Review Goals Weekly

have people over: I made this into a new challenge goal with a new deadline this week, because the meeting at my house was re-scheduled from April to May. Part of accomplishing this is doing my Flylady missions next week.

track all expenses each day of March I still would like to do this. Have a stack of receipts and bills to work from.

track all expenses each day of February Ditto.

Each morning write down 3 goals for Today: I managed to do this Tuesday through Friday. All during April I’m planning to focus on practicing my 2 new daily habits of (1) opening the mail, and (2) tracking expenses for April.

Have a place for everything and keep everything in its place: This is a new goal as of this week. I found a place for my mail this week. Keep putting my mail in it’s place every day next week.

Clear the Deck: The decks on my kitchen counter and on my office floor are starting to look a little clearer. Maybe all these babysteps are starting to add up.

Keep on paying my bills on time: I’ve got my current bills all together at the start of this month. I want to pay all my bills in the coming week. I’m also working on a monthly checklist to put into my flylady control journal to remind me to pay all my bills each month.

Do the Flylady daily missions: I really want to work on this in the coming week.

keep in touch with family: My mother’s birthday is this week. I need to work on this in the coming week.

Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I’m grateful Made entries on Sun., Mon., Wed., Thur., and Sat. in the past week. That feels pretty good.

practice mindfulness : Made 1 entry today under this goal.

Embrace impermanence : Made an entry here about attending a funeral last week.

Stick to my goals: I hope reviewing my goals will help me stick to my goals.

give a gazillion cheers : made an entry here to celebrate giving over 4000 cheers.

give myself a pep talk : I’ve given myself 3 pep talks in the past week. They seem to help sometimes.

celebrate taking baby steps when anything bigger feels daunting : I’ve done this twice in the past week.

Review Goals Weekly: I’m doing this right now.

Shamelessly ask my 43 friends to help support and sponsor Segsy in the 2008 Take Steps for Crohn’s and Colitis Walk.: Maybe I myself can make a contribution after I get my bills paid next week and see how much money I have left.

I am finally getting into the habit of looking at my goals, at least at work. I am still working on setting goals for myself personally. Getting a reminder to look at them regularly helps.

This week I made some progress with a new goal, “Do Flylady Missions”.

And I did better on an old goal, “Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I’m grateful”.

And I completed my goal to “track all expenses for each week of January”, and I edited an older goal to create “track all expenses for each week of February”.

Next week I want to continue with Flylady and Daily Gratitude, and also focus on bill-paying and expense tracking. My progress will depend on how well I’m feeling, since I still am sick with shingles, so I’ll have to not forget “Take care of myself”.

...just attempting to read through all these goals and think about what I can do next to further them along. Think I need to take a break. But at least I’ve made a start at reviewing my goals.

I’m not sure how to go about doing this weekly goal review. It seems like it might be a good idea to map out my committments for the coming week, then look at what blocks of free time I have, and then pencil in some appointments for myself to work on some of my goals.

^{This all sounds good but I don’t know that I can actually do it.}

Well, maybe not every week.

When I’m busy, I review the goals less often.

When I’m stressed or have time, I review them more often.

But no need to keep this on my list – it’s become fairly automatic.

Ciao!

before I go sleepy-byes. But, I really wanted to write this tonight (well, I also really wanted to procrastinate; ah, the joys of 43Things!)

Basically, I’d like to totally revamp my list before the end of January. While I do want to visit my cousins the orangutans in Borneo and I very, very much want to see euthanasia legalized, I think I’ll have to strike these long-term goals because in 2008 I hope to use 43Things more for those things that I want to work on during this calendar year. My character tends to err on the side of dreaminess, which can be wonderful, but I want to rein in that quality a bit during the upcoming months and focus on getting some stuff done.

I think it will be a fascinating, if at times gruelling, exercise for me to work on my “doing muscles” when it feels as though my “dreaming muscles” are much more well-developed.

So, watch for major changes in this list over the next weeks…

As well as being the end of the calendar year. I’d like to think about my goals for the next 12 months and give myself a figurative kick in the pants. I hope that reviewing these goals will help me stay on track.

and re-ordered my list a bit. Feels good to keep things fluid.

“ignore Paris Hilton” because I’d received 70 cheers on it and I figured I’d spread the word enough. Also, ignoring that useless excuse for a human is something I do now automatically, without even having to think about it. So, I figure it no longer has to be a goal. YAY.
