock my first year of graduate school.

10. Find at least one thing to smile about each day.

Happy birthday, in advance! Good luck on your goals. The word one is a great goal; that's attainable and you have a set amount, so it's not too vague or anything. I'm hoping to get to travel some in the next year as well!

Thanks so much Michelle! I totally agree that one is a great goal, and it's not too overwhelming while being attainable and making you happy. I think so many times, it's easy to get caught up in trying to achieve as much as possible, but taking the time to achieve your goals can be all the more worthwhile. I hope you get the chance to travel next year!

I like your list. I have a lot of the same goals (except the meat thing. Animals are too yummy to give up!).

Hally early birthday! I usually do an aims list around new years, but my birthday is a little over 2 weeks later (LOL). I need to check up and see how I'm doing. Thanks for the reminder.
