A good idea, but...
5 May 2010
Do you ever read something and think, “That’s a good idea. I should really do that…” all the while knowing it’s not going to happen? One of my author friends, Erica Vetsch, posted yesterday about goal setting. I’m a big fan of goals myself. (If it’s a form of organizing, I’m usually way into it.) In the old days, pre-McKenna and Connor, I rarely set goals that I didn’t achieve.
Erica has a novel she’s wanting to get written by July 4th. Because she’s a smart cookie, she’s busted out her calendar and figured out that she needs to write 1500 words a day between now and then to allow herself time to do edits and get it to writing partners. This is brilliant. I should totally do this.
After I Twitter and update my Facebook status. And send a follow-up e-mail to my marketing gal about something we discussed last week. And get those reviews posted that I’ve been promising for, oh, a month now…
How do you keep all those little things from taking over your big goals?

I’d say the answer is to give up on sleep, but that’s impossible in the third trimester. Hmmm . . . do you really need to take all that time for breathing?
