So one of my favorite things to do now is read other peoples blogs. It makes me feel like I am actually still attached to the world and that there are other real people that feel just as un-attached from the world as I do!! So a few weeks ago I happened on to a blog called “Happily a Homemaker“. What a great find!! She is so super down to earth and reminds me a lot of ME – the ME I want to be!! So I talked with her a bit and then decided (because it isn’t creepy at all) to literally copy and paste her blog and then re-word it to fit me – from the logo down. She really motivated me to start putting my goals online so I am held accountable!! Just thinking about how silly I will look if I say I’m going to do a bunch of stuff and then only getting one or two things done…ugh! Besides, it is Anti-Procrastination Day and if I put this off to wait until Sunday – it is inevitable that something will come up Sunday and I won’t get started then either! Story. Of. My. Life. So here it is – my goals for the week – starting on Wednesday. 🙂 Go me!
Here were the goals for last week and how I did on them: (Ok – so since this is my first Weekly Goals post – clearly this section will be a tiny bit lacking.
~ Habit of the Month {October: Paper Clutter} {November: Menu Planning} :
~ Read daily :
~ Blog :
~ Health :
~ Household :
~ Family :
~ Friends :.
~ Usborne :
~ Avon :
~ Office :
~ Self :
And these are my goals for this week — I’m going to start with 11 and see where that takes me.
~ Habit of the Month :{October: Paper Clutter} {November: Menu Planning} So this week there are only 2 days left of October. So I plan to spend at least 15 minutes both days on clearing the clutter out of my office area – starting with my desk. Friday will start the new month with Menu Planning. That is tough for me because all of my family members are on a completely different schedule – so I’m excited about making this challenge. I plan to spend 15 minutes on both Friday and Saturday planning a menu. First stop – Breakfast.
~ Read daily :I am currently reading ‘The Read~Aloud Handbook‘ by Jim Trelease. I will read this at least 15 minutes a day. If I happen to finish it I’ll go back and re-read my highlighted sections. And I am going to look more into starting up a book club with my girlfriends.
~ Blog daily :Even if it is just a thought of the day – I will blog every day in November.
~ Health :I will find 25 minutes at least 4 times this week to do my step aerobics video. I burn 212 calories every time I do it! I also plan to hit my goal weight this week to get closer to wining the DietBet I am doing for the Shayloss program! I am only a pound and a half away! There is still time to join the challenge if you are interested! Just click on Shayloss and get started today!
~ Household :I would like to do a load of laundry every day. Wash, Dry, Fold & Put Away. I am currently working on getting the Big Kid and the Mini Me to do their own laundry. So on their days I won’t do the laundry but I’ll make sure they do.
~ Family :I need to make Little Man’s appointment for his 2 year check up and I need to make an appointment for the Big Kid and the Mini Me for their annual eye exams.
~ Friends :I want to text or PM on FB a different friend everyday that I haven’t talked to in over a month – just to say Hi and wish them a great day! I also want to send someone a card in the mail this week.
~ Usborne :I need to make a list of possible charities to benefit from my event in November. I also need to contact 5 daycares every day. I need to do 5 Customer Care Calls at least 3 times this week. I also need to do one YouTube video of the book I choose for the Book of the Week.
~ Avon :I need to make a final decision if I am going to continue on this journey or let it go and focus on other priorities.
~ Office :I will do some email cleanup on each account I have for 5 minutes each every day. That means reading, deleting, responding, etc.
~ Self :I am going to contact the massage parlor in my town and ask about the 1 hr massage for $30 special I heard about. I will do a painting class this Sunday.
And that is that. 🙂
Whoo Hooo!! Rock on! Great goals! Good luck to you and can’t wait to hear all about it!
Well the first week didn’t go quite as planned…lol. Then again Rome wasn’t built in a day! 😉
Very true! I’ve found it’s always more important to just keep trying!
Yes ma’am!! And I will! 🙂
I like your goals…but geesh, that’s ALOT to take on in such a tiny amount of time:). I’d like to know how it turns out if you don’t mind?! I think you may just become my hero! 🙂
Well Tia – I think you might have been right!! It was a lot to take on – but they are all important things to me. I didn’t get anywhere near what I wanted to get done. However, I learned a few lessons and plan to try again this week. About to go post my goals for this week. 🙂
Nice work!
Girl, if you knew how un-together I am on a daily basis! 😀 We’re all just a work in progress! And I think you’ve made some great goals here… I’m excited to see how you do with them all!
I’m embarrassed to admit I got a whole lot of nothing done this week!! I had so much going on! I need to work on time management for sure!! Take 2 coming tonight!! 🙂
Write those goals down on paper and keep them front and center! That does seem to help me. Otherwise it’s out of sight, out of mind!
Good point!! I’ll definitely do that!! 🙂
