Goal update

I'm loving my goals. They're helping me get a lot done. So here's my update:

Read 100 books this year --I've read 11 so far!

Index 10,000 names--I've done 100 but I'm right on track!

Finish my 200 projects by August 15--I'm still on 55 but I've been working on a big one that will count for quite a few!

Complete the $200 DMBA health challenge--So far I've done 1/12 of the current challenge and it just about killed me but I think I'll keep on trying.

Post on my blog once a week--Here's my posts for this week and last week.

Write in my journal at least 5 days a week--This one has been harder but I got 2 days in this week which is an improvement over before.

Finish reading the Book of Mormon by February--I think I'll get this one done by the end of February. I'm toward the end of Alma.

Get A's on all the beginning level songs on DDR--I've done all the songs but 1 in the first DDR. The last one may take me a while. It is really hard and doesn't even sound like music to me.

Make bags and organize our toys--nothing

And the hardest of all, try to be nice to my kids and have fun with them--Well, I have been letting the girls play DDR with me which has been hilarious. Those girls can ROCK! So that's something new.

I made myself a little spreadsheet with all the things I'd like to do every day on it and I check things off as I go. I never get everything, but I don't focus on that. I just focus on getting something done. It also helps me focus and pick things to do when I have some free time. It really makes me feel good and productive. Life is good.

I love it! You truly inspire me to be productive. And 11 books already?!? Wow! Way to go!

Yea, 11 books but 4 of them were less than 100 pages, but they were some of the best I've read (The Sarah, Plain and Tall series) and I spend about half of each day in a chair feeding my baby. It gives a lot of reading time.
