This week I didn't meet four out of the five goals that I set for myself, but it certainly wasn't for lack of trying! I was inspired by my goals, and I definitely wanted to get them done. I didn't slack off or spend all week having sex and playing video games. I just failed to set realistic goals for myself. I was incredibly busy this week, and I still feel physically and emotionally drained. I socialized, volunteered, collaborated, and communicated like a boss. I restarted a very complex relationship. I did important things like taking care of myself, and I made some very big decisions. I decided I'm ready for a new apartment, and I decided to go to PAX East. To top it all off, I've been having a very harsh period!
I think the only real flaw in the goal setting I did last week is that I didn't truly consider the upcoming week. If I had thought about it, I would have realized it wouldn't be feasible for me to make clips or photo sets this week. I'm usually pretty good at looking at the events on my calendar before I set goals, but I think it's also important that I start thinking about my body. Will I be on my period and feel tired? Did I just drive 12 hours and now feel like driving as little as possible? It's hard to anticipate what sort of mental state I'll be in, however I think it's a good idea to start thinking about where I'll be at emotionally. Will I be looking for more or less socialization in the coming week?
Expectations for 02/14/10: Have four Clips4Sale up. Have VegPorn set submitted. Finish Cthulhu car charm. Read more about Betty. Put on a kick ass Imps show. Pack up bookshelves. Clean and use my new clippers!
