101 Goals . . .

So I am redoing my list, making it really focused on me, what I value, what I care about.  The old list was supposed to be a joint project.  Then we broke up.  {He is trying to take care of the issues which drove us apart and I am letting him.  I am also working on my issues. So maybe it will work out, maybe it won't.} Kathryn read through most of what I have so far on the list yesterday.  She is excited.  Here is what I have so far for a draft list & the rules.  I am planning on starting October 1.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific {ie. no ambiguity in the wording} with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and require stretching {i.e. represent some amount of work on my part}.
