A seasonal approach to goal-setting
I have thought for some time that months are too short. Weeks,
laughably so. Who can get anything done in a month, let alone a week?
So my new frame of reference is the season, a bit like the fashion
industry; it seems to strike a balance between stress and
accomplishment. Therefore, Em-official Spring begins today, March 1,
and lasts three calendar months. In that time, I have two main goals:
1) Submit thesis and 2) Defeat eczema. Sub-goals may be added
throughout the season.
10 March: Margot's wedding cake dry-run
18 March: Jamie's conference and UK Mothers' Day
15 April: US Tax Day
22 April: Earth Day
28 April: Stu's wedding
4 May: Katherine's hen
5 May: Bird's graduation
13 May: US Mothers' Day
26 May: Eurovision Song Contest
and a special look-ahead for Craig and Katherine's wedding on 2 June.
Now I am off to reorganise my sock drawer to prioritise springy socks,
while leaving the nice warm ones within easy reach for emergencies.
Wish me luck.
