Baby steps

I made some good progress, knocked off two more goals last weekend. I went and had a day at the spa, and then I went to the King Tut exhibition at the AGO the next day.

I'm finding that the one-time event goals are a lot easier to do than the multiple-event goals. It's easy to get behind. I think I may have been overly ambitious when I was setting the goals. I tried really hard to make them all reasonable, while still making it a challenge. I'm thinking it may be a bit more of a challenge than I expected! It's helping to make a mini-list each week, that way I'm breaking the goals down into more manageable pieces. I usually make a to do list, either for a day or a few days, so I've changed it to be a weekly list. Then I have two columns, one for general life things I need to get done, and a column for goal activities that I want to do that week. So far so good! I am also going through the notebook each week when I make the to do list, so I am not forgetting about any of them. Hopefully I can keep this up and make it a habit. Keeping a list of things that needs to be done is way easier than trying to keep everything in my head. Some things I want to do this week: go to the gym, mend something, draw something (I bought a sketch pad!), finish the square I'm working on and sew the ends in on others that I finished, do pushups, and donate a whole bunch of rice at freerice.com. Good luck to me!
