Goals for the summer:
-Read books for fun
-Read books off of the MA reading list
-Work
-Weigh less than Travis (it's an old goal, but it's a fun one, and near impossible since he is constantly losing weight himself)
-Run 3 miles in a half hour
-Go to the gym at least 3x a week
-Finish ORCA grant (by June, actually)
-Write the musical with Tasch and Bobby
-Finally write a breadbox story
-At least one road trip, even if it's just to St George for a day or two

Issues to overcome to accomplish these goals:
-laziness
-forgetting about them
-finding motivation
-apathy
-creating new goals in the moment
-not taking them seriously
-giving up
-Writer's block
-falling into a coma
-relapsing into an analphabet stage of life
-sudden amnesia

Books on my Summer Reading List (So Far):
-The Handmaid's Tale (done)
-He's Just Not That Into You (done)
-Love in the Time of Cholera (a little over a 1/3 of the way through this already)
-Les Lettres Persanes
-Bonheur d'Occasion
-Le Rouge et le Noir
-Lots of cookbooks (Julia Child, Martha Stewart, etc)

You seem to have something on your lists a lot that echoes the same theme... laziness, finding motivation, procrastination... :) You may not be able to rid yourself of this, I believe it is in your genes. :)

this is true, but I'm going to defy my genes. I'm going to defy science! Bahahaha! (that was an evil laugh, please see Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog for examples)
