Slowly, your look back at your achievements in 2004 is great and refining your goals for 2005 is a terrific step. Put "Wrote Out Goals for 2005" on the top of your accomplishments list for this year! You mentioned swinging for the fences with some more difficult goals, and that is admirable, but you do need to take some easier pitches to get you on base. What I've done is develop a mix of easily achievable goals and harder to achieve goals, so I don't feel frustrated and as if I haven't accomplished anything. So, for me, making one-on-one time with my kids is doable (and important) goal, but not as hard as developing clients for my new business, or exploring my psyche in therapy.

Just two cents from the Queen of List Making,
