As we progress through 2009, we are now 1/6 of the way through the year. There is no doubt that a substantial portion of the year is now behind us, but the bulk of it is still ahead. This means that, despite my failed attempts at my goals to date, I still have an opportunity for success.
The truth is, I had a new site I wanted to launch at least a couple of months ago; the first of the year was supposed to be the launching point, but that just failed to come to fruition. I was busy at work, and just couldn't seem to get focused. Now that I am facing at least a couple of weeks at home until my next major trip, I am hoping this will be some time to not only get caught up at work, but to also spend some time getting caught up on the things that I wanted to do.
2009 was supposed to be the year that I would begin to get back on track, get healthy, and work on the many hobbies I have that frequently get abandoned because I just can't seem to stay focused on them. I believe I still have an opportunity to achieve the goals that I set out for myself at the beginning of the year, but I do have to make up time. I have two months behind me, and very little accomplished. This means I need to take a step back to January 1, take stock of what I wanted to get done, and assess what I need to do to achieve what I want.
In some ways, I probably should not be approaching life as if there are specific metrics set out for accomplishments; but if you don't apply specific measures to what you want to do, then how do you know what you have accomplished. Deep down, I think we all really do this, applying specific targets to goals, and weighting those goals. We just do it without even realizing it.
I know the things I want to accomplish, I just need to set my mind to the specific tasks at hand, and work towards those goals.
