Goals With Indicators, for Jan. 2011
I know I'm looking a little obsessive here, but this is how my brain works after too many years of doing business planning. This will be boring for anyone else, but it's for me to put in my goals page and refer to. I wanted the indicators to go with the goals, because it will help me be more clear about what I'm shooting for and also help me to visualize it. The crossed items are being removed and the red items are items I've just added. They are mostly the pieces needed for level one, with the addition of shoulder in and ramener.
