As I shared before, I’m using a different goal setting method this year for my annual goals.  There are a bunch of goals that I think would be just kind of boring to share, especially since I’m not sharing them in the context of the categories that I created them in.  I’ve already shared some of the bigger goals that I’ve got going on for the year, but there are a couple that didn’t get mentioned, that I thought I should throw in.  I’ve been trying to come up with a good way to categorize them for you, but that would just devolve into a whole bunch of blog posts that are all really short.  So instead I thought I’d just list them all in one final post on my goals.

Travel

As I mentioned in my last post, my husband and I have a travel blog that we update when we go traveling.  And, well, in about a week, we’re going on another three week vacation.  It’s our second time going to Japan and we both can’t wait for the break.  I didn’t include travel as its own goal category just because the trip is happening so early in the year.  Most of the work towards it actually happened in 2009.

Family

With recent events being what they are, my family needs extra time and energy right now.  A substantial portion of my year is going to be dealing with the aftermath of my step-father’s unexpected passing.  It’s going to be a roller-coaster of emotions and I’m trying to think of ways to handle the ups and downs.

Finance

My husband and I go through regular re-evaluations of our financial position and goals.  He doesn’t do the same year end thing that I do though, and we usually end up re-evaluating our financial position in spring, around tax-season.  I think our focus during the coming year might shift slightly away from RRSPs and towards paying down the mortgage on our condo, but it’ll depend on how things go with our income¹

Projects & Collaboration

I have two projects that are in various stages of development right now that I’m also super-excited about and that will take up significant amounts of time and energy.  But, I’m not ready to reveal many details just yet.  One is a collaboration effort with a couple of other creative, intelligent, entrepreneur women who are fabulous.  Seriously, I feel so lucky to be working with them because there’s no way I would have ever thought of tackling something this fun and exciting on my own!  The other is just a little fun project that started brewing somewhere in the back of my mind last year.  It will involve a blog, but not this one.  I may, or may not, share a link to it when/if it happens, I’m still undecided about that.²

So that’s it for my goals for this year.  As we wrap things up before our vacation we are going to have a crazy busy week!  Not sure if I’ll be popping in over here,³ so if you want to keep up on what’s happening, be sure to check in with our travel blog, Sauntering Sunflower!

1. Did I mention that my office is moving?  There are a lot of ‘what if’s’ , but the number of hours I work may go up or down.  Will find out more as summer, and the end of our current lease, approaches. [↩]
2. Sorry about all the teaser info, but you’ll just have to deal with it, or beg me for details in the comments. [↩]
3. though I may at least post a picture of me after I get my hair done on Monday [↩]
