My 2010 goals

So, I'm working on coming up with some concrete goals for this year, because I'm super into goal setting. I like goals that are actually measurable, not just "work out more" vagueness.

I don't have a personal blog, just my book blog (::cough::becomeafollowerifyou'renot::cough::) so I figure I will share these here.

So far I have:

~ Finish writing/revising my novel. Sumbit to agents by the end of the year.

~ Work my way up to running 3 miles straight (no walking) and keep it up throughout the year.

~ Save enough money between now and June so that I DON'T have to work summer school.

I kinda want one or two more, though, but I'm at a loss...

Re: My 2010 goals

  • I think the novel goal is so exciting!

    GL on the running 3 miles goal. 

     Even if you saved enough money by June, why wouldn't you still work summer school?

  • I wouldn't work it because I hate it with every fiber of my being.

    It sucks because it really is easy money, and it's only a half day, and blah blah blah, but i hate it so much. Every year I say I will never do it again, but this past year ONE KID ASSAULTED ANOTHER KID IN MY CLASS and the cops came and questioned all of us. Man, I hate it so bad. Every day going there is like torture.

    I swore I wasn't going to do it this year, although I probably still will. Tongue Tied But I'd like the option not to, if I can.

  • I am so greedy that I'd still work regardless for the extra cash.  lol.  But that assault was some dramz for real and I don't blame you for wanting to not do it.

  • if you don't have to work summer school, don't!  I can only imagine what type of students you have to deal with.  :/

  • I think the goals you've set are awesome Jess. That mess at school would make me HATE going there too. I have an ING account set up online that deducts money right out of my checking so I don't even see it. Saving money is easier for me that way.

    My goal is the standard "lose baby weight by summer". So boring!

  • Those are all great goals! No reason to add more, at least for me. The more ambitious I am, the more likely I am to be disappointed in myself by the end of the year.

  • I like Weemz addition. Those sound fab my dear! Yes
  • I love those goals. I almost always choose the ambivalent way out and say I lose more weight or make more phone calls vs. texts. 

    I definitely think you should submit your novel once you're done working on it!

  • I like your goals! I think it's definitely achievable but challenging at the same time. I am very excited about your book.
  • Great goals! Good luck!

    I'm going to share your running goal. Smile
