Lmao.. why do I bother..

Everyone who had good input thank you.. I am going to focus on one goal now and not a bunch... the rest can wait.. baby steps

As for you countrygirl.. thanks for your apology.. it means a lot.. since some how.. most of the serious threads I post turn to shit.. just like this.. but we can focus on your pain for now.. rather than on steps it may take to improve our lives..

to few goals and i'm aimless,
too many goals and i'm crushed...

it's that fine line of keeping the carrot firmly on the stick for me.

My goal is to make goals? Does that qualify as a goal?

HOLY FUCK...the question with a question thread blew the 4 brain cells I have left....

I have been really struggling with my lack of motivation, aimless apathy...and feeling overwhelmed with life, my housework, my health and employment situation.

I am trying to set very small goals.

Yesterday, my goal was to shop at Target alone. I haven't been shopping alone in at least 6 months, maybe more.

Not overarching goals--- like "I will paint every day." I failed at that one....even "painting more" did not work for me. It made me stop painting! Why is that?????

I am thinking "baby steps"...a la "Anger Management".

I think maybe 3 goals max and then have "sub goals" for baby steps on how to reach the goals. (this is how I eventually made it through college, using that system) Make sure they are not too overwhelming or grandiose...something attainable.

Agree with Mojo.

Right now my only goal is to get thru each day and not fuck a specific someone up - couldnt be more serious if I tried
