September Monthly Goals Meet-up

Written on September 10, 2009 by in life

Rebecca Thorman over at Modite has a great new project called the Monthly Goal Meet-Up, where participants write down their goals for the month on their blog and check back to see progress by the end of the month. I think it’s a great idea, and although I don’t usually get personal on this blog, I figure why not? Now, I’m a bit late on this but better late than never, I suppose. Hopefully I’ll have accomplished something by the end of the month.

So, here are my September goals –

  1. Continue prepping hard for the LSAT and score well on Sept 26.
  2. Make progress on my senior thesis and writing by the time school starts. Be ready to discuss the thesis with my adviser and seminar class.
  3. Ensure that Amnesty International @ NU (school society) is ready for all the events we are going to hold this quarter. Get everything up and running.
  4. After school starts and things get busy, put aside 1-2 hours a week to write in this blog so it doesn’t get neglected.
  5. Finalize and send out emails about a new blog project/series I’m contemplating!
  6. Finalize fellowship/job opportunities to apply for in the next couple of months.
  7. Begin law school applications.

Phew! So I’ll admit that this list is slightly intimidating. But it’s gotta be done – so wish me luck!

    Definitely a lot of goals! But I have a feeling you’re one of the few that can pull it off – thanks for participating!

      Thank you! I do hope I can pull these off…it’s quite time consuming but I’m working/studying hard :) Hope it pays off.

      Thanks to YOU for creating this wonderful idea. Love it.

    I think it’s okay to “over-shoot.” Everyone is different and I think the undershooting is like selling yourself short. Go for it! Good luck :)

      This is true. That reminds me of a quote I love:

      “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will still land among the stars.” – Les Brown

      Thanks for the inspiration! :)

    Wow, I’m getting overwhelmed just reading your list. Sounds like you’ve got experience with this kind of stuff though so I’m sure you’ll know all of them off!

    Good luck especially with the Law School process!

      Haha don’t get too overwhelmed…that task is best left to me! Yeah, the thing is I often make personal to-do lists for myself. In fact I make one practically every day. It really keeps me on track. But what’s great about this goal meet up is that it got me thinking about this again, since I’ve stopped doing this over the summer. It got me back on track. Thanks again!

    Oh, your list reminds me of the way that i roll. I love a little structure in my life, and lists are one of the ways i do it! Good luck with all of your goals – here’s to a successful, productive and fun September!

      Thank you Louise! Agreed, I love a little structure to make things more clear. I think it really helps you focus and get on it, and prevents procrastination. Thanks again and best of luck to you too! :)

    Wow, that’s some list! Best of luck for what’s left of September. I have a feeling you’ll get through it just fine. From what I’ve been reading, it looks like the people who joined the Monthy Goal Meet-up have a pretty good track record so far — I doubt yours will wind up to be any different :D

      Thanks! I do agree – I think most people are doing great on their goals. Hopefully mine will work out. Though I have to say, it’s more like stuff I HAVE to do rather than..goals. If I tried to add additional goals on top of all this it would be too much. Thanks for the encouragement!!
