so often it's hard to focus on one thing. even more often than that, i have a hard time figuring out what to tell you about. so much happens, and so much is forgotten. a New Year's resolution would be to write more. i need to remember things, yeah, of course i remember important things..but the little things are worth so much more oftentimes.

5. Make a Sheet of Goals

I took a class over the summer that was focused on studying..but at the start, we all created a poster of goals under each of the following catagories
