Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail: writing goals, making resolutions and reviewing life.
The last year has been, in the words of one of my dear friend, a bitch, which rather clouds things when I look back over how much I've achieved. At the end of the year, I generally like to write some goals for the next year.
