15 Goals for this Week

I have not posted goals in a long time. The primary reason is because I beat myself up when I don’t accomplished half of the goals. So I opted out but still beat myself up for not planning. Does that make sense? Well after rereading Crystal Paine’s book I realized that maybe…just maybe I am planning to do too much in one week. My type is was showing big time. This week I am going with basic goals and limiting myself to three goals per category. The primary goal this week is to access how realistic is my goal planning process.

Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
 I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry "Caesar!" 
Speak, Caesar is turn'd to hear.

 Caesar: What man is that?
