Goals, experience, plans and thoughts about each.

In order to keep this organized I will break it down into components.

Goals:
Often I wonder about what I want to accomplish in life. For the longest time it was completing college. That need for a degree so I could move forward, without the thought of what that really meant. What's next? I have ideas that have always appealed to me such as returning to Europe but I don't know how feasible that is, or if I care to pursue it any longer. Back to the crux of the issue, what do I need and what do I want?

Experience:
In the field of my profession I am in a constant state of worry over my own ability and decisions. My biggest frustration is that I don't have a mentor. I feel as my decisions at work are based on sound logic but I hate making mistakes and wasting time but those are bound to happen when you push your own knowledge or ability. What can I do to make my work better? to make better decisions? What information should I put my energy into to make me more valuable, hireable and skilled?

Plans:
The best things I feel I can do right now are to reduce my debt, increase my professional value, and keep my eyes open for other opportunities. I think I would love to end up in San Francisco, or even just the Boston area and be involved with a larger company doing more influential things. I want to focus on mobile apps, and do some research on broadening the offerings of Impulse. The real challenge is time. I think it's time to make a list, a schedule, and budget, and solidify my goals.
