Re-visiting this thread as after reading what maria had achieved, I said it made me want to shake myself up and get moving on my goals for the future.

However, having sat down with a pen and paper ready to do a list, I found myself with a mind block.  I know I want to achieve more than I have so far at work, would like to stress that I like my job, but want to improve in the hope that in the future, I would be able to, for example, earn more, when the time comes to move on.

There is also things I want to improve in my life outside work, make more time to meet up with friends, for example.

Can anyone advise how to expand on goals?  To say the two examples above make sense but they are quite broad, I guess I need to break them down into small steps but am struggling as to how.  I think I find it quite daunting as time is short for me to not only plan but also to carry out my plans. Like most people I work all day and am often so tired when I get home, to use my brain even more seems impossible. 

Any help you can give would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
