Week 7

Dear Friends,

::The more progress I make on these goals, the more time I spend on them.  It's actually addicting people.  This whole experience has been greatly positive for me but with six hefty goals, it is a professional juggling act.

I literally learned how to juggle last year when I bought a pool table.  I taught myself to juggle three pool balls in less than an hour.  When I tried to do four, it took me a couple of days practice.  The more I tried to juggle, the more planning, practice, and patience it took.  However, when I got a rhythm going it was easy.  Trying to work on every goal, every week is such a juggling act, that l will need to apply the same juggler's heart from now one to achieve my aim. 

Tell me how you make the most out of your time in the comments.

Goal 1: To change 30 lives
 ------------------_______________________________----------------- 

 

What have you done for me lately?: 

 Last week's action plan was to make sandwiches for homeless which I didn't do. This is one the goals I've been neglecting lately so I will commit now to setting aside time in my calendar for this.

Goal 2: To gain 10 lbs of muscle
 ------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?: 
  Last week's action plan was to eat 3000 calories everyday/Lift 4 days this week.  I lifted 6 days, went on a long walk, and ate a lot of good food often.  It was a great week!  Didn't track calories though.  I will save that for a different week.

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week's action plan was no cigarettes.  I'm proud to announce that I'm a non-smoker and it's been one week so far.  I'm so happy to escape the nicotine trap.  Quitting smoking SHOULD HAVE been one of my goals all along.

No cigarettes.

Goal 4: To develop and present a business plan to FIVE investors

------------------_______________________________-----------------  

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week's action plan was to work on market research.  It's been weeks now without any activity on this goal.  This is the next ball I need to juggle.  So I am working on a mental map of how and when I will find the time to get started on the business I've always dreamed about.

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

Market research

Goal 5: To spend 200 hours learning and/or practicing Spanish

------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week's action plan was to read 1 Chapter in my Spanish tutor textbook, schedule my next tutor lesson, and read a minimum of seven articles on Nulu.  I did none of this so it remains my goal for next week.    

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:

Read one chapter in my Spanish tutor textbook, schedule my next tutor lesson, and read a minimum of seven articles on Nulu.

Goal 6: To read 12 books

------------------_______________________________----------------- 

What have you done for me lately?:

Last week's action plan was to read at least 100 pages.  I ended up reading 177 pages and did 2 hours of listening on a new audiobook.  I'm starting to wonder why I wasn't always reading something.

Weekly Action Plan (WAP)!:
Read 100 pages.  Listen to one hour of audiobook.
