Setting Goals

My goal for 2012 is to start writing a book. The idea is still forming but I believe there is something there. The problem is the time need to write. I spend over 10 hours of driving to and from work, hanging out with my family (which I will not give up) and sleeping.

The idea of setting goals is really difficult when it is difficult to be "SMART" about it. Somewhere deep in my mind is the notion of SMART goals. I know it is an acronym for Something, Measured, Something, Something, Timely. I have so much going on that SMART may not make sense.

I did set up with a friend of mine to keep me and her on track. She wants to write a book also. She has written out an outline or at least ideas and has sent it to me. I, on the other hand, have done nothing. Not even comment on her outline.

As I write this, I wonder, "Why not start now?" ....... Move to next thought.

I am hoping by starting with the blog again that it will encourage me. Who know? Make a decision Doug. Do it or Not. It is entirely up to you.
