Update: Strategic Living

Nothing's been formalized, but in my head I have pretty much divided my life up into the following responsibility quadrant: home, work, ROL, and me. They're all pretty self-explanatory, right? "Me" sounds a bit egotistical, I admit, but honestly, if I don't take time for introspection and spiritual growth, not much else seems to matter.

I'm starting small.

Let me tell you how foreign the ideas of goalsetting and listmaking are to me. For about 10 years, I was the type of person who remembered almost everything. I never missed appointments, classes, or work because I forgot (overslept? yes). I never forgot homework due dates or test days. And I never wrote a schedule down, used a planner, or set a goal.

But I'm changing. And as evidence of the change, I'll let you in on one of my small personal goals. Let's call it the first:

1.) Develop dexterity with iCal

There you go, it's out there. I've articulated it. Now you all need to hold me accountable.

Tell me one of yours and I'll do the same for you.
