lol In the “good old days” perhaps. Not sure what happened to that gal this past year or two. Hoping to get back there at some point.

I wish I had your energy. You impress me with how much you can tackle in one week!

Now I’m laughing at my own naivety in saying 10 goals. Just remembered the reason I originally upgraded to Todoist’s premium version was because I exceeded the 80 project limit. LOL And that’s just project groups. I further group with tasks & sub-tasks. Wonky brain indeed.

*looks at white boards and hangs head in shame*

They’re a bit unruly again. lol

See, I’m happier with 10+ goals. 😉 But I’m definitely not the norm. When I focus in too narrowly, it’s easier for me to get off-track or get bored with something — which happens much too easily. I blame it on the ADHD genes in the family. Sis and I have some borderline traits, and this is one. Learning how to juggle things is what keeps me interested in the work. Just something we’ve learned to use for our benefit rather than letting it hold us back over the years. But it’s definitely not how most folks are wired to operate. So I don’t recommend it unless everything else fails you. This is the same reason I break down those goals into the ittiest bittiest steps possible. So I can literally hope from one 5-minute task to another. Sometimes it’s those tiny accomplishments that keep me going when I’d otherwise say “screw it” and call it a day.

And you’re quite welcome.

I like the idea of limiting goals to no more than five. Shooting at too many targets means you’re using up a ton of ammo without actually closing in on anything. Five is manageable. Five can be split up into a one-a-day focus.

Fantastic stuff. And thank you again for all the posts and the love when I needed it most. 🙂

Can’t wait to hear how it works for you. When I’m at the top of my game, I’m a downright planning junkie. 5 yr plan, yearly goals, quarterly breakdowns, monthly lists, more detailed weekly lists, daily lists, project-specific lists, schedules… keeps me organized, & somehow I find that fun.
