All the great productivity coach guru guys are pretty consistent in saying that if you are serious about getting something done, then you need to write it down.  I am going one further by writing it down and sharing with with the world at large.  I am a horrible procrastinator.  Actually that isn’t true, I am a terrific procrastinator.  But it needs to stop, because the guilt I am feeling about my lack of productivity is eating me alive inside.  So with new further adieu here are my short term goals:

1. Clean up my PVR.  I have oodles of things that are being recorded that I doubt I will get around to watching.  I take my TV seriously and this backlog has got to be resolved.
2. Clean the rust off my violin skills.  I used to play quite a bit, but I have definitely let my enthusiasm wane as of late.  I don’t want to lost my ability completely so I need to resume where I left off.
3. Organize my photos folder.  I have been guilty of just uploading and dumping all into one directory.  That just won’t due and it is the type of thing that if you leave it for too long you will never get around to cleaning it up.  And the job certainly isn’t getting any smaller.
4. Clean up my "junk drawer" (nuff said).
5. Read A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.  I think it is one of those books that you really have to familiarize yourself with.  Written by one of the most brilliant minds of our time I will fill immensely enriched by having exposed myself to it.
6. Get perm and coloring.  My last perm is almost completely gone now and it is well past time for another.
7. Commit to regular exercise activity.  Ha ha ha ha.

Yeah right.  I could hire a plane and sky write my intention to exercise and it still wouldn’t happen.  But a girl and dream right?
