One Month Later...
We've all done it before: We get so excited about trying new things and do really well, immersing ourselves and being all about it at first. Then you get busy... And everything you thought you were all down to do isn't so much fun anymore.
I am obviously very guilty. It's been a month since I've published anything and quite frankly, I'm a little disappointed in myself.
Let's try this again shall we? One of the things I've learned is that to commit to my goals, I need to come up with actual tangible action items for me to achieve that don't feel like such a chore.
When it comes to this blog, my goal is to post something at least once a week. (And no, this post does not count for this week). And then um... That's really it for this one. It may not sound like much, but it's definitely doable.
Now that I'm thinking about actionable items that will help me toward my goals: I'll just start listing it for the hell of it:
Fitness: Go to the gym at least 3x a week. This only really gets hard when I want to stay in bed, and since Mitchell has been starting work later, this is really difficult.
Hobbies: Right now, I'm trying to get myself to be a better reader and writer. I picked up this book with daily reading inspiration and tips about three years ago now and I figure I'd go ahead and crack it open to give it a try. I should really be reading a lot more too. I just cleaned my bookshelf and there's tons of books I have yet to read. Rule for me is no more buying books until I've read all the ones that I already have... Or at least attempted to read all the books I already have.
... I really don't want to over-commit so this will definitely do for now.
Expect something for me sometime this week! And if a new post doesn't come up, you all have full permission to scold me.
