Do you set goals for yourself?
How do you find it it easiest for you to set and make progress toward your goals? Do you write them down? Where do you post them to remind yourself? Would love to learn from your approaches.

Kristen,
Hello! Yes, goal setting is so very important. I write a list of daily goals in a notebook. I attempt to be as productive as possible. However, o may it the task on the next day or weeks list if I am not feeling well one day due to weather changes or other variables .
At the moment I haven't set any goal.. feeling a little bit procastinating at the moment. :s
I, like Ksmiles123, write my goals in a notebook/agenda. I have a daily to-do list and check off items as they're accomplished throughout the day. For longer term goals, I've heard vision boards work nicely in serving as a reminder/motivation, but I've never tried them.
Nope no goals just go with the flow and do what I can when I need to.
We are all very different -- I love that! I find that writing things down generally works for me, but think I might try to outline some of the steps required for larger goals so they don't seem so daunting. That way I can feel some success when I meet the "smaller" goals that are a part of them.
Made, thanks for the laugh!
I usually do a daily to-do list, and keep a separate list of projects for work, but I don't tend to write down life goals. Maybe that's due to the unpredictability of chronic illness.

I find it really overwhelming trying to make plans past here and now! My daughter(23 months old) has non-cf cystic Bronchiectasis as well as multiple other serious medical conditions, and now her neurologist thinks there is a very good chance she is on the autism spectrum. So between exacerbations and complications , developmental delays and speech delays as well as serious behavioral issues.....if we plan to do something there is a definite possibility it will change. So we just try to focus on one day at a time!
