One of the similarities of successful people is their love of list-making. So, in my attempt to be successful at achieving my goals for the year, I created lists in 2008 and 2009, but somehow forgot to make a list in 2010. My goals for 2009 were as follows:
Graduate
Visit a foreign country (UK or Australia maybe?)
Learn to play the ukulele
Lose 10 pounds
Use my bike at least once a week (after rainy season)
Use my camera more
I gladly report that I graduated, went to London, learned to play a song on the ukulele, and I used my camera quite a bit more. I did not, however, lose the intended 10 pounds, or use my bike once a week. That being said, I have used my bike more than ZERO times and lost some weight in 2010. Below is a video I made of my British shenanigans:
Had I remembered to make a list of goals for 2010, I probably would have written the following:
Pass the NCLEX
Get hired for the RN New Grad Residency of my dreams
Go somewhere I've never been before
Shoot some more weddings
I passed the NCLEX, I have not been hired for a residency yet, I haven't traveled anywhere new this year, but I did get to shoot some weddings. Although, there's still a month and some days left to achieve my other 2 goals for the year! I had an interview last week with Kaiser Oakland, Emergency. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping with all the powers of 2010 that I'll be able to check off #2 in the list above very soon!
