Well folks, I got part way through my day & then the energy gnomes took my get up n go & I was done for the day. Oh well, such is life. It will be better tomorrow.

You do such cool exercises!

Would it help to have a physical list of your wins in a place where you can read them...like a bathroom mirror? I think you're doing really well with everything on your plate. *hugs*

I'm currently reading Murder, Motherhood, & Miraculous Grace by Debra Moerke. A true account of what can happen in a foster care situation. I plan on reading intentionally as well. I don't want to set a book goal because I am a speed reader & will rush through a book to reach a numbered goal.

Woot!

Week two started out with a decent run. Then I got a cold which is pretty much over (thank God for a strong immune system) so I can get back on track. Today is off to a good start.

Great job!

*snicker*

Now with the above recap, I know where I need to improve. On to week two!

So recap: Need to improve my bed by 11 goal I made my bed every day but one I met my exercise goal & missed 1 day of stretching I did not do well with recording workouts. ☹ I nailed my Bible goals! I did fairly well with habit tracking Missed 3 days out of 7 for journaling Started learning the new stitch for knitting Did meh on the 21 day challenge-need to improve For piano I did 3 out of 5 days

I had no idea those two things were tied together. As for my let's get started remedy. I play a game. Supplies: 1. Paper, pen, & scissors 2. A timer 3. An index card 4. A cup I write down six things that I need to accomplish, I cut an index card into six sections, number them from one to six & put them in a cup. I pull a number out of the cup, set my timer for 15-30 minutes & go! You can set your timer for longer periods if you want. I usually don't go longer than 30 if I'm doing office work. Breaks are as follows: For 15 minute increments: 10 minute break after three tasks are done For 30 minute increments: Housework = 10 minute break Office work = 15 minute break This sometimes makes my 'workday' a bit longer than a normal persons', but I find it to be much more balanced. Hope this helps! I had done a productivity game thread a couple of challenges ago that also included longer sessions like 'Round 'Tuits. I started it to see if there was any interest in doing it as a community; but didn't get many takers so I didn't migrate the challenge over.

These are great ideas! Thanks!

Seconding!

Will update my other stats tomorrow evening. Sabbath awaits.

Ahh...the evil trap of perfectionism (at least that's how it plays out for me). I have a method I use to overcome it...let me know if you're interested.

Happy to oblige. For those who want to know: pres•ti•dig•i•ta•tion prĕs″tĭ-dĭj″ĭ-tā′shən ► n. Performance of or skill in performing magic or conjuring tricks with the hands; sleight of hand. n. Skill or cleverness, especially in deceiving others. n. Legerdemain; sleight of hand; prestigiation; the performance of feats requiring dexterity and skill, particularly of the fingers; hence, juggling in general.

So for my 21 Day challenge, I'm supposed to perform 3 random acts of kindness for 3 different people. The problem? I rarely am out & about except for the gym & groceries. I'm thinking that I should go on to the next day's challenge & spread out the RAK quest throughout the rest of the challenge. Thoughts?

Workouts for the day:

Keep up the good work!

Hang in there!

Moonlight Sonata is my fav. piece. I got a chuckle out of the modified "Are we there yet?" in your story. Keep up the good work!

*hugs* I feel the weariness. Even as an introvert I'm feeling it. I do get out & about. I can't hug my friends when I see them & this makes me sad. On the other hand, I don't really get much time alone either. *sigh* It's really messed up.

Bummer about the sleep issues. I know what that's like. Insomnia is the worst! Hoping you get it resolved soon.
