Weekly Goals: Week of 6/21/10

Here is this week’s goals…  ( my recap of last week’s goals is here.)

Going to try and work this keeping in mind that kids will be in camp for 2 hours in the morning – and I will driving to-from during this time.   Too many goals in one week creates too many things not accomplished and a horrible feeling at the end of the week.  Not going to do that to myself. 🙂

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…
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Start putting together my July DSO challenge which includes picking the Ad (going to be running an Ad challenge) and creating a freebie.
  • 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.

Personal Goals

  • Stay on track with my cool running – M-W-F
  • Do 30 minutes of aerobic walking on T-Th (going to keep this here – we’ll see how this one goes)
  • Clean something every day for 30 minutes.
  • 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.

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.

… and I said that I was going to go light… LOL!  There is always so much I want to do.  But I seriously think having some goals and trying to accomplish them every week is a great thing for me personally.  I’m definitely one of those “make a list and cross things off” people.  I find myself feeling so much better about life in general when I feel a little sense of accomplishment day to day.  But I’m also learning not to stress myself out if I don’t reach all my goals for the week.  I am trying to use these goals to help me feel good about myself and the direction my life is heading.

Wishing, hoping, pouting isn’t going to get me where I want to be.  And I’m learning that where I want to be isn’t a set destination but more a journey towards every day happiness.

I leave you with this week’s quote…

Have a great week!
