I'm going to a business coach in a few days.  One of the important things that has already come out of this appiontment (which was free as a new year's give away) was a forcing function for me to create a list of my goals for 2012.  From some of the books I've read, I decided the easiest way to create this list was to brainstorm a list of possible goals, and then to organize them.  The easiest way I could think of brainstorming a list was to go around and hijack parts of others peoples lists.  It didn't take much googling before I found lots of lists of lists of 100 things people wanted to accomplish in their life time.  That made it pretty easy to create a fairly extensive list of possible goals.  The emphasis here is certainly on possible.  I didn't know if any of these goals would appeal to me even 60 seconds after I wrote them down.  However, I know that judging during brainstorming never leads to good things.  Therefore, it was a very unfiltered list.  Here is that list.  (Sorry about the formatting, this is pasted out of evernote, which doesn't always have the best formatting).
