Sometimes they have to be shifted around.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reporting your participation with me. :)Carma Dutrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552905128829205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-73072093597974180432007-05-19T14:41:00.000-07:002007-05-19T14:41:00.000-07:00Thanks for explaining this in more detail Carma. I...Thanks for explaining this in more detail Carma. I listed only 3 main goals, even though there were many more goals every hour of the day. The 3 main goals [buy clothes, work on and mail papers via FedEx Kinkos, and sell a lot of stuff via classified ads], however, got delayed. Here is an update and summary on the thing:<BR/><BR/>Monday : I went to Fedex Kinkos first, spent about an hour or so making copies and then mailing some things. Some paperwork still remained due to various other things that came to light, so they will be taken care of online tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Then I went to buy some clothes. I could not find everything in one place, so I decided to go to another place the next day.<BR/><BR/>I put the ad in the classifieds and some people said they would come later at night; they never did.<BR/><BR/>Tuesday : Had a choice to either go to FedEx again, or go early to buy necessary clothes. So I decided to work really early morning and do all the paperwork online, and then went to buy clothes. By the end of this day, goals # 1 and goals # 1 had been accomplished.<BR/><BR/>Goal # 3 had not been accomplished since the people that kept calling to come and buy the stuff via classifieds ads kept backing out or not showing up.<BR/><BR/>Wednesday, Thursday and Friday: many other goals come to light, and the classifieds ads goal is still in progress. The other goals have taken priority, and the classifieds ads goal is on the back burner.<BR/><BR/>From tonight or tomorrow I am going to try different classifieds ads and try stricter rules within the ads, such as a place and time to show up if someone wants the item, instead of depending on appointments which many people seem to be not taking seriously [because of the nature of classifieds ads].<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>So in the end, I did accomplish my goal of buying clothes and sending the papers, though they had to be modified a little bit as time passed. I still achieved the exact thing I wanted. The process and the time frame was modified due to changing circumstances, though I still accomplished those goals within the time frame I wanted.<BR/><BR/>As for goal # 3, I have a few people coming today to see the things for sale. If I do not post any update tonight, that means I managed to get my 3rd goal done also, though 2 days late. I am guessing personal, non-critical goals can be delayed and modified if I am selling something and looking for the right price? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-76765430908989142672007-05-14T13:52:00.000-07:002007-05-14T13:52:00.000-07:00Rick thank you for the kind words.Getting It Toget...Rick thank you for the kind words.<BR/><BR/>Getting It Together was really great.
