Finally, this is my 2008 Outlook. I have four areas of focus for this year: writing and work, personal relationships, general finances, and fitness and well-being. In the past this was organized differently but that model made it difficult to evaluate which items were “moving” and which weren’t getting any attention at all.
I have been thinking about Christine Kane’s design of be-do-have and that flows with my own direction so I am borrowing it for my new goals design. Each of the four areas above has action items that correspond to be and do and have which are listed below.
BE:
- To be happy
- To be present and in the present
- To be friendlier
- To be fit and well and more relaxed
- To be more comfortable with wealth and money
- To be inspiring
DO:
- To do more writing for a living as well as personal satisfaction
- To do a regular women’s activity
- To do more walking and biking
- To take a workshop
- To lead/teach a workshop
- To launch writing-based business
HAVE:
- To have local friends and mentors as well as online
- To have a professional blog or online column
- To have an increased cashflow
- To have an IRA
- To have other writing work and clients
- To have a mentee
Each of these has a more detailed action design which I am not sharing online to the entire Internet universe. My long-term readers are welcome to inquire about this by using the email address in my profile. However, as I work through things over the coming year I expect to write about some of these and details will likely be part of those discussions.
Since it seems that I am one of the last bloggers in the universe to post my goals or resolutions it is probably pointless to ask about others. Feel free, however, to leave a comment on my list or your experience using be-do-have if you’re familiar with the model.

I also like Christine Kane. As well, I find this process very valuable.
Focusing on "be" lately has helped keep things in better perspective.
