write it down!

thanks to my boyfriend’s mom. It helps.

and think I’m about as good as I’m going to get. I’m calling this one done.

yesterday I learned the hard way about not doing this goal. I am out-of-town this weekend, and I just didn’t have the time to do the normal packing list I’d do. Well I left two things last night that I discovered when I got in. One thing I can borrow from my mother…the other thing sent me off to Wal-Mart at 12:15 a.m.! (Not what I’d planned on doing after having been up for so long.)

• Cleaning
  
  • Dishes
  • Garbage taken out

5. Load of laundry (procrastinated)
6. Make packing list (deleted)
7. Find out where my bank is in the town I’ll be going to.
8. Write out packing list so I don’t leave anything. (deleted)
9. Make notebook for goal documentation. (procrastinated)
10. Load car
11. Dinner
12. Take medicine
13. Get ready for bed and actually make it on time tonight, because I won’t grant myself an exception tonight. (I couldn’t do anything any more I was so tired, so I went to bed sometime in the 8 o’clock hour and slept for over an hour.)
14. Clean up kitchen. (procrastinated)
15. Take garbage out.

from Friday afternoon until sometime on Monday…I need to come up with a way to write out my progress with these goals. My list is one way of “write it down!” that works. So, I need to get a notebook to document progress with these goals so I don’t forget anything. I’ve got to do this to stay organized.

• Finish packing
• Get directions printed out for hotel.
• Do a little sight-seeing research and get it printed out.
• Get restaurant information my co-worker and I were interested in printed out.
• Pack some stuff to take with me for entertainment purposes (I’ll have some time free in the evening on Tuesday.)
• Make sure my VCR is properly set and connected so that if I don’t have the opportunity to watch 24, I will have it taped.
• Do timesheets for Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
• Post Emergency Procedure Notice on office door about what to do in my abscence.
• Remember to take cooler with me.
• Remember to turn in time sheets.
• Sleep some!
• Car cleaning

Is there anything else anyone thinks I may have forgotten. My brain was shot before this weekend even began!

I’m going to check it off!

I’ve written down stuff more than I normally would this past week. I don’t think I’ll check this off until this becomes an automatic thing for me to do, though.

One of my friends had a miscarriage today, and I really need to send her a card. So, maybe I’ll see this tomorrow and do this. I’m emotionally tired today, and don’t think I can handle writing it tonight.
