Mini Goals
I think I mentioned in my last post that I have eight main goals, I’ll discuss those later, for right now I want to talk about the concept of my mini goals.
I have about 70 of these suckers. They have no specific end date of when they need done and some could be done tomorrow if I chose to. They range across all subjects and the point of them is to give me a break from my main goals if I chose.? They will hopefully spice it up enough that I can stick to my goals. I’ll give three examples:
- Finish a bottle of multivitamins before they expire. Seems easy right? I have till 2008 on this bottle but I’ve went through about three bottles that have expired that I can think of. My strategy for this is to keep them at work right next to my monitor in plain view so I take them.
- Send back food at a restaurant. I’ve had some really awful food before but I’m always too nice to send it back. The next time I get bad food? I intend to send it back and complain to the manager.
- Learn to play Go. My friend Carey has been trying to get me to play Go for the longest and I just haven’t made time to properly sit down with a board and a book to do this but its definitely something I want to learn.
In conclusion, using these to spice up my year goals will keep me interested in furthering myself and keep me on task.
Clarification Update: I don’t have to do all of these mini goals this year, they’re just side-tasks when I get bored.

Wow 70 mini-goals? And your Busy-ness is at “Bored stupid”? With that many goals I’m surprised you have time to breathe

I added a quick clarification update to the post. I was 100% busy this weekend, so busy I didn’t have time to update my busy-ness

In the claification, I believe you meant “they’re”, which is a contraction for “they are”. You used “there”, which implicates a place.

Well, I guess I just determined your (<– indicates possession) program strips image tags from comments

I updated my update to fix my crappy grammar, maybe that should be a goal? Small stuff like that still trips me up but I definitely have better grammar than the average bear.
I’m trying using this syntax for an image, lets see if it works: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#img

Awesome, the syntax is:
but without the extra spaces in front. I love phpMarkdown, I use it for my todo list program (which I’m thinking about making public).
