Class Assignment #1 – Values and Goals

Tonight is our first “online” class for Holiday in Hand. I’m really looking forward to it, as its been awhile since I have done an online class.

Our first assignment requires two exercises. The first exercise is to write our values and goals. We are supposed to do this to confirm to ourselves what we really want out of the class, and what we really want to accomplish in the next 6 weeks. This goes for outside of the class as well.

So here we go.

My values and goals for the next six week don’t only revolve around Christmas, I have so many things I want to do and get done over the next several weeks.

Goal #1 – To complete my 50K novel and begin editing.
Goal #2 – To get Christmas gifts purchased.
Goal #3 – To decorate for the holidays.
Goal #4 – To spend more time with my kids talking about the true meaning of the season. While I know we have done this in the past, it would help to reconfirm to them what the season is really about.
Goal #5 – Get more organized for the upcoming holidays. Stay that way.

I plan to add to these as I go. Unfortunately, I need to get back to writing right now, so I need to keep this list simple, and short, so I can move onto the next assignment.
