Comments on: An Easy System for Organizing Goals http://mightygirl.com/2012/09/12/three-categories-of-goals-that-work-for-me/ Famous Among Dozens Thu, 23 May 2013 01:33:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Loup http://mightygirl.com/2012/09/12/three-categories-of-goals-that-work-for-me/#comment-1254333 Loup Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:02:43 +0000 http://mightygirl.com/?p=20490#comment-1254333 Thank you. It was just the sort of headtilting reordering I needed, just with that one bit about NY. I'm an Aussie so it isn't SAD, but I find that time of year challenging and goals for the year never work and so on ad infinitum. Except that I can just pick another day, and given my birthday is mid-year, it works perfectly. I've spent my whole life not thinking of my birthday as important to me (and hating to celebrate it) but it is actually something I need to at least respect and recognise as important. Between this, the packing tips and the wardrobe stuff, you've changed my life in so many ways. Thank you. It was just the sort of headtilting reordering I needed, just with that one bit about NY.

I'm 27 & just starting to explore my values & the Actions I might take to move towards them. It feels vital & wonderful bit scary and slightly too big-picture, too. I journal daily about my thoughts & emptional state in moving in directions that matter to me. I think taking a next step to conceptualize concrete goals in a yearly format centered around my birthday & the new year (which I like to picture as starting in September with the new school year bc I'm a teacher & New Years is too lose to my bday in February) would be really great and give me milestones to look forward to. What exactly are mighty summit/camp mighty & how do they work? Can anyone attend? Thanks for sharing!! Great post!

Maggie, can I invite you out to some Blue Bottle or Philz? ;) I've been going through my "Eff I'm turning 30" (happened a couple of weeks ago) and all I can think about are lists. I am defintely going to sit down tonight and use your wonderful ideas. Thank you!!! LOVE THIS!

I try not to think too hard about it while doing it, but I do aim for a bit of balance, i.e.-- have some goals related to fitness, some to finances, some to fun, some spiritually or relationship oriented. The 100 list can take a few days. Once it's done, I let it rest for a few days or so. When I finally revisit it, I highlight the items that are most important, make me laugh, and generally get me excited and motivated. I choose 6-10 to focus on and then get going. I keep my 100 lists for each year to see what goals peel away and which ones remain. It's been a good system! I write down 100 goals for each coming year.

I do have to write down (on post-its, or my iPhone's "notes") all the little things. Tactical details, as I think of them. I'm not sure why I'm thinking of life goals militarily... maybe because I want to conquer them?
