The last time I made a list was in June and in that post I said I was going to try a few different things and basically change the way I complete (or don't complete) my monthly goal lists. All good in theory. The problem was that I had a lot going on this summer and I didn't keep up with my goal lists. Also, other things.
In June I talked about not making attainable goals. For instance, I'm in a very committed relationship with my snooze button and it is something I know I really, really need to work on. However, one month I made one of my goals to not use my snooze button at all for the entire month. That was never going to happen. I failed before I even started. This same situation happened a lot with my workout goals too. I'm losing and gaining the same 5-10lbs over and over and over again.
To be honest with you, I haven't figured out how I'm going to keep myself motivated this month yet. Add that to my goal list - Figure out how to keep myself motivated. Anyway, I did make a September goal list on Monday and here it is!
Be Spontaneous
Pay it forward
Organize email inbox - a constant work in progress
Practice my calligraphy at least twice this month
Fall cleaning of my apartment - priority
Make it to the gym at least 3x a week - aim low
Go on a long walk at least once a week - aim low
No pressing snooze longer than 20 min.
Read 1 book - minimum.
Prepare for Part 1
Schedule Part 1
Clean my car
Get my hair cut - and my eyebrows, oh man my eyebrows are rough!
That's all for now! Anyone else making goals? I saw a ton of goal posts yesterday! I love it!
Great goals! I read "snooze" as "sneeze" at first and was like...whaaaaa?
ReplyDeleteSuch good goals! Good luck!

fall cleaning of everything! I'm right there with ya. You can do it!!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great goals & ones that could easily be reached. I too need to stop hitting the snooze button & get my butt outta bed. I should probably start taking my youngest to the bus stop so have no choice but to get my butt outta bed. Ha!
