Goals VS. Accomplishments

Hi everyone - I've been thinking a lot about Goals lately. One of the Yahoo lists I've been on for ten years occasionally encourages the members to paste their goals for that day. Whenever I participate, it really helps me stay on task and I participate fully.

However, the other night as I was trying to fall asleep (which is when I typically go over my day and plans for the next day), I was upset with and berating myself for all the "goals" I didn't accomplish that day from my list. Suddenly I started wondering what I HAD spent all my time doing! So, I started listing to myself what I had accomplished that day. It felt SO good! So now, I think I may list my goals for the day in the AM and then list my top ten Accomplishments at night. . . .

So, in that spirit, today I have: Attended and participated in a great worship service, Listed all of my weekend book purchases on Amazon, Cropped and corrected my family and football photos from the weekend, participated in our 'family meeting', read the Sunday paper and cut out all the weekly coupons, updated all my MLB and NBA inventory on eBay, invoiced all weekend sales on eBay and Amazon, photoed and listed my newest consignment item - monkeys!, and now I'm catching up on TV with hubby from the TIVO and planning tomorrow!

Happy Sunday night!

That's a great idea Kathy -- maybe I should do that. Even tho I didn't ebay a thing today, I did a whole lot of other things. Have to keep reminding myself of that! Thanks for the pep talk!
