2013 taught me that I need tangible, trackable goals to keep myself motivated. I need lists, spreadsheets and posts laying out all the things I've done and what I plan to do.
In 2014, I want to challenge myself. I have monthly goals and yearly goals, and plan to update my progress every Monday.
Monthly Goals:
Read four books
Listen to two new CDs (preferable artists new to me)
Attend one event
Read one work of Shakespeare
Yearly Goals:
Read the Bible
Learn a language
Buy a house
Get a new job
