Whew! Last week was a blur of craziness – hopefully I can slow things down a bit this week. Even with a busy week, I still accomplished quite a bit:
Last Week’s Goals
Business
Complete 2 items from my master list each day – I did this most days, but not every – some days the “fires” just got me off course!
Two hours education – done!
Schedule May blog posts and Social Media posts – got started, but my system crashed and I never got back to finish!
Personal
Get up by 6:30 every day – 3 out of 5 – and Friday was pathetic . . .
Stretch daily (here is why this is so important!) – done, and felt GREAT!
Take a break for lunch every day (and do something enjoyable) – I did a good job of this – most days I just ate lunch downstairs (instead of at my desk) and then read for fifteen minutes or something relaxing like that, but one day I actually left the house and ran a few errands. Regardless of what I did, the days I took at least thirty minutes away from work were much more productive and enjoyable – I’ll definitely be keeping this practice up!
Tackle my most dreaded task FIRST each day – 4 out of 5 – and makes SUCH a difference in the day
Family
Special time with each kid – my son and I did a craft together one night, and my daughter and I had a Starbuck’s date one evening
Get prepared for May Birthdays – done, not that many so this was actually pretty easy 🙂
Household
Spring Break Photo Book – downloaded pictures, so a start I guess!
Back on track with cleaning schedule – pretty close again – definitely doing a better job of maintaining a “decent” house – with two busy kids I can’t expect perfection!
Enjoy Frappucino “Happy Hour” with my kids one day for an after school surprise
Household
Spend at least 2 hours cleaning the basement
Create something (photo book or collage) with the pictures from my daughter’s Birthday, finish Spring Break album
Go through kids upstairs bookshelves and edit as needed
What are your big goals for the week? Interested in a few easy changes you can make to improve your health – check out my Small Changes= Big Results series (which continues this week) for ideas – it’s free and fun! Pick a few and add them to your goal list!
I have found that tackling the worst task is very helpful as well. I loved “Eat That Frog” and all of the points he had to help with getting things done! 🙂 Enjoy the time with your kids during your “Happy Hour!”
Thanks Jenny – I do love that book too. My daughter actually talked me into Starbucks after school this week, so with their half priced frappucino’s this week, we may even make it twice!
