I made three posts in early 2013 detailing some targets I had for the upcoming year, and all of them started well but fizzled out after I stopped smoking for some reason. I feel that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them and improve myself. Here is my appraisal of the creative targets I set myself in…

Fail

I made three posts in January of 2013 outlining some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end. I reckon that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. I’m tackling the videogame targets in this post – You can find the original one here, if you’re interested.

As you can see if you follow that link – I failed my attempt at reaching 100,000 Gamerscore in 2013. I’m not really bothered by this, as I (finally) learned that my time is worth more than some arbitrary number, and I had fun playing some great games in 2013, and that’s what counts. Still, I have made a new target, which roughly works out at 50% of the Achievement score of all the games in my pile of shame, I think. I reckon 50% is about right for any story or Campaign related Achievements in all the games on the list.

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

http://www.trueachievements.com/gamergoals.aspx?gamerid=2710 I know I was debating not having a target this year, but with all these other targets I thought "Why not, eh?". Can I get to 100,000 in eleven months? It's an increase of around 14,000 - I managed that last year. If I can find enough short and easy games then it won't take long, but I'm kind…

It's got me thinking, the creative target thing. Maybe I need to have targets... No, no, no, I already have targets. Maybe I need to make these targets public? Well first of all, and this may come as no surprise, I'd like to stop smoking. I'm starting to feel the effects badly now - I dread catching a cold, and,…

How they can motivate you, boost your confidence, and also keep you within the realms of reality: There is a difference between goals and fantasies. I am going to set some…
