Weekly Challenge

1 Comment

Last week I posted my first 4 goals. These are not goals related to ongoing housework such as washing or general tidying. They are mostly one-off things that I know I need to do. By breaking it down to 4 things per week and adding 4 more each week I have a better chance of achieving my goals. My Monday post each week will be a review of what I have managed to get done the previous week plus my new challenges. I decided on this strategy in order to get things done before we go on holidays – 22 weeks now.

1. Clean car inside and out -DONE
2. Finish making sandwich wraps for Miss O and Izz – DONE
3. Create a spreadsheet for future holiday packing needs
4. Make trackpants for Miss O and Izz – STARTED
5. Send emails to book accommodation for New Zealand trip
6. Buy and plant seedlings for winter vegetables
7. Email friend to arrange to meet for lunch
8. Finish knitting dishcloth and sew ends in on first two

This is not exhaustive, there are lots of other things that I do every day to make sure that our life is reasonably organised and runs smoothly. An example of things I did last week that were not on the list were buy and post books to a friend, drop botts in to be re-heeled, make hair appointment, have medical tests and contact medical specialist about test results. Today I need to collect Medicare refund, have haircut and pick boots from the repairer – all in a day’s work!

  1. Well done! I agree that this is a great way to achieve your goals. I try to do likewise, not quite so structured as your plan. For example, after you left my place yesterday, I made six meat meals, 4 bolognaise sauce and 2 rissoles and gravy, to put in the freezer for evenings when I need to be out by 6.30. Also made curried eggs for last night and then knitted the basques for the back, fronts and sleeves for Miss O’s cardigan. Not always this successsful in my plans, but at least I try.
