Seeing the goals in black and white seems a bit daunting. Trying to work 4 days a week and help with the impending arrival of a new grandchild may make my goals too ambitious. The biggest challenge for next year will be time management, the ability to sort what really matters from what really just wastes time. Goal-defining may help in that effort.
