Weekly Goals

Well, I'm not just late but very late with the update. Last week was extremely busy at work and then we had my youngest's birthday to plan and visitors over in the weekeden, and suddenly it was Tuesday. So, yeah.

Of course, I saw all of this coming, so I already set the bar low. I'm not sure I set it low enough, though.

Looking at my list below, it doesn't seem like I did too poorly, but a lot of those achieved goals felt like crawling across the finish line. Sadly, I don't think this week will be much better.

Core Goals There are the main goals, the ones I will focus on first.

{e:boxcheckWrite, edit, or outline every day: Check. Got that one done at least.

Finish one round of edits: It's a bit difficult to say for sure, but I think I've done all I can with this story, and now I just need to do copy edits before submitting.

Get exercise: Got this done as well, though barely.

Stop snacking: Reached this goal as well, and I'm very happy that I'm finally managed to make this a habit even in stressful weeks. Next step should probably be to cut down on snacking during the weekends as well.


Stretch Goals The not-quite-as-important goals. The ones I want to achieve but I won't be overly sad about missing out on.

Do vocal exercises: For once, I didn't reach this goal. Though, given what sort of week I had, I am okay with that.

Stay up to date with Codex: I didn't participate in any discussions, but I did join the weekly online lunch and follow up on forum posts.

Submit stories: Nope. Didn't even get around to consider it.

Do a review: Another one I only barely got done.

Follow up on WdC commitment: Nope. I got started on it, though, and hope to finish it off this week.
