RE: Weekly Goals
I agree no such thing as a dumb goal, but there are a couple of secrets to achieving goals
1. Write them down (which you've done).* This makes them real and makes you accountable.* There's even books that suggest that you write them down on paper and the sign it, just like you would a contract.
2.* Make them very specific (which you've done again).* For example, "I want to lose 19 lbs by Jan 01" is better than "I want to be skinny".
3.* Make sure you also write down the benefit of each goal.* It's very important to know that you will get some benefit, perk, or prize for achieving a goal.* It can be as simple as "It will make me feel good", but this provides a constant reminder as to why you have the goal.
4.* Have a deadline for each goal.* It can be daily, weekly, monthly,....etc, but in general it's good to have a long-term life-purpose kind of goal (one that will take years to achieve) and then also have several shorter term goals that all build on top of each other.
