I’ve come to the conclusion that instead of the five goals I listed, I should have just had one goal: improve my short-term memory. Why? Because I keep forgetting my goals! My brain is on auto-pilot most days, thinking about obligations for work, school or church, so two or three days will go by before I realize that I haven’t done something. I think that I may have to post a checklist on my mirror to remind me of what I am supposed to be doing. I’m distracted on a regular basis, so I hope I don’t overlook the checklist! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can help myself remember to stick to my goals?
