Goals for 2010, Redux

Earlier, I talked about some goals I want to accomplish in 2010, mainly losing weight and having a regular devotional time. But I am realizing that I have other things that I dearly want to accomplish. All can be lumped together under the umbrella of "GETTING ORGANIZED."

Anyone who knows me fairly well knows I am an unorganized person. It's a personality trait. It's in my genes. I could detail the numerous ways in which I fail to organize and be neat and tidy, but it would mean an overly long blog entry. We'll skip that. But I do have multiple goals under this "organizing" one, and the sheer number of them give me reasons for pause. Here they are:

1. Organize our bedroom (our main living space here at Mom and Dad's) so that it isn't so messy ALL-THE-TIME.
2. Organize Eliza's room so things are more easily accessible and efficient, and her room is tidy.
3. Create an efficient cleaning schedule so that my tasks get done throughout the week.
4. Create an efficient daily schedule so my daily tasks get completed.
5. Start menu-planning and be more efficient at cooking/shopping/etc.

That's FIVE goals! Add that to the two I've already set for myself for the year, and I'm trying to accomplish seven goals?? I'm not sure that's going to work! I've heard that you should really only set two-four (and four is pushing it) long-term goals. All of these are long-term for the likes of me for several reason, all of which I'll likely blog about in the next few days because this has really been on my mind.

I know the key is to start slow. And to start somewhere! But the question is where and how. Definitely not "when", I know that one: ASAP. This requires more thought. And more blogging. Stay tuned...
