I've completed one goal so it can move out of my way.  It sounds strange to say a goal is out of the way.  But I'm tracking a couple of more task-oriented items that have due dates and will get in the way of the big goals if I can't keep them moving.  They aren't really milestones in the big goals, but separate items that relate to and help the big goals if I don't let them drag me down.  

I write.  This fall I'm judging for two writing contests.  Today I get the submissions I need to read for contest two, so I wanted to have contest one wrapped up and finished before the new stories came it.  Last night I finished contest one.  When I find out how many entries I have to read for contest two, I'll set a deadline for it.  Then I can look at setting some writing milestones.  But there's nothing like something that forces me to stop or slow down on writing to make me want to jump back in stronger.

And nanowrimo is fast approaching!
