goals for the week of 12/2

I didn’t do as well as I was hoping on my goals for last week — I think I underestimated how much time finishing up and submitting my online applications would take! But I was happy with how I was able to prioritize and get the most important/pressing things done. The rest are moved forward as goals for this upcoming week! Here’s how I did:

    • get up to page 210 of my thesis
    • submit online applications
    • finish reading The Happiness Project for PBF Book Club
    • wrap & mail Christmas presents
    • order Christmas cards
    • send Mike’s mom flowers as a thank-you for hosting us over Thanksgiving
    • use Groupons for Nature’s Pharm & Re-Usables
    • return items to Target
    • take donation box to Goodwill
    • get new windshield wipers installed on car
    • wash kitchen & bathroom floors
    • bake blueberry-oatmeal muffins

And here are my goals for this upcoming week:

  • complete rough draft of thesis manuscript and submit to my advisor (!! this is a big one!!)
  • finish reading This is Not Your City by Caitlin Horrocks
  • wrap & mail Christmas presents
  • use Groupons for Nature’s Pharm & Re-Usables
  • return items to Amazon
  • take donation box to Goodwill
  • get new windshield wipers installed on car
  • wash kitchen & bathroom floors
  • use or freeze all perishable food items before Mike & I leave for California on Saturday

goals for the week of 11/18

Hi everyone! Welcome to our new domain name, daybydaymasterpiece.com! I’m so excited and am delighted to have you join us. Thanks for taking the time to stop by! 🙂

As I mentioned in my earlier post, something I want to start doing on here is posting some goals at the beginning of each week that I’ll be focusing on that week. {I got this idea from Crystal Paine, the Money-Saving Mom, whose goals always inspire me at the beginning of every week when she posts them on her blog.} I’m hoping you will be inspired to share your goals, too, and in this way the blog can become a goal-setting community of encouragement and motivation!

Here are my goals for this week:

  • get up to 200 pages written of my thesis
  • start reading The Happiness Project for PBF Book Club
  • write Thanksgiving cards for loved ones
  • clean bathroom & vacuum
  • finish grading student work
  • enjoy time with Mike’s family
  • finish knitting scarf for Mike during car ride
  • post announcement for winter writing camp
