Goals...

I am not a big fan of New Years as a milestone for anything other than taxes and getting a new calendar. In the past I have used it as an temporal goal marker mostly because that is how things are traditionally done and it seemed like a good idea to sync with everyone else.

However, for personal goals, I didn't find it so useful. A year is an awfully long time and December is already a busy enough month without having to try and cram in the year's worth of stuff I had meant to do before an arbitrary deadline.

Now I am trying something different and breaking a non-calendar year up into three parts, with checkpoints that have some relevance to me: Halloween, the day after Valentine's, and my birthday.

This is one of those checkpoints (being the largest after-holiday-chocolate-sale day of the year. :} )

My rough accomplishments since I listed them on New Years Eve (45 days, or 6 weeks 3 days ago)

( foodses made )

( things I hope to have done/started/achieved )
