+ If one of these is absolutely no longer desired, I have the right to remove it as long as I can explain my reasoning and that I replace it with another goal to be completed by February 27, 2011.
+ If money prevents me from completing any task, I have 2 months after February 27, 2011 to complete that/those task(s).
