Setting Goals - Part 5 Setting Personal/Household Goals
Many of us are so busy doing things for others that we forget about ourselves. This category of goals will deal with that issue. Think of the things that you want to accomplish around your house, in your personal live, and with your hobbies. Remember to have each of your goals meet the SMART criteria we discussed on 12/28/08. I will present some major categories and examples of goals that some may want to have under each category. Everyone’s personal goals will be so different, but this will give you some ideas to start with.
