I would love to see your goal lists too!  They don't have to be so comprehensive, even just one or two goals for the year are a good thing.  I recognize I have OCD and am a Perfectionist, so I tend to put too much on my plate- I have the "reach for the stars and you will achieve great things" mentality.  I may not get it all, but at least I have a great base of ideas to do (that's my way of working on NOT being OCD and Perfectionistic!)
