I seem to be of an obsessive achiever, so I've found out, so they make my goals rather challenging to plan for. Also, I am the kind that if I'm stuck in traffic (for example), I'll just sigh and give up. I mean, I can't make traffic go any faster by getting upset. Same outlook I give to my goals; if they're moving slow or moving the opposite direction, I'll sigh it out. It may take longer, but I'll eventually get there.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-71891438122389702102012-12-05T08:22:06.158-08:002012-12-05T08:22:06.158-08:00Hi Debt-Free - that's how I attempt to handle ...Hi Debt-Free - that's how I attempt to handle longer range goals, but I'm not as good with things that you can't measure. I, of course, understand the intrinsic value of spendign time with family, etc, but sometimes it's hard for me to remember that in the moment, when I'm churning through a long list of things to do.

It kind of feels old.<br />I'm sure that you will find balance. It seems what our lives are about-finding a way to get it all done and be fair to ourselves and others. <br />I can't wait to see what you have planned for 2013!Sonya Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985227040902078422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-23396612800932041452012-12-04T09:11:55.257-08:002012-12-04T09:11:55.257-08:00I am the exact same!

I have so much trouble staying motivated for long-range tasks because I get bored and discouraged when I feel like I'm not making any progress.<br /><br />The only solution I've thought of is to break it up into smaller increments. So, when I was saving for my $10,000 emergency fund, I made savings graphs for each $1,000 so it didn't seem so intimidating and there was more gratification.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing what other tips people have though.Debt-Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280760033556207031noreply@blogger.com
