I have yet to meet my 30 point goal. During the first round I never got around to setting one, because I couldn't think of anything. Isn't that silly! After I read what some of you were doing I realized it didn't have to be health related. So I thought of a goal for the second round that I really wanted to accomplish, because I've always wanted to make it a habit: say my morning prayers every day. Well, that turned out to be too hard. It's not hard to say your prayers, but it is hard to remember to do it everyday, especially for someone like me who is 'memory challenged.' One little mistake and my 30 points flew right out the window.
This round, I'm going to be smart. I noticed that many of you had task-based goals, like I will finish this household project, or I will iron all the clothes. I think a task would be a good idea for me. I could get some touch-up painting done. I could organize the storage room (YIKES!) I could find a landscaper. I could research and purchase air conditioning units. I would be doing all those things though, even if I wasn't on this blog. I think it needs to be something more. I thought about finally making the time to go redeem that pedi gift certificate Emily gave me for Christmas, but that seems a too indulgent. Hmmm, this requires more thought.
What is your 30 point goal?
Reading Scriptures every night to meet our goal of reading the entire triple combination before the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteMy goal last time was reading a chapter of the Book of Mormon every night with my teenage dauther and then discussing it. Turned out to be a great experience and one that I have continued. It is sometimes hard to get some time in with a teenager so having that extra time at night to chat about the scriptures has been wonderful. There were several nights of eye rolling, on her part of course, and huffing and puffing, again all her :),but it always ended up good in the end. My goal this go around is to start working on the Personal Progress program. I figured since Christina is almost halfway done it would be a good time for me to start up.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for the first challenge was to prime and paint two bookshelves. Last time it was to make 8 phone calls. This time....hmmm....I'm with you, a bit stumped. It will come to us soon, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI have decided to work on saying POSITIVE things to my husband and children. My goal is to give at least 5 sincere compliments to each one everyday. Yesterday was my first day and I did it but it was amazing how much easier it is for me to say negative. I had to be really aware of what I was saying. This is definitely going to be a good challenge for me.
ReplyDeleteI am a horrible procrastinator and I've had a particularly hard time completing tasks for my photography business since I essentially quit working almost 2 years ago. I still shoot occasionally, but I'm out of the habit of turning things around in a timely fashion. My goal this time around is to retouch and print all the reprints from the high school prom I photographed a month ago.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's anything wrong with making your goal a task that you need to get done anyway. I'm an advisor in Young Womens and with the Personal Progress program the leaders are always stressing to the girls that they need to take credit for things they are already involved in, like sports or the school play. It's good to have the extra incentive to get things done that you might otherwise be tempted to blow off.
