Goals fall into three basic categories:
These basic goal types can be further broken down into the various facets of life:
Of course, these can (and should) be broken down into more and more specific categories/tasks as they are identified. So why are having goals important?

I can hear you guys wincing already, "But that sounds like a whole lot of work, Walt. I just don't have the time. Besides, things are going OK as they are -- I've done pretty well for myself up to this point!" Or maybe you would like to inject some extra rocket fuel for your life's journey. Getting started is easy -- here's how:
Grab a pencil and paper and go find a quiet spot in your home where you can be undisturbed for 30 minutes. Get yourself and egg timer, if you have to. READY, SET... WRITE!
The goal is to write 100 goals, of all kinds, in the next 30 minutes. Let your imagination run wild; Think of this like a list of the things which you want most in life. Essentially, write down your "Dream Life." Consider the list a work in progress, as each day passes, you'll think of things you'd like to add -- include them. Next post, we'll discuss what to do with your list.
Until then, HAVE FUN!
