According to my calendar, July 1 will bring us to the 182nd day of 2010, leaving us with 183 days to complete our goals for this year. Time to check in. Are you on track? What were your goals for 2010? Did you name your year: select one big theme that all the little goals culminate under?
Mine is The Year of Clarity. On Dec. 31, 2009, I posted my goals for 2010. Click here for a recap.
So far, I’ve accomplished a few of the goals on my list. I feel a bit overwhelmed with these lofty sights I’ve set. (Especially the early morning workouts!*smashes alarm clock*) However, I need to remember that life is unpredictable. Having goals is important, but having the flexibility to move with the ebb and flow of life is critical for my sanity and my momentum.
My husband started a business this year, which has shifted the schedules in our household. My day job has become more time- and mind-consuming, prompting me to focus my waning energy on one specific writing goal (i.e. novel completion vs. essay/article writing and submitting.) And, I’m struggling with my addiction to reading and research which takes up my scheduled writing time.
What unforeseen things happened that (temporarily) derailed your plan for 2010?
Are you allowing flexibility in your list? Maybe your goals changed due to some new information or insight about yourself and what you really want to accomplish. Share with us! And check back in for the Official 6-month Check-Up on July 1.
