Day 2: Assembling a List of Goals

This is a rough list of the goals I would like to accomplish (just from the top of my head). I think this is a great place to start, and I'll do my best to regularly evaluate my progress, revise as is necessary and even add new goals as I progress on this journey to do more for myself and become a better person.

-Hold myself accountable with my finances. Stop borrowing money from parents all the time, and pay them back when you say you are going to.

Design a budget worksheet. Include consideration for bills, entertainment, transportation, etc,. Keep in mind that it would be in my best interest to include some sort of way to keep track of whether or not I spent my money like I planned I would.

File your taxes already. The money is waiting for me. I just have to make sure I don’t get it and immediately go blow it on shoes or an HDTV.

Repair your credit. Continue to make payments on time to Macy’s. Keep in mind that, eventually, I'll have to start paying off the rest of my debt, too.

[Oh, and for anyone who wants a great resource for managing your credit, checking your credit score and whatnot, check out freecreditreport.com. It's been very helpful for me so far, and I doubt there are many for whom it wouldn't help out. -Cam]

-Get more involved in music. Look up the cost of lessons at Ethos and learn to play the piano. Find studio recording classes at PCC Cascade.

-Apply for the radio job at K-HITS 106.7

-Go see an advisor at PCC. Get an Associate of Arts in Web Development and work towards fulfilling AAOTD (Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree) requirements in order to transfer and pursue a Bachelor’s degree in something more general and less technical.

-Achieve balance at all costs. I don’t feel like a very balanced person at the moment. I feel like I put to much effort into the girlfriend aspect of my life and not enough for myself, my friends and my family.

-Read more. I don’t read much, but I enjoy books a lot. What’s stopping me?

It might be easier to read more often if I didn’t owe the library $85. Just a thought.

Authors to keep in mind: Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk [Any other suggestions?]

-Write more. I don’t think I’m going to get anywhere if I don’t take the time to write down my thoughts, evaluate my goal progress, etc,.

Going good so far.

Plans for Today:
-Stop by Ethos for music lesson pamphlet.
-Talk to an adviser at PCC concerning the direction I wish to take for my studies.
-Compose initial draft of e-mail seeking job at K-HITS 106.7.
