Goals are the measure of success. A feeling of success supports the ability to keep pushing forward. Pushing forward is one of the main moral values I have.
Steps:
1. Assess where I’m at in the various facets of what I’m committed to. Note accomplishments.
2. List what I’ve committed to for the rest of 2008.
3. State what’s important about those commitments and why they matter to me.
4. Note anything missing (such as, “take a vacation”)
5. Use the above to set goals.
Advice from friend and comrade Ted:
Tell someone your goals, that way they are /real/ and set deadlines to both complete or reassess. You should not have a long list of things your “gonna do.” Your to do list should be fairly sacred… it’s not a “should do list.” After you’re done with your personal goals find some other people and make organizational goals.
Have to get this song again…
Civ, “Set Your Goals”
take what time that you need to make
that choice might be all you ever get
we all gotta make our decisions or take
a back seat everytime
and when you cant figure out what you wanted
and youre sick of playing of everything is fine
you dont know what it is but you want it
youre on your way there once you set your goals
set your goals
dont get stuck on the money making
you miss to much and it doesnt last
you get more from what youve given
make more life than a living
when you cant figure out what you wanted
and you cant pass off alll the blame again cause
its all written in your hands
you cant live your life just covering up
cause you might not get a second chance
you gotta take aim, wont you take it
youre the only one to blame, so dont fake it
spend your time like youre drawing a line
between yourself and what you want
you gotta set your goals

HA! That song, that song….
So your entry here is practically a template for what I do (or try to do) with people, at work, every day. And we’re hiring a lot right now….

Jim you’re one of the only people I know who appreciate this great idea I had the other day - as you know, I have many, many great ideas
- which is to start a band that does punk rock covers of other songs, except the covers are also impressions of other bands. So, for instance, do a version of “true colors” played the way that the Lawrence Arms or The Falcon would play it, with Brendan Kelly vocals. Know what I mean?
See you this weekend (hurray!)
