I usually have my goals (and dreams) in my head rather than written down. I think writing them with a group would keep me more accountable...especially since fiddling around doing all manner of other things is so much fun!<br /><br />CathCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322007107036171737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-88861932660098736432012-01-16T09:14:36.934+11:002012-01-16T09:14:36.934+11:00Annie, don't you worry about the kayak, it'...Annie, don't you worry about the kayak, it's a reward at the end of the day as long as the afternoon breeze doesn't kick in.<br />Isn't it amazing how much time and effort we can waste "fiddling"?Sue MacKaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-30866279881014675762012-01-16T08:46:31.945+11:002012-01-16T08:46:31.945+11:00Hi Sue,

Our local writers' group does something similar to yours - writes them down at the beginning of the year then checks them in December. Sadly I was unwell earlier this month and didn't make the goal setting meeting but have plans to do that myself as soon as I send off the current ms. Having those goals is so important to me otherwise I think I'd fiddle around far too much and neglect what I should be doing. I like goals I can check along the way - some smaller chunks of tasks so I can be sure I'm on the right track too.<br /><br />I hope you manage to get out on that kayak soon.Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.com
