The main goal for me is to continue getting closer to my kids and being more involved with them and their lives.
Also, I am using this time to rebuild a R with my father.
Another goal for me is to get my finances straight.
And a pretty selfish goal of mine is to play more golf with S10.
I have always had low self esteem for no reason.
Alright, so you have some categories of goals. But these arent really goals, per se. Take the first one: to continue getting closer to my kids. Let's say you take your kids to a baseball game. Great, you got closer. You satisfied your goal, right? Maybe no, Im not really sure. Youve outlined what you want, now your goals should be focused on HOW to get there. What kind of actions are you planning to take to reach these milestones?
For example - "I want to be closer to my kids" - I will spend an hour a day working with them on homework - I will take them on one "special" outing a month - I will give them a hug every morning and night - I will take them to school every morning - I will eat one home cooked family dinner with them a week
I dont know. just ideas. You figure out what works for you.
But I have found that by writing them out and referring to them, you have that inherent guide to your actions. For example, one of my goals is to empty my dryer within the day of doing the washing. I know every time I pass by that full dryer, I am letting myself down. If you set specific goals, its very EASY to judge whether you are meeting them or not.
