Many people want to reach their goals but are not sure where to start. Once you write down what you want to accomplish you can evaluate the priority and relevancy of your goals. What you want to accomplish will seem much more real. When you decide what you want to achieve you can create an action plan. Your plan will keep you focused and motivated to accomplish any goal you want in life. Stay positive and focus on what you want to achieve. Hi Glenda,

Bravo for bringing it out for this exercise! One of my goals for 2008 is to travel a bit less in order to spend more time with my family. I traveled every week this year due to two long-term contracts that happened to overlap; while financially rewarding, my joke is that "the kids are looking askance at the strange woman who's sleeping with their dad every Saturday night" since I often get home around midnight on Friday and head back out the door on Sunday nights! No way to live in the long term, but we had a great Christmas and New Year's - didn't do a blessed thing -- and we all rested up and are renewed for '08. A second resolution is to build my business locally (Austin TX) in order to accomplish #1; but, I will still strive to stay home more even if it means no work that day/week if I can see more of the kids sports games or be here for more family dinners. Hugs and warmth to you and Darrell! Mary McD Hi Glenda,

I also keep track of my contributions to the blogosphere using a point system. I got this idea <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/07/04/how-to-keep-momentum-going-on-your-blog-with-a-points-system/" rel="nofollow">from ProBlogger</a>. I love the bubbles on Dave Seah's <a href="http://davidseah.com/blog/the-printable-ceo-series" rel="nofollow">Printable CEO forms</a>, so I made some bubbles for me to fill in for my points, too -- but Excel is also an easy option :) I love your resolution!
