All I can say is that I'm off to a reasonably-good start by posting my weekly goals on the day that they're supposed to be posted. Go to my last entry to see what I'm up to: My goals for this week are to — at the very least — do all of my goal progress-reporting on time so that one entry appears today (and, as this is it, I've already accomplished that), the next one appears on Friday (which will be a progress report) and that there will be between 1 and...

I think I said a mouthful in this post: I've actually accomplished quite a lot this week. Got some furniture moved; got some laundry done; got my hair cut; and I actually did some writing as well. My plans are to make at least one and no more than three more entries in here this weekend. THEN, I'll be making the beginning of the week report on the day when it's supposed to be made: MONDAY!!! Let's see if I'm able to do this at this time... ... [Read more]

This is the continuing soap opera of my goal-setting. I'm submitting it on Wednesday instead of Monday. I didn't give either a Friday report or a weekend report last week. Can't say that I've been idle, however — just gradually working towards my goals. A lot of them are still under-wraps, but some progress is showing. I hope to give you a more detailed report on Friday and, again, over the weekend. This has been a strange and challenging time in my l... [Read more]

Slowly but surely, I'm getting things caught up. I never got around to making a weekend report. Here is the last thing I wrote in this blog (with that containing a link to the next-to-last thing I wrote): Anyway, I was going to enter three contests last week but only entered one -- which means that, this week, my goal will be to enter two more contests at the very least. I've been keeping moderately-active with my two prompt blogs: ... [Read more]

First off, here's the goals I set for myself during the January part of this week: Now, it's a little ways into Saturday during the February part of this week when I'm reporting on the goals that I should have been reporting on yesterday. I'm going to be using this weekend to finish the three goals that I said I wanted for sure to get done this week. I've entered one out of three contests that I said I'd enter, and here it is: I also... [Read more]

When reading this, refer to: I've been so busy that I haven't come over to write anything else in this blog until now. It's Wednesday already, and I have three goals for this week. The goals listed in my last entry are in various stages of being completed, but I'm going to put emphasis on three things I want to do this week with one of those things being to enter three contests this week including the must-be-done-by-tonight . The next thing... [Read more]

It's a few minutes into Saturday Actually, it will be considerably MORE than just a few minutes into Saturday by the time that I get this finished -- but it shouldn't be hours and hours from now, because I'm not going to get distracted from writing this by some other activity, and I'm not going to even rest my eyes and end up conking out and not waking up until several hours later. If I get nothing else BUT this finished tonight, at least IT will be finished.... [Read more]

Below, you can find what I actually got done on what was to have been three separate over-the-weekend reports. This is the title that I gave it: From A Little After 12 a.m. Until No Later Than 6 p.m. 1/20 Anyway, I had the best of intentions. For starters, one of the things I'll be doing this week is to actually take what I'd written below, finish it, and write about all of this in another blog. I can tell you this much right now: "THE BIG PRO... [Read more]

Here are the goals I set for myself at the first of this week: Here is my update: 1. What I'm now calling "THE BIG PROJECT" will be finished sometime this month, and I've set a date for this to happen. 2. Most of what I've been getting done in the ways of the goals on my list has been participation in prompt-inspired writing. 3. However, I've been doing other meaningful things, too. This is still the week of MLK's special day, as a... [Read more]

"I have a dream!" Although he wasn't the only one to say these words, we associate them with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Today is actually the 89th anniversary of his birth. This day is celebrated on the Monday that falls closest to his birth, but it just so happens that his birthday and the closest Monday happen to be one and the same here in the year 2018. Anyway, I have a dream as well -- and that dream is to get at 89 percent of the goals I've been ... [Read more]

Goal-Setting can get a little strange at times. For example: Look at the lulu that I came up with 1 week ago today that was both unfinished and set to private until now. This REALLY wasn't the way that I was planning for this journal to look right at this time. Anyway, allow me to interpret my previous entry before going on to new business... The previous entry never got finished and, until a few minutes before I began writing this one, it wasn't made pub... [Read more]

Happy New Year!!! Can you believe that it's actually 2018 now!?! It doesn't seem that long ago that it was the first day of 2017 -- and, in fact, it doesn't seem all that long ago that If you'd like to take part in this fun and meaningful challenge, go here: ... [Read more]

Here it is almost at the end of the last Monday Thru Friday of 2017. I had a busy week this week and did get quite a few things accomplished. However, they weren't from my list of goals, though I have been making small dents in those. Therefore, whatever I don't accomplish over the weekend will be following me into 2018 -- with the first day of the same happening to fall on a Monday. Here's one thing that I did today that I'd like to share now befor... [Read more]

For starters, here are last week's goals: with this entry actually being written in another blog besides this one so that it would have a title that went by the rules of having something in the title clearly stating that it was an entry about setting goals for the week ahead. I had forgotten about this requirement when I placed the actual writing about the goals here: Anyway, I didn't want to change the title, so I kept it while providing a title that went by...

Obviously, I've been naughty in so many ways... For one thing, I turned my weekly goals in on Tuesday instead of Monday... and the report on how I did on Saturday instead of Friday... (which, of course, you're reading right now). Also, I actually put the Monday entry in another journal... because the title didn't follow the rules, and I wanted to keep it. Anyway, here's the latest update: It's now a couple of hours into Su... [Read more]

Somewhere In The World, It's Still Monday...OK? -- OK!!! (Hmmmmm...Maybe, I should have been a lawyer...} Anyway, I've just written a lead-in to this entry that can be found by going here: The reason for the lead-in is that the title is supposed to include some clear wording that it's about goal-setting. This one doesn't, but I wanted to keep it because it's such a catchy one. Anyway, without further ado, here are my goals for this week... [Read more]

There are only three times when this blog will have new entries added to it: Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. Why? Because it's a very special blog that has been created to go along with... My goal is to do the following three things whenever I have a computer at my ready: 1. Write an entry on Monday about goals that I want to have met by Friday -- or the weekend, at the latest. 2. Write an entry on Friday reporting on how well I did re: completing the goals... [Read more]
