Reading that post about 5 Awesome Things to do in 2014, made me start thinking about my own list, and it's pretty unfocused. No wonder I so often feel like I'm either stuck in a rut, or spinning my wheels and going nowhere. I guess I could blame it on my ADD and not really getting the help I need for it. But I also know procrastination has a lot to do with it, too.
This is my list, as it stands, and I think it is too general to work with. Definitely needs some tweaking to do any good at all.
1. Organize my time better so I can accomplish the other 4 things!
2. Finish one of the books I've started writing, and get it published.
3. Get fit, and trim down my tummy
4. Break my Internet ADDiction (pun intended)
5. Get busy with my Art projects
I think actually, I need to make the first item the heading, and then add one more so I will have 5 projects to work on.
On second thought, organizing my time IS a very important goal, so I will leave the list as it is, and just tweak it.

S - specific. Target a specific area/thing.
M - measurable. Give yourself a time frame or a number of pages written or lost inches or finishing one art project.
A - attainable. Do you have the motivation do to the things you've set for yourself?
R - realistic. Once you've established the "measurable" and "specific" part, is that goal realistic? like, it's probably not realistic to say "I'm going to lose 50 lbs this month". It IS, however, realistic to say, "I'm going to lose 2 pounds this week."
T - time. Give yourself "due dates" so to speak. Pick a book you've started writing. Now make a deadline for finishing it - after you've established the "SMAR" part of the goal.
Remember: each goal should have all of the aspects I just mentioned. All of them should be "SMART".
