In 2000 when I started my librarian job I bought a black binder with clear sleeves. On the front cover I inserted an index card that I typed my life goals on. On the back cover I inserted the Theodore Roosevelt quote about daring greatly.
I used each tabbed section of the binder to insert different worksheets. One section houses pages that list my goals for each decade of my life. Another section is where I placed the Accomplishments lists. A different section contains sheets of life guidelines I typed up.
Every so often I re-read the binder. When I showed the binder to a woman who was an LCSW she was astonished that I wrote down my goals in vivid detail.
I recommend creating a goals binder. Skimming through it might give you comfort in this time of the pandemic where everything has been halted.
At first you might read the contents every week. I read my own binder every two months.
In tandem with this approach I recommend keeping a goals journal. I’ll talk about this in the coming blog entry.
