Q1 Goals roundup

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I didn’t set good goals this year (search the web for S.M.A.R.T. to see what good goals might look like).  But I can still evaluate myself on them (good, okay, fail) and firm some of them up for the rest of the year.

Health: Okay.  I’ve gotten my checkup, my cholesterol is good, and I’m getting enough protien and fiber.  But I’m not exercising or loosing weight.

Financial: Good.  I’m living within my means and saving.  Other than investments in the market (401k) my networth is trending up.  I’m contributing the amount I set in January to my retirement funds.  It’s on autopilot since I haven’t changed jobs.  Which brings me to…

New Job:  Fail.  I’ve got some things I need to do to even get to “okay”.  Obviously “good” would be actually having a new job.

Finishing House: Okay.  I’ve got a plumber in doing work, and the first set of inspections are done.  I’ve made some decisions that need to be made to proceed with several projects.  But I haven’t gotten as far as I wanted to.

Secondary Income: Fail.  I haven’t been posting regularly.  I haven’t looked into a couple of other things I meant to look at.  I did finally set up the Amazon associates link, so if you click on a book in the sidebar (and then buy it) I’ll get a tiny cut of the total.  But I have to reccomend buying books used (even though I don’t get a cut of that), so I suspect that won’t be a major source of income.
