The First Quarter


I am setting my goals for the first quarter of the year.

There will be four main areas:

Writing. I have three major projects. Two will be done in the first quarter.

Office Organization. Long postponed. Am aiming for a new home library in the second quarter.

Study. Specific time is being set aside. The time must be preserved, or it will drift.

Coaching/Training. This is fun and is dedicated to a small pool of clients.
