I think goals are important. I like making them more than a resolution because I suck at resolutions. I also like check-list and I can check off goals on a list more than I can a resolution. I have little post-it notes with all kinds of check-lists on them all over my desk. There is something so satisfying to me about checking things off the list that I usually add more just to I can check it off.
Below is the start to my 2011 Goals. I am sure there will be more and I will update as I add and accomplish. Hope this inspires you to make a goal list of your own.

here’s some advice from ur favorite phd student of work performance, motivation, and achievement “make SMART goals”
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic/Relevant, and Tangible/Time-bound (SMART)
Yeap, I follow the SMART platform when making goals at work and most time in life. But sometimes it is fun to break the rules and just have stuff you want to achieve.
