Goal setting

by sidejump @ 2008-05-13 - 11:55:36

Today is dragging. I cannot get motivated. Could be something to do with the sun shining outside the window, or with the thought that this time next week I will be on my 2 day trip with R, or it may just be I need some new challenges.
Thing is, I have got some. A new assignment, involving staff in several countries, but my initial enthusiasm has waned a little with that. I think this is normal, and this feeling will pass, but it is tedious until it does.
My boss, who is based about 4 hours away, plans to visit me next month. He wants to talk about communication and expectations, and he wants to discuss my goals - where do I want to be in 2 months, and in 2 years time?
I know what he wants me to say. He wants me up where he is, but that is too far away from family and lover for me.
I have never been good at personal goal setting. I tend to go with the flow, and so far it has served me pretty well. But now, it looks like I may have to plan a bit more. There is a form I have to complete, with strengths and training needs, and goals! Maybe I will make a start this afternoon, maybe it will help me focus.
I have bought a lottery ticket as well, in the hope that fortune favours me, and I can jack in the day job. I do have dreams, that with a lottery win could become goals :)

I am rubbish at goal setting as well, everything that has happened to me in my life has just sort of happened. Good or bad.

i have just been reading up on goal setting, and when I really think about it, I know I am not where I want to be, personally and career wise, but making the leap and giving up the security of a well paid job is too much at present. Trouble is there is probably never the right moment. I don't know if I am brave enough to set my real goals, it requires determination and willpower to then acheive them. Drifting along letting things happen is the easy option. :( This is all my bosses fault! Unsettling me like this.
