More than a week into 2007, I’m a bit late in posting this, but please forgive me. I actually set my top goals for 2007 in December, and have already gotten off to a good start on working towards them.
进入2007年已经一个多星期了,请原谅我这么晚才发表这篇博客。事实上在12月份我已经制定好了目标,并且已经有了一个良好的开端。
I decided to set goals that are challenging but achievable, something that will make me feel good about myself after I complete them. What I have here are some good goals, and I think I can accomplish them.
我决定制定那些有挑战但能达成的目标,当完成后我会感觉很好。下面是我认为的一些比较好的目标,并能完成的目标。
How I will accomplish them: It’s all good and well to write out your goals, but you have to do something to keep your focus on them, keep you motivated, and ensure that you are on track the whole year long. How will I do that? Weekly goal meetings with my wife.
我如何完成:写出你的目标非常重要,但是你必须做一些事情来保持持续的关注,保证一直受鼓励,并且确保你在接下来的一年中都不会偏离。我会怎么做?和我妻子进行每周的目标商议。
My wife and I have decided to be “goal buddies” this year, and to that end, we are meeting once a week to set our goals and review what we’ve done. For example, at the beginning of January, we took our goals for the year and decided what we would try to accomplish in January for each goal. We tried to make it something easily accomplishable in one month. Then, each week in January, we set weekly goals that help us toward the monthly goals. Each day, we look at our weekly goals and see what we can do that day.
今年我和我的妻子决定成为“目标同伴”,为此,我们每周都会面对面制定目标,回顾已做的事情。例如,1月份初,我们制定了今年的目标,决定在一月尝试着为每个目标努力,试着在一个月内让一些事情完成得容易一些。于是,在1月份的每个星期,我们都会制定周目标以便达成月目标。每天,我们都会看制定的周目标和当天能做的事情。
So all year long, we have a mechanism to track our progress, review our accomplishments and failures, and set mini goals that help us toward the year’s overall goals. It’s working great so far and I hope to report good progress as the year goes on. It keeps us motivated and it’s so much better than just writing down some resolutions and forgetting about them after a few weeks.
所以一年来,这个机制跟踪我们的进展,回顾成功和失败,制定小目标来帮助我们完成全年目标。目前为止这个机制进行得非常好,我希望随着一年时间的持续进行,能记录好的进展。它会一直鼓励我,比仅仅将行动写下来然后在几周时间后忘记要好得多。
So without further ado, here are my goals for the year:
言归正传,以下是我今年的目标:
Top Goals for 2007
2007年的最高目标
* Triathlon: Train at least 2x a week each for bike, swim, run, and complete an Olympic triathlon by July 2007. Write a column once every two weeks about the experience.
* 铁人三项:每周至少训练两次自行车、游泳、跑步,完成2007年7月的奥运会的铁人三项。
* Strength training: Train 3x a week, gaining slight mass and definition (while losing fat through triathlon training). Take a picture in December, then every 3-4 months.
* 强度训练:每周训练三次,【这里看不懂】(在训练中减肥)。12月份拍一张照片,然后每3到4个月拍一张。
* Yard work: Get it back in shape in December 2006, then cut once a week for 1-2 hours to keep in shape. Should have a nicely maintained yard.
* 庭院劳动:2006年12月开始进行修整,之后每周花费1-2个小时修剪保持形状。应该有一个保持的非常好的院子。
* Payoff credit card, car: Set payment plan, make regular payments. Celebrate when done!

* Meditate: At least twice a week, meditate for 20-30 minutes.
* 冥想:每周至少2次,每次20到30分钟。
* Positive Parenting: Become a calmer, more positive parent. Stop yelling and spanking. Teach them with love. Will practice daily, with wife to help me.
* 积极家教:成为一个冷静,更加积极家教的人。停止叫喊和惩罚。用爱教育他们。我将每天练习,妻子从旁协助。
* Simplify: Reduce my needs. Reduce clutter. Reduce complications in life. Simplify workday. Simplify the house. Create times of peace (meditation, running, reading, quiet times with wife, kids).
* 简化:减少我所需要的东西,避免混乱,生活中减少的复杂化的发生,简化工作日,简化房子,创造更多的和平(冥想,跑步,阅读,和妻子的安静时光,孩子)
* Take Action: Do things to help raise awareness and improve global warming, poverty and Guam’s political status.
