Here are the 4 Simple Goals I want to accomplish by the end of the year. This comes to you by way of the A Beautiful Mess blog and there are lots of participants. The idea here is to pick goals that are not results oriented and that are simple and will bring you more joy by doing them. A good way to check in with your goals is to ask yourself how they make you feel. Do you have that slightly uncomfortable but excited feeling or does it seem simple enough that you know you can succeed?
1. Update my software skill set (increase my Photoshop knowledge and start to learn Illustrator).
2. Start sewing and knitting again. I haven’t really done either over the past few months.
3. Organize and start a new collaborative project with artist and designer friends.
4. Finish organizing and setting up a new office space (to share with hubby) and storage space.
Bonus: Continue to increase my physical strength. I recently started lifting weights again and it feels great so I want to continue this.
I’ve chosen goals that are realistic, actionable, that I can be held accountable and that are simple and fun. I’ve also tryied to balance these 4 simple goals by choosing goals that meet a variety of my interests including, creative, intellectual, physical, home/relationship etc.
