Goals.

At DG, we were challenged to set concrete goals for ourselves. I guess these are goals just for the term, but hopefully will help me to build good habits that last longer than that.

Spiritual
- spend more time reading the Word
- read one book of the Bible per month
- spend more time in prayer at the start of the day
- remember to pray with confidence
Action:
- read the daily verses in my devotional planner (can be done during the school day, either during class or at lunch)
- read 'New Testament in a Year' passages daily (in the evening, ie. after dinner)
- read a short passage/chapter from Psalms daily, as a way to relax/meditate (ie. upon returning home for the day)
- wake up early on Wednesdays before class to pray (ie. 7:45am), attend CCF prayer meetings on Sunday night

Physical
- learn how to do a wristshot and snapshot
- become more confident in backwards skating in a game situation
- be able to comfortably do 25 push-ups
Action:
- practice more during hockey skills class
- more push-up contests with Mike

Professional
- maintain Dean's List standing this term
- figure out stuff for American boards
Action:
- don't slack off, go to the library when I need to
- make a study plan for Part I (in August), find out when registration deadlines are

Relational
- spend more time with friends/classmates outside of class time
- phone home more often, talk to my dad
Action:
- email my parents more regularly to update them, and phone home every 4-7 days
- be more proactive about initiating having meals/coffee/etc.

Financial
- tithe 1/10 of this term's bursaries
- be more generous
Action:
- tithe
- buy gifts for friends and family more often

Personal
- read more books
Action:
- finish read The Alchemist before the end of reading week
- find another book to read before the end of term

A good habit to build up in general would be to learn to manage my time better. I tend to waste a lot of time just going on Facebook/Twitter, reading FML,... I don't even know what else. Someone suggested just deleting Facebook, but I don't know if I'm that hardcore. I'll go with these for now and see how it goes.
And... break!
