Daily Objectives

I have started to read Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul David Trip and one of the first things that caught my thoughts was a question that he asked "What is your reason for getting up in the morning?" (Before I get into things too much, I should explain that my mind works a little bit differently then normal people and I tend to go off on rabbit trails where it is difficult to track how I got where I did, but just bare with me) Well, my first thoughts after reading that was just my normal reaction to when my alarm goes off. I push the snooze :) and well after doing that for a while, I once in a while think about the different tasks and schedules that I have to do for the day, but usually I just get up and go about my normal routine.
My thoughts then very quickly switched to think that I do not have a specific purpose that I tell my self everyday. Well if I do have a purpose it is usually for minuscule tasks. But then I just stopped and thought about my life and what it's full purpose is. What am I really living each day for? If you would ask me what is my goal in life, I would give the answer to honor and glorify my Lord. But now I am asking about a daily goal. Okay, just graduating from college my mind goes to writing papers. Have you ever tried to write a paper without having a specific thesis and outline?? Well, I have and guess what, it did not work out very well because my thoughts were so scattered (like this post) that everything is said was good, but it did not have a purpose, so it was a bad paper. Having graduated as an education major I think about objectives. I never really saw the need for objectives until I was actually in the classroom. Now, I cannot teach a lesson without first writing out my objectives, so that I know that I have taught what I needed to. Having the objectives makes each lesson worthwhile.
Do you have a daily objective? I want my life to count for something. I want to be able at the end of a day look back and see how I was able to grow. My life will be very selfish if I always look back at the end of the day and see what I did for me. I want to be able to look back and see what I have done for Christ. I was shocked when I thought about how much time I spent on myself and how little time I spent for my Lord. I am going to daily set some objectives and then at the end of the day assess them and see what I have accomplished. Maybe you could write out some too.
