I'm a list person- I love making lists of chores, money, goals, anything- but I'm not big on the follow through. Since 2008 I have been making monthly goals at the beginning of the year, in '08 I had 3 goals a month- for the year it would probably be a high estimate to say that 10 of the 36 were accomplished. So they got put on the '09 list and then again on last years list. This year as I sat down to make my list Monique suggested I work in quarters instead of the whole year. So here is the Q1 list.
January ☐ Make it to work every day ON TIME
☐ Start (and complete) C25K
February ☐ Complete all my daily chores
☐ Be working out 4x a week
March ☐ Eat breakfast at home
☐ Swim 2x a week
I have some goals for the rest of the year done, okay, they are things I wanted to do in 2008 and, well, didn't. I have always wanted to run the Popcorn panic (5 miles in July) and the Valpo Triathlon (sprint distance in August). I guess by doing my list quarterly I will be able to course correct if I get side tracked. Next year I want to have all new goals, so I'm inviting you to follow along and hold me accountable as I journey. We'll get started on January's goals on Monday.
