So, here are my goals from last month and the progress updates for each:
Keep up in Proverbs & Psalms reading with my friend - Same friend, same stuff. - Fail.
Inventory pantry.- Success! Although, Robert technically did it, and he deserves all the credit!!
Make bed daily. - Epic fail.
Get to bed 10 minutes earlier than usual. - Overall a great success. :) Missed a few days due to the holiday, though.
Keep up with FlyLady. - Not. Even. Once.
One organizational task per day; not five. - Zero would have been a better number to choose...
60 items in my shop by Dec. 10th. - Not yet complete.
Meal planning every Sunday. - Another epic failure.
Don't clean before company. (Except Thursdays - Thursdays are laundry/ vacuuming days AND Ladies' Bible Study meets here). - Marked improvement, which I consider a success.
Try to eat on schedule; not randomly. - This is nearly impossible with Hypoglycemia.
Keep Information Area at church tidy and up-to-date (this is one of my newest jurisdictions outside the home).- Success! Although I sadly found the coupon drop box full of garbage and books a couple weeks ago, I fixed it and it hasn't happened again!
Overall, I think the last month didn't go as badly as I anticipated when I sat down to blog tonight.
We had several set-backs this past month, simply due to set-backs in life. Changes at work, changes with friends, and plenty of random curveballs otherwise.
Generally speaking, I have been tired this month. Really, really, uncharacteristically tired. Some of it is probably stress, and a lot of it - I think - is that I'm lacking alone time. Whenever I get it, I'm too tired to do anything but sleep. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining! I'm just needing to try to fix that situation.
My daily reading was an epic failure. But Shelley & I are going to give it another go, with more enthusiasm this month.
My goals for December are as follows:
Get all decorations up & finished by Sunday, Dec. 4th
All Christmas gift-making done by Dec. 20th (includes wrapping)
Make all wrapping paper & bows this year
Stay on track with my calendars, schedules and day planner
Keep sheets ironed on regular schedule
Do a better job of organizing the kitchen now that the pantry in the garage is done
Dust some baseboards (leaving this one open-ended)
Contribute more to the family income (since it's already happening)
Stop dwelling on negative comments, thoughts or actions
Get more into eBay selling again
Dust on a regular basis instead of when I feel like it
Keep up on vacuuming
Try not to get bogged down with things that don't matter
Draw the picture I've been wanting to draw for years and finally get it done, framed and in the house
Stay current on our budget and savings plan (we've been achieving great goals, and have reaped excellent rewards so far!)
Seek wise counsel when I need it
Find a way to encourage one person every day this month
Be 5 minutes earlier to everything
Find a reason to remember what this season is really about every day
Work on what Auntie told me to :)
That's a lot for the month. But I think if I truly am committed, I can do it.
What are your goals this month?
