I work better under DEADLINES so here is my list of things that I need to accomplish in the up coming months. Hopefully this will help me stay on track, because as much as I need deadlines I also need FOCUS. I can get scatter pretty easily. I have to admit I tend to loose my focus quite a bit. I'm really good at starting a project it's the finishing that's the hard part.

So here is what I have to do: (maybe this will get me off the couch at night)
