I find it easy to make a checklist of easy small attainable goals ( e.g. make a phone call, email somebody about something), But my September goal is to move forward on 2 large projects that feel a bit overwhelming and for which I’ve been procrastinating.. So I guess my REAL goal for this month is to make a list of small steps for both these projects. If I do that, I can begin checking them off and that will feel better than endlessly mulling the entire project around in my head.
September Goals
1. Finish and record new song co-written with Jamie.
2. Record new lyrics for song rewrite.
3. Complete SongTown class assignments.
4. Finish reading “Daring Greatly”
5. Complete 2 more lessons in Bonnie Baker self paced class.
My goals for September
1. Rewrite and record “Mama Said Welcome”
2. Work on a new song: “Sacred Soup Kitchen” by visiting the local soup kitchen as a person in need–notice sounds, smells, and my feelings a
