Goals and Schedules and The Future

Life has taken me by the coattails and swung me around during the past couple of months. In order to get a handle on everything, I sat down and looked forward (instead of in my rearview mirror, as I have for the past couple of years) and realize that if I'm going to have the life I want, there has to be a road map in place and I need to be driving my own car. So, I now have a five year and ten year plan that includes schedules for the books that are currently on my "hot plate."

This is something I've espoused for my students but to actually do it for myself . . . well, that's put it this way, I never did think about anything beyond the next week or so unless I was planning a vacation.

Now, the vacation is planned (Thailand in May) and I have a publication/writing schedule, as well as a life plan and retirement schedule.

First on the hotplate, finish rewriting the Izzy book, which is currently on my bedside stand, 3/4 of an inch of printed pages awaiting my proofreading/editing.

I'd better get to it!
