Weekly Goals

I am, once again, late with the update but, once again, it's at least partly because I included the weekend to achieve some of my goals (starting to sound like a broken record here).

It really was just as tough a week as I had foreseen it would be. Work had reached a point where everything seems to have deadline yesterday, and the kids were moody all weekend. Looking at the list, though, it at least seems I managed most of what I set out to do.


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

Write, edit, or outline every day: It wasn't much I got done those last couple of days, but I kept the streak going.

Start edits: Check. The week started out well in this regard with a couple of days with a good amount of editing getting done, but it went down hill at the end of the week.

Get exercise: Another goal I achieved early in the week, only for things to slow down do to work late ron.

Stop snacking: This one was the opposite. I did well for a couple of days and then it seemed everyone had birthday and wanted to dish out cake and candy.... sigh. My willpower will only stretch so far.

Send protocols for review: I almost want to give myself double marks for this one, because I got a lot of protocols shipped of. So, at least I'm ahead here.

Participate in the weekly Codex lunch: I somehow managed to prioritize this, and I'm really happy that I did.


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: Giving myself double marks for this one. After a slow couple of weeks, I really manage to do a lot of exercises this week.

Stay up to date with Codex: I checked in with the forums and even had a few comments to add. One of them ended up with me connecting with another Codexian who, it turned out, live quite close to me. That ended up being a bit of a time drain, but it's well worth it.

Do a blog post: Nope. Though, I hope to get it done this week.

Submit stories: Check. Got that one story sent out.

Do a review: Another double mark. I got one review and a catch-up review sent out.
