The Skinny Farmer

By Skinny Farmer Goals are good.  Goals can motivate.  Goals help measure success. Everybody knows that. But not me.  Skinny Farmer has discovered that goals can be bad, too.  Goals can hinder.  And goals can give a false reading of where one is with regard to success. Say what? You are probably wondering right now if Skinny Farmer has spent a little too much time in the hot sun. I assure you that I haven't.  Goals aren't all they are cracked up to be.

What do I need to do to improve my sleep? There are some fundamental things that, at least for me, have made a big difference. I'll list some of them and then tell you where I screwed up.

Our generation is living longer than previous generations. The BIG question is are we living better? Thoughts to ponder. One small change in the right direction is the start of a new and better life. The hardest thing often is just getting started. And..... guess what - It's all in your head! So get in your head, join the conversati...
