Just when I give up on a goal, it all turns around. I thought that there was no way that I could get the shed in Tobermory replaced by next May. But, surprisingly, this last weekend things changed. It is now contracted to be replaced, so I get to count it as done. Maybe I should start writing off other goals!
I've been trying to think of other ways to stay on top of goals. Right now I'm toying with a goal-jar idea. I'm thinking that if I write out some of the smaller goals on little pieces of paper, and break down bigger goals into smaller chunks, I can fill a jar pretty easily. Then when I have some free time I can pull a goal-paper from the jar, and whatever it is, I have to complete it. That way I don't have to think about it and if I don't have a lot of time I can keep moving forward. So now I need to find a jar!
Right now I'm working on my freerice goal, trying to catch up a bit with that one. I'm making some progress, and learning some new words. I'm also currently reading 'The Merry Wives of Windsor', to make progress on my Shakespeare goal. I am so glad that the plays come with footnotes, old English can be quite confusing. And I'm making my way through a 'closet clean'. Instead of doing everything at once, I'm doing it by sections. So far I've only done 2 drawers, but I'm also not feeling frustrated about the process, or overwhelmed by everything that I have to go through. Since I'm planning on moving sometime soon, now seemed like a good time to finish off that goal.
