Goals are something we all should have. I have many, many goals in life, whether personally or professionally, and of course some of them I've reached and others I haven't. As I think of my goal for this school year I wonder if I should make short-term and long-term goals, monthly vs weekly goals etc... I work best with the "big picture" in mind so I've decided that my over-arching goal is going to be: Do the best I can every day with what I have and not stress about the rest.
That may seem simplistic, but for me I need to realize that I can only do, what I can do, with what I have (say that 3X really fast). My goal is to do my job to the best of my ability each day, and not get so worked up when technology doesn't work, when I can't solve problems right away, and when staff members are short on patience with me. Stressing over all this stuff doesn't make things better, in fact, I feel a lot worse and consequently get less done.
Simplistic goal? I don't think so. Realistic goal? I think so. I guess I'll know after I start stressing, right? I plan to share my goal with others so hopefully when I'm stressing out they can remind me---that I'm doing the best I can with what I have---and maybe, just maybe, I can help them likewise.
