2012 Goals

<> 

Despite my near failing grade on last years goals, I am setting goals for 2012. I will approach the accomplishment of these goals very differently. I am going to hold monthly meeting with my list.  I am making sub-lists and breaking each goal into components and putting realistic deadlines in place. I am going to check in on myself (monthly meetings) and be less critical of my set backs. I'll pick myself up and move forward if I miss a deadline. I won't stop dead in my tracks and just, well, stop. I'll pickup where I left off and work toward attaining these goals.

 I am starting out with a grading system. This one will be a little more complex. I have a spreadsheet made out. (Yup. Geeky.) I won't bore you with the details. (You're welcome.)

And now for my
