I will stick it, so it appears at the top of the thread. Done. I already did an edit (of-off). I have never worked on a google doc, but it appears to "save" instantly. Very cool.

Now I have to figure out some goals and add them.

I really believe in goal setting and have lectured and written on it. Here's a long and quite interesting thread from hubski (Feb. 2013) on our ambivalence towards goalsetting.

I'm trying to figure out where my goals went. Here's some possibilities:

1. My goals are so integrated into everyday life that I can't stop and unpack them.

2. I've fallen into a comfortable, but kiss-of-death complacency that I no longer want goals.

3. I've been so preoccupied with propping up the reality and maintaining the well-being of certain family members, that personal, professional, or creative goals have fallen to the wayside.

4. All of the above? (still musing)

Edit

Still thinking about these things. After reading

    4. Keep daily habits. Write every day. Read every day. Do some sort of exercise
on blackbootz post, it reminded me of a time in my life when I had a list of goals like those and would check them off every day. It was an interesting time.
