Setting Goals

This weekend, I went to a friends wedding and spent some time with my fiancee. If I haven't said it, she is the best thing to ever happen to me. She is independent, yet still loves to spend time together. She is working on her PhD right now, so time is a little sparing, but I'm sure she'll get annoyed with me soon enough...lol. So I was thinking about some of the goals I want to set for myself for the rest of the month.

Goal #1 - I want to play a minimum of 2,000 hands a day that I play. I will not be playing everyday, but the days that I do play I want to get a good volume in. If I lose a couple of buy-ins and just don't feel like I'm playing well, I'll call it a short day. If I'm running well and sitting at some juicy tables, I'll obviously put in longer sessions.

Goal #2 - To play the next level, comfortably, I need to win about 10 buy-ins. So I hope to be playing the next level by the end of the month. Right now I am booking small wins. Hopefully that will change I will have some big days. I'm booking small wins because of bad beats towards the end of sessions and overplaying a few hands. SO I need to make the right adjustments and hopefully the wins will come. For the most part, I need to put in some serious sessions and get the proper volume.

Goal #3 - Get a workout routine together. I have been slacking on this one. I have a gym membership that I haven't really used lately. I want to schedule at least 3 days a week. My routine will be 10 mins of warmup cardio, lift for about 30-40 mins, then another 30 mins of cardio to finish. I did this routine about a year ago and not only lost quite a bit of weight, but put on some good lean muscle. So I need to get back to the routine.

Goal #4 - Help with the plans for our wedding. We only have about 2 months to go, so I need to finish some of the tasks that my fiancee gave me. I've finished the tasks she gave me last week, I just need to be more proactive and get things done early.

Goal #5 - I need to find a decent day job. Don't get me wrong, I love poker and have been successful playing. However, going into a marriage, I need to have some reasonable regular income. Nothing will strain a marriage more than one person making money, then I go on a sick cooler and lose money. So until I make enough playing at the bigger levels to make up for my part of the bills, I will have to find a good job. I should have found one earlier, but I'm a degenerate....lol.

So those are my goals for the rest of the month. I have to get these done. GL to me. :)
