Game on!

I decided to take September off, and not worry about goals or doing anything.  This turned out to be a really good idea, because it gave me time to think about where I want to place my focus.  I decided against doing a set number of goals or following a specific goal oriented program. Even if I made one up for myself.  This month I realized that there are certain areas of my life where I want to make improvements. Maybe improvements is a bad word.  There are areas of my life where I feel like there are things I need to do or should do, but they keep getting passed over for other things or forgotten.  If I set things out here as goals to get done, hopefully it will help me out a bit.  Then I will have fewer things hanging over my head making me feel guilty. The goals are going to be my big picture to do list for the month.  I tend to keep running to do lists that never seem to get shorter.  The main idea here is to start shrinking those lists. 

October will be my test month, to see how it goes.  I'm going to try to keep my individual goals small and manageable.  And the categories I've come up with so far are just areas that I think I need to improve/get stuff done.  I'm not going to commit to only these categories, or always having goals in each category.  Flexibility was lacking in the 101 goals project, so being able to make changes after a month is important to me.  The goals need to be relevant if I'm going to be motivated to complete them. Here we go:
