Smart Goals

Dear J—

In corrective action space, we talk about having SMART goals – an acronym that describes them as systematic, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. At this point the work I’ve been doing in February has been under the category “none of the above” so there’s that to worry about, but no matter; we will continue to keep laboring until we’re there. Maybe I should redefine the first one as “small”: first little thing is to get the inbox cleaned up, then my desk. It’s hard to be thinking straight if there’s clutter all over, isn’t it?
