This was my goal list for last week…
Business Goals
- Design time – hoping to design 6 hours this week. 🙂 That might be 3 days of 2 hours… or one day of 6 hours…
NO. I didn’t design at all this past week. The camp schedule has shot my mornings completely. I ended up focusing on getting my design blog knocked out. So I did accomplish something just not any new designing. - I have some papers already done in a new palette and would like to get some elements together so I can release a mini-page kit.
NO. I didn’t get to this either. But after hearing about Bunny’s LIVE interview this coming Friday, I may end up giving these papers away as a freebie and then put some coordinating elements in the store. Not sure yet. - Work on my design blog some. Don’t think I’ll have a design done…. but if I can get a rough format together with all the plugins and basic theme, I’ll be happy.
DONE. I wasn’t planning on focusing entirely on this project but it just happened. I ended up spending most of yesterday tweaking and moving/editing Libracorn posts to my new design blog. So this is actually finished and where I spent a good chunk of my “work” time this week. I probably spent 20 some hours total working on the blog this week. Got on a roll and went with it. I could have taken an easier route and went with blogger or something like that. But I actually do like working with wordpress and getting into the code. - Start putting together my July DSO challenge which includes picking the Ad (going to be running an Ad challenge) and creating a freebie.
NO. This will be moved to this week. I have to get this done this week as the Challenge starts Friday. LOL! - Extra goal – I see this as an added bonus – a would be nice if I could get this in goal. Create a July 4th palette and design/stock a mini page kit.
ROFLOL…. Let’s just say that…
Personal Goals
- Stay on track with my cool running – M-W-F
DONE. Still on track. woo hoo! - Do 30 minutes of aerobic walking on T-Th (going to keep this here – we’ll see how this one goes)
SORT OF. I walked on Tuesday and then made the decision to not walk on these days as my shins were starting to bother me. I didn’t want to push them too hard so that I couldn’t do the running days. So I’m removing this from my goals for now. - Clean something every day for 30 minutes.
SORT OF. I did this for 2 of the days this past week (30 min cleaning spurts). The main cleaning this week was Jess’s room. I spent an entire afternoon cleaning her room on Thursday (or maybe it was Wed). So I feel like I did actually accomplish this goal just in a round about way. Getting Jess’s room under control was a big project. Eventually I might get into Dan’s room. - Extra goal – start building a regular routine. A lot of my goals are actually repeat goals – like the fitness and cleaning… so ultimately I’m looking at creating a pattern with that.
DONE. Starting to find a pattern to my days. Still working towards that balance.
MAIN GOAL – Keep my focus when I’m in “work mode”. I think this was a problem for me last week. Got caught up in other things when I had my work time and did not get reach most of my business goals.
I think I did stay focused when I was in work mode… just not on designing. I basically put everything into getting my design blog up and running. I also put up a Facebook fan page and tied it into my design blog which took some time. I feel like I have built a decent infrastructure (store, blog, facebook page) and will start putting my main focus on designing again.
Overall I did have a productive week… just not balanced. My focus was on big projects and I was able to get them out of the way. I feel good about that. 🙂
