Targets for first 3 months 2011

Goal setting is an easy thing to do at the start of a new year - achieving those goal, or even sticking to them is a little trickier, so for the next three months I'm going to set myself some targets to aim at - they are part of longer range goals, which will I'll also include here, but to step towards them I'm going to give myself some easier targets to achieve - it's the old "how do you eat an elephant?" question - one bite at a time!

Here's the thing with goals/targets - they're always best when you can measure them - "be better" is a poor goal since it can't be measured, but in life we know when we're not being the best we can be, and I'll alow myself simply to "be better"  The measurable ones, I'll be updating regularlly - the non-measurable ones, less often.
