…what?…I have goals!

February 4, 2009 at 10:49 am (finances, goals, school)

I’ve been inspired to set some monthly goals for myself. (Thanks geekgirl!). I’m not sure how it’s all going to work out, but I have ideas. And I’m going to start small and not set too many because well, I really hate failure!

  1. Get my finances in order. I’ve actually been half-assing this since the beginning of the year. Last year was a relatively good year until the end when for some reason, I just let it all go to hell.
  2. Go to all of my classes this month. I have a bad habit when I’m doing well in a class, that I just miss a class or two. It shows in my Intermediate Accounting class and now I’m *stressing* majorly!
  3. Make decent progress on getting my second bedroom set-up as a home office. My “roomie” should be moving out shortly, and I should be able to get it 90% set up before the boyfriend actually comes for an extended visit in March/April.
  4. Set a deadline to have all my homework done for my internet classes and actually meet it!
  5. Pay off one of my credit cards. (I have only relatively small credit card debt, but I want to get rid of it!)

So that’s February in a nutshell, and even though I’ve set those goals 4 days into the month, I know I can do it!

*I had initially said that I was going to do nablopomo for February — but realized yesterday that February was already here and I was obviously off to a bad start! Maybe March, eh?*

    I love setting goals. You’ll notice that some of them are kind of silly (like cooking 2 new meals a month…), and osme of them actually get me somewhere. I think it’s easier to make changes if you keep them small.

    Hey UB. Belated happy new year and shame on me for taking so long to realise you are still updating! I was clearing out my google reader and clicked on your old link and got diverted here. I hear you on goals – I am obsessed with being more organised…and yet…it’s an enigma… I’ll try some smaller goals…
