I have just started studying psychology this semester and have listened to a few of your podcasts. They have helped me immensely with my studies and understanding of concepts. Maybe you could come and teach in Sydney?Thank you for all the work that you have put into this site. Beatriz. Hi Michael,

I just checked out the website (http://www.tulsalibrary.org/). Very nice design and thanks for adding me to the list! You are correct that objectives typically do indeed address the smaller steps that one takes in pursuit of larger goals. Good distinction, because the only way to reach broad goals is to break them down into smaller objectives. Finally - yes, indeed - weight loss for many people (except my mother-in-law it seems) does get harder with age. I still struggle with it, which is why I did episode 83 (http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2009/01/13/episode-83-new-years-resolutions-to-lose-weight-why-so-hard-to-keep/). Thanks again Michael Ruth,

Psychfiles and Fitness Rocks podcasts get me through my exercise. I just added your Web site to the Psychology Subject Guide on tulslibrary.org. I do want to mention that there is a big difference between goals and ojectives. Goals=what you want to achieve, objectives are the steps you can take to get there. Congratulations on your weight loss. I thought I was one of the fortunate ones because I've always had to watch my weight. HA! It does get harder. Ruth Wiens Dr. Britt:
