Streaming lining my goals

I just realised I have too many goals that pull me in different directions. They are all conflicting. And call me a lazy ass but I have decided to scrap them.

I read and bought so many self-help books that give me outlines: Personal, Educational, Spiritual, Wealth, Health, Relationships, Career,Work etc. They advised to outline what I want to achieve in each step then break it down.  But today I woke up and decided after a decade and a few years I'm scrapping it. Yes all my goals.


I'm just going to concentrate on one goal. Every time I dip into one of these books the same goals come out but on a deeper level they conflict with each other so I don’t achieved anything because I can’t focus (well that’s what I think). But with just one goal, I maybe and just maybe I can fully commit. I can focus and put all my energy to it without any other conflict or feeling guilty. I can develop that one track mind.

So I've chosen one and that is to start my own business or at least try.   So I'm looking to be a fat, tone-deaf, unpublished business woman rather than a 'goal seeking' unemployed statistic.

As soon as I've attained my goal or something similar I shall move onto the next one. It's going to be one goal at a time.

Starting my goal of bookkeeping.

I finally got out my bookkeeping book. I was about to procastinate but thought 'Ah, can't do that you have committed to achieving it as a goal.' Nothing interesting I just looked at it. It was twenty-five odd chapters. Then I thought maybe I could do two mock exams and then the real one. But then it occured to me wouldn't it make more sense if I got the course outline and syllabuses for these exams. Because after all even though I'm looking at the book it may be too much.



So let's talk goal setting language.
re-focused objective: to pass the Level I The Certificate in Basic Bookkeeping.
Method: Homestudy

Milestones one: Completing topics in the book corresponding to the syllabus the entire book.
Milestone two: To complete a mock exam and see how I do
Milestone three: Complete an online mock exam
Milestone four: Do a quick revision
Milestone five: Do the exams and post my results on my blog.

Limiting factors
Well the saying 'Know thy self' applies. I'm disorganised, I procastinate and I get distracted. On top of all that I never have any time and I'm always tired.

So I think to achieve I need to break down into tasks which I hope I follow. Sorry if I state the obvious but it's my task list.

Tasks for milestone one
  • Print out syllabus.
  • Set up realistic study timetable
  • Start studying
Other stuff.
Well you know I'm blogging my food diary as well. That might be the reason I'm tired. Too fat. It's weighing down my bones and I even take the lift (elevator) instead of walking up the stairs. I'm not on a diet. I've been on too many and I know what works but it's a motivation factor. I thought maybe the food dairy would be a good idea.It's called Snuggie's fooddairy at http://fatlogger.blogspot.com.


Socks
I have a few worn out pairs of socks. What do I do with them? I feel guilty throwing them out. Maybe I should just darn them. How do I do that? The are mostly odd pairs. Does anyone have the problem of always ending up with odd pairs?
