Em's Goals

[darkemeralds]

That there is my new goal tracker. I'm trying out Joe's Goals. It's a way to get a bit more directional about what's important: you list things you'd like to be doing more of (or less of), assign them weights, and put a checkmark in a box for each time you do one of them.

I'm tracking writing, podfic-making, blog posting, riding my bike, keeping to my calorie limits, taking my vitamins, and a few other things.

No clue if this kind of tool will be a long-term benefit, but it's fun, easy, and free, and I think it has some real potential for helping me create a deliberate life.

"...create a deliberate life": great way of putting it. That's just what you do--and why I keep following your journal with such interest. It's also right on target for what I'm wanting to think about this morning~!

Hmm, I might check that one out. The check-box system appeals to me. I have friends who like Mindbloom, but I find that one a little too touchy-feely-gamey for my needs.

This looks interesting. A lot of times these tools don't quite work for me, but I'm going to check it out. I like the little smiley faces.
