A lot of goals in one month despite my low success level in July.
This time I INTEND to accomplish them.  |
wow jwz,
You reminds me of myself when I just started out on PD few years ago!
I would like to give some suggestions to your goals, it will helps you accomplish them easier!
Quote:
| 1. Study/apply PD much much more to gain self-esteem, willpower and discipline enough to accomplish most of my monthly goals. (especially APPLYING the PD stuff I read about) |
How much more is your much much more? Study 5 books? 10 books? 3 cds? Apply what PD? Try to be more specific ya

| 2. Now I REALLY need to quit smoking. Perhaps I will be a non-smoker by the end of July. If so, I will NOT smoke in August. I quit smoking yesterday, 28th of July |
Why you will not smoke in August only if you are a non-smoker by end of July? I would suggest you just set the goal, "I will not smoke in August no matter what!"

| 3. Save up money. It's about time that I begin saving up for all the great things I dream about in my future. xx |
Glad that you want to save up money, but how much?? $10 is also saving, but i think that doesn't help much right? What are all those great things you dream about? Do a research on them, find their pictures, details, write them down, find out how much they cost. Decide when you want to own them, then divide the cost by the number of months to achieve, and you will have the figure you need to save up.
I will not go into each goal, but the fundamental of goal setting is the same. Use S.M.A.R.T to set your goals. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-sensitive) and you will have a much higher chance to accomplish them!

| 8. Lose weight. I aim for losing 8kgs. (99>92) oops, I'm at 100kgs now |
This is a good goal, specific and clear. But losin 8 kgs in 1 month, is it achievable without going for professional help? You need very detail action plans and the discipline to execute them vigorously in order to achieve it. But as long as you are determine, it is still possible!
All the way man! I'm sure you can accomplish all your goals!
Cheers!
