I have been seeing a lot of blogs that regularly post goals. And while I want to love goals, I always go about them the wrong way. I love writing lists, but my lists go on and on and on, until they are impossible to even look at without wanting to take a nap and forget about everything.
Too much on the goal list = stress. Even if the list is written in a pretty planner or posted on my blog.
Because this is the kind of summer that never ends (aka, I’m not going back to school in the fall), I can’t really just be lazy and wait out the summer. I have to work (soon, fingers crossed), and do productive things. I love summer. Everything about it. There are lots of things I want to accomplish, but I don’t want to stress myself out.
Sooo, I was thinking I’d focus on one thing each week. It doesn’t mean that I have to stop focusing on it after the week is over, but I think it will allow me to really devote my time to something I’m passionate about without getting all scattered about everything else I want to do.
This week, I have some quality time dates set up with good friends. This weekend, I am going to Oregon, my second favorite state :) And then next week, I will be back with goal numero uno!

mmmm I know the feeling! I posted my goals not too long ago, and I had to cut them back because my list was getting a bit long! I graduated from college last summer. It is a lot different when you don’t have to go back to school in the fall, less excuse to be lazy and chill all the time. hehe But enjoy this summer! You get (oh yay) to work the rest of your life. Spending time with friends is a great goal to have. It is so easy to let time and space put distance in great friendships. Good luck!
