Adding a new goal...

[arthur_p_dent]

... Haircut. Every 4 weeks.

Why, you may ask, am I adding something so seemingly mundane to my list of goals? Well here's the thing.

I like to keep my hair short. Stubble short. And that's because it hides all the grey. And the grey really makes me look old - and when I notice how old I look, I start to feel old too.

It's been about 7 weeks since my last haircut. I was washing my hands a few minutes ago, and when I looked up into the mirror, I saw the age. And I thought to myself, why keep doing this? I know I hate it when I let it go this long, so why not stop letting it go this long?

Therefore, new goal. Haircut tonight, and it goes on the calendar every month for the rest of the year. Sure it's just a little thing, but if I feel better because of it, well what's more important than that? =]

Excellent goal. :]

Things that make you feel good are definitely worth persisting in doing.

They really are. =]

Great addition! I think it's good to have seemingly mundane goals along with the grander ones in general and especially if it's something that impacts your sense of self and self-esteem.

You know, it's something that bugs me all the time, but I never thought to use my goals list to help change it until now. I'm pretty happy about it. =]
