I am not a goal setter. I am just now working on getting retired, so am absolutely enjoying letting myself do whatever I feel like. My only goals are making it to the gym at some point each day, and not turning on the television.

I've tried setting goals but it doesn't seem to work. I just can't stay focused, or 'chit' happens, and I stray to another project. My UFO's increased by 2 just last week!

I am involuntarily retired and find myself accomplishing less than when I was working.

Shame onf me!

I only set a goal when I have an absolute deadline. That is probably why I have several projects going on at the same time. My immediate goal for this week...get the 4h-er that I help to get her project finished. It's a table topper....and taking much longer than it should to finish.

I'm going to finish piecing together a quilt top by Monday. Then I'll paint the living room and foyer. Hopefully when my muscles feel better then I'll quilt the top I just finished and another one that is in waiting. Regretfully there are too many home projects that need to be finished this year besides quilting.....but watch out next year!!

I'm hand quilting a Sunbonnet Sue quilt that I hope on finishing someday. No time frame as I made the top twenty-something years ago. No rush here just a few more stitches every day.

Currently I am trying to finish started but unfinished tops. Once those are done I try to quilt at least 2 tops for every new top I make. Diane C

I get less accomplished now being retired than when I was working. How do we loose so many hours of the day when we retire? However, when I was working ,I didn't have DSL on my computer ,only dial up- so using the computer wasn't as exciting .I agree with you, each day that we "accomplish something" is a happy day.
