Lately I have had a lot of stuff on my mind and it is driving me slightly crazy. There are so many different things I want to do and I have so little time to share between them. So each night, I sit down and try to decide what do to that night, by the time I get round to deciding, its bed time. Whats a guy to do?!
What things I hear you cry? Well its quite a diverse list ranging from expanding my knowledge portfolio (thanks prag prog!), working on my current list of projects, fleshing out some of the ideas I have for new projects, getting myself fit, DIY work round the house, learning to play the guitar, my new hobby of amateur photography, gaming and spending quality time with the family. I am also considering touting for little bit of freelance work to supplement my craving for all things gadgety (Anyone need a part-time coder??).
Somehow I need to organise my thoughts and start to manage my time effectively. If I don’t, I will never get anything done!

So you have your list of high-level goals… Have you specified the criteria for success of each of them?
Good question! At the beginning of the year I broke my goals down into a set of objectives but I never really qualified them with actual success metrics. I haven’t looked at that list in a while, thanks for reminding me!! For some tasks it would be really easy, painting a fence for example. For others like learning photography or the guitar, success isn’t as obvious. Last week I also tried to set out a basic weekly planner so that I could at least know what I want to do each evening (Tonight I will be reading the Pick Axe and beginning GTAIV after the little guy gets to bed). Of course it is more of a guide than a schedule.
