Goal Update

[smallhobbit]

I'm at the ten-month point for my 2021/22 goals, so time for a further update.

Goal No 1 (Revised): To set aside time each week to keep up to date
I am now much better at that, maybe because I make sure I schedule an update into my diary each week - the day varies as it depends on other commitments.  So now I write FUDD, which stands for Follow Up Day, or FUD Day - hence FUDD.  It's the hour or two for sorting paperwork and catching up on emails (conveniently filed under '1 Follow Up').

Goal No 2: To listen to everything currently on my To Be Listened To list (by the end of April 22)
This should be completed as I have 9 hours left of the one remaining audiobook.  However, I currently have three audiobooks either exclusively or partially read by Richard Armitage downloaded, with a fourth on pre-order for two weeks time.  That, plus the six books in the '2022/23' folder mean I have plenty to read for the next year as well!

Goal No 3: To update and continue my blog posting
That's worked out well, although I shall be tweaking the posts for next year.  Specifically the monthly book/audiobook/course update which gets done right at the end of the month and takes quite a bit of time. 

I now need to start thinking about my goals for 2022/23, which I shall set at the end of next month.  I've been retired for nearly a year now and so it may be Goal 1, which related to my retirement should reflect something of my plans for the coming year.

I shall definitely be looking at revising my blog posting.  This year I have written a monthly Local post which has been fun and interesting to do.  If anyone has any suggestions as to what they'd like me to be writing about, then do leave your thoughts in the comments.

And if there are suggestions for possible goals then I'll be interested, although won't promise to adopt them.  Goals need to be realistic but still providing something of a challenge.

I need to have a FUDD day as well.

Having it written in my diary makes a great deal of difference - and much harder to ignore!

Sounds good. I like your goals about dedicating time to post. That's important. I should set aside time like that instead of just hoping there's time and forgetting. Lots of listening! That's great!

Thank you very much. I try to write things in my diary so it's much more likely to get done - because in reality if I don't write it down I just don't do it!

Wishing you well…impressed at your level of organisation and goal setting:-)

Thank you. I'm determined to keep more organised as I know it helps and for the moment my current system seems to be working. I find goals help me to avoid stagnating which would be easy to do - so much easier to keep out of the rut than have to climb out afterwards.
