My new favorite goal-setting tool is Day Zero, an awesome website that I found through Bridget's blog. Day Zero has a list called 101 Things in 1001 Days that allows you to set up a list of goals and monitor your progress. I like that the time line is long enough to give you time to accomplish your goals but short enough that you don't push them off forever.
I started my Day Zero list on March 20th, and I have accomplished 5 of my 68 items (I still need to come up with some more). Most of my goals are related to personal finance, travel, my career, and personal improvement. I also have a few goals related to maintaining connections with friends and family, such as my goals to send birthday and Christmas cards.
This weekend I completed my goal to compete in a triathlon. Three years ago I thought that completing a triathlon was something that I would never be able to accomplish. At that point I didn't even think that I could finish a 5K run! It was so rewarding to check that goal off my list-and to know that it won't be my last triathlon. (Side note: there was an 87-year-old woman competing in the triathlon this weekend. How's that for inspiring?!)
What are your goals? Do you have any recommendations for goals (especially PF goals) that I should add to my list?
