10 Goals for this Week

Have you set some goals? How did you do?

I find that writing down what I hope to accomplish makes a huge difference in whether or not it gets done. It doesn't always work (as you will see if you check out how I did this week), but I'm sure it's better than not setting any goals at all

Here's how I did on my 10 goals for last week:

Personal

1. Get 8 hours of sleep per night While I sort of fell off the bandwagon on this one, I do have a plan for accomplishing this in the future.
2. Exercise for 30 minutes on a treadmill 3 times this week (after not exercising for quite some time, I am just getting back to it) Not quite. I made it to the gym twice.
3. Finish listening to 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think.  This is my second time through the book and I am taking notes on some specific actions I would like to take. Done.
4. Wardrobe Update: Create 1 new outfit using pieces I already own (shopping in my closet). Done.

Home Management

1. Freezer cooking: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Didn't get to this.
2. Freezer cooking: Chocolate Banana Bread Didn't get to this one.
3. Try a new soup recipe: Curry Corn Chowder Done. Check out the results here.
4. Declutter and organize one area per day Maybe one area per week is more reasonable.
5. DIY Project: Homemade laundry stain remover Done. Read about it here.
6. DIY Project: Homemade microwave popcorn Done. Read about it here.
