About a week or so ago I sat down and wrote out some major quests I wanted to accomplish in 2014. Then I wrote out specific goals to help me accomplish those quests. Today is my first post to track my progress. I will break these down a bit differently for tracking purposes.
Daily Goals:
Daily Goals:
- Shine the sink every night before going to bed.
- Swish and swipe my bathroom daily (hair off the floor too).
- Swish and swipe Gary's bathroom on even days.
- Do one load of laundry daily, including drying, folding and putting it away.
- Clean off the hot spots.
- Deal with the mail every day.
- Read 30 minutes daily from a non-fiction book.
- Drink water and plenty of it
- Contact A.J. and Daniel at least once a week.
- Blog once a week, even if it is just a partial blog that needs more work before it is posted.
- Once a week, update the orange notebook with money spent during the previous week.
- Get your online Reading Comprehension class DONE! Do at least two lessons a week.
- Get the Reading Buddy lessons done. One lesson complete per week starting Jan. 6th.
- Eat to be healthy, eat Primal 80% of the time, but make some conscious choices to enjoy the foods you don't typically eat.
- Prepare one new recipe weekly and post it on your blog.
- Do a 15 minute (minimum) Yoga workout at least 3 times weekly.
- Running: Keep running in your fat-burning zone (HR 126-135). One run per week can be at a comfortable pace.
- Have a "date" two times a month with Gary. One time I plan/one time he plans.
- Send two cards to friends or family monthly.
- Call two people monthly just to say hi.
- Scrapbook once a month.
- Rubberstamp once a month.
- Work on a "you've been putting it off" project once a month.
- Set up a "Rewards" account ($20 monthly). Rewards can only be purchased if earned and if there is money for them.
- Apply Quality Matters to your online Reading Comprehension class. Due date August 1, 2014.
- Develop a Reading Buddies class.
- Develop a combined Reading Comp/General Studies course class.
- Complete your first Nerd Fitness Challenge starting Jan. 6th. Continue to level up my fitness by doing the challenges throughout the year (complete at least 4 NF Challenges in 2014).
- Complete at least the first level of the Dumbbell Workouts (Beta version) in Nerd Fitness Academy.
Daily Goals
- I pretty much nailed these except reading from a non-fiction book 30 minutes daily. However, I spent a great deal of time reading through educational information as I was prepping my Intro. to Education materials.
- I am VERY PROUD of the fact that I shined my kitchen sink every night except Friday when I went to bed super early (6:00PM) because I wasn't feeling well. Shining my kitchen sink means washing ALL the dishes and cleaning off ALL the kitchen counters. Preparing meals is much easier when you are starting with a clean area.
- As I was focusing on completing all these daily goals I kept thinking about what is going to happen when I get super busy, because it is going to happen, and I don't get some of them done. I came up with a plan, NEVER SKIP A DAILY GOAL TWO DAYS IN A ROW!
- I didn't do as well with the weekly goals as I did the daily.
- I did not get any online Reading Comp. lessons done, but the class got cancelled so it wasn't a priority.
- I didn't get a Reading Buddies lesson planned.
- I need to write my work goals down at work somewhere so they are visible. I have all my goals written out at home on a board that I look at several times a day. I need to do the same thing at work, it will keep me more on track.
- I only did 2 yoga workouts (one of them 30 minutes long) instead of 3.
- I didn't run at all, as a matter of fact after Monday of last week I didn't do any of my regular workouts because I was staying up too late working on teacher stuff. Last week was an exception, exercise is a part of who I am, ignoring it completely doesn't happen often.
