My list of Goals!
I like to have a place for everything and I need to plan out everything before I start. Sometimes, this weirdness of mine prevents me from just starting doing the things I so carefully plan.
So to stop me from procrastinating with starting to work towards achieving my goals, I thought it would be a good idea to write them all down in one place where I can review them and see my progress.
Not all of them can be labeled as goals but as actions that I want to take to improve in each area of my life.
