> My father was really gungho live a well balanced life, etc. He seemed to trivialize my accomplishments. Always pissed me off.
I can somewhat relate; except my parents were more concerned about accomplishments that were trivial, they never cared much about the accomplishments that really mattered to me.
> I'm obsessive compulsive goal setter/perfectionist.
That's part of my problem -- I tend to be quite perfectionistic about goals I set, then I get overwhelmed/distracted/ADD'd and completely lose interest. It's like I get a huge burst of energy and then it's all gone.
> Now, I'm trying to be more laid back and enjoy little things. Maybe we can help each other complement our skill? You seem so nice and easy going. I'm uptight. Very type A.
Sure, I'll take some type A. I definitely have my uptight side, but I'm only uptight about strange things.
> What kind of goals do you want to work on?Getting through this semester, scheduling summer classes, transferring to a better school, getting a job, deciding what I want to do with my life... the usual stuff. I'll probably split everything up into smaller steps to try to prevent distraction.
> I'm standing on the sidelines rooting for ya!
Thanks, I really do appreciate it.
