Goal Setting for 2009!

[the102]

The road to recovery….

In order to kick-start my recovery to set myself up to have a killer 2009 I’ve taken the time to identify and write down a bunch of goals (in no particular order) for the next 12 months in areas of my life that are important to me right now; health/fitness, self-development, my poker career and the development of my blog

I will keep adding to this list as I set new goals and I will tick things off as I reach them, so I can look back on them at a later date and see all that I have achieved.

- Schedule a day off from doing anything poker related ... tuesdays.
- Schedule time each week to do some poker training and review hand histories.
- Buy a video replayer so that I can record my own training videos for the purpose of training, reviewing and critiquing my own play.
- Seek out players whom I admire (both live and online) and learn from them … also to expand my friendship group within the poker community.

"Start taking a quality nutritional supplement."

Dude - one your setting yourself up for dissapointment by setting such high goals....What happens if you dont achieve the majority of those goals? ARe you going to feel depressed, frustrated?

Your goal setting is very good but you should look to achieve one goal at a time slowly....every time you achieve one you should reward your self and not see it as a failure if you dont do what you wanted to originally. Start of with easier goals eg? where are you on the pocket fives ranking board? If your 100th your goal should be to crack maybe 70th within 6 months and the reassess your goals when the goal has been achieved. I can say that getting into the top 10 would be a hard slog and your volume has to be pretty high. Needless to say you need a lot of skill to get up there.

Good luck
