Plans and Goals

Sometimes it helps to talk out the things you want to do and the projects you want to work on, and get cheers for stuff you've finished.

What are some of your upcoming plans and goals?
Are any of them things you'll need help with, and if so, what kind of help?
What are some plans/goals that you have recently completed?

That's a big question for me, because my goal is to have a home, which is also a spiritual/healing center, including a Peace Chamber. I'm just not sure what all I need to do to accomplish this goal.

That sounds very enriching.

With big goals, the best approach is usually to break them down into smaller goals. Frex, do you want to stay in the same area or move elsewhere? If you want to move, an interim goal could be to investigate other places. Will your current income support buying that kind of house? If not, interim goals might include getting more training and a higher-paying job. Do you want a single-family home or would you consider joining an intentional community that already has a Peace Chamber or something like it? There are many communities to visit.

Upcoming goals include trying to perform my music more frequently and in a wider variety of places, learning to budget/manage my time better, and hopefully getting a little more serious about my spiritual work. :)

If it would help I could give you a critique once you finish.

*grin* This is a lovely idea...

But at the moment, I need to get AWAY from the time-sucking computer and get to work.

After I accomplish some stuff, I'll come back and comment again.

The big goal is to get an income of my own again!

Little plans? Most of them involve knitting holiday gifts, working through my reading list, and trying to find a way to get to the Queen's Croquet in Dayton over Labor Day.

That first one is a very widespread goal, these days. Right now our main household income is what I earn in the Poetry Fishbowls.

I remember you mentioning the Queen's Croquet -- good luck with that!

Goal, live long enough to see my son finish college

Plans, never plan more than a few hours ahead and never admit to anyone I intend to do something until I've done it or nearly finished.

Recently started a Zazzle shop, if/as I get healthier maybe I'll be able to produce enough artwork and do enough promotion to actually sell stuff.

>>Goal, live long enough to see my son finish college<<

So mote it be.

>>Plans, never plan more than a few hours ahead and never admit to anyone I intend to do something until I've done it or nearly finished.<<

There are circumstances where that can be very prudent.

Haha...it seems as if every time I get a blog idea and then don't blog about it, someone else comes along and writes about it. Hmm...maybe I'm sending off uncompleted spiritual energy into the ether of the universe.

So, my goals are to get a host and get a website up by the end of the year.

2. plot out all three novels of the trilogy I want to write.

3. get a better balance between writing, blogging, and critiquing. ( I've been focusing on one at the expense of the others and then switching -- not a very satisfactory way of doing things )

4. Submit a story to WotF 4th quarter and if I do not win submit another story in the 1st quarter

5. Write. Write. Write.

Go for it!

That sounds exciting.

"Plans & Goals" is intended as a regular feature. You're welcome to copy it. I wanted something more upbeat in the way of community support, to balance "Hard Things."
