Almost there!

Check out that shorter list! Almost all the goals are done, and the others are close to being done. I'm liking the shorter list idea.  This format seems to work better for me.  Shorter is more manageable, and by removing the items each week, I'm only left with the unfinished goals to focus on.  I tried doing it with the 101 goals as well, but the list that was left after removing the finished goals was still really long and intimidating.  By the end of it, I wasn't motivated to get anything done since I knew I wasn't going to complete them in full.  What was the point of trying?  But with the short list, it's so much easier to imagine accomplishing it. 

Work
1. get to work on time 2x per week (Poor showing this week, only 1 day met my criteria.  I think I need to re-jig this goal for next month, maybe start with a larger time window, and gradually reduce it.  I am the worst at getting up in the morning)

Fitness
2. be active at least 3x per week (Accomplished for this past week; I did my 2 regular activities as well as 2 others.  Look at me go - I'm exceeding my goals!)

Health
3. book juice cleanse (DONE!)

Personal
6. make plans with 2 friends I haven't seen in a long time (Done both!)


Condo
9. move more stuff to storage locker (DONE)

Craft
12. finish green tiger blanket (DONE)
13. start working on red sweater (I finished my current knitting project today, so next time I pick up needles it is going to be the sweater!  But I haven't actually done anything on it yet, so I can't mark this goal as done.  )
14. figure out pattern for frog pillow (I've been thinking about it, and thinking about colours to use, but have not settled on anything yet.  Some internet research might be needed before I make a final decision.)

Financial
15. make RRSP appointment (I decided to wait on this until I got an RRSP cheque I was expecting from work.  I got the cheque last week, now I can book an appointment.  My plan is to book it tomorrow.)
16. figure out a new budget (I have no excuse - I've just been lazy!)

Next blog post I'm going to try to come up with my November goals.  I'm going to have to try to keep the list short.  I find that I have a tendency to keep adding!
