Chesire Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Update: Feb 24 2023 for new year, new guidelines. Here we are. I've never been an organized goal person, so I'm figuring it out as I go. This will be more of an outline of where I think I might be going this year (and future years) so I can have a little more organization and measurable results, and a little less distraction by shiny sparkles. 2022 Master Training Plan, here we go. I intend to revisit and update on a regular (during challenges?) basis Home- the goal is to have a home we've planned instead of a house we've occupied. This whole list is now not necessary. The plan is to move within the year. make a room-by-room to-do list with MrC - make sure we are on the same page so I don't become frustrated. --> then tackle it with a plan. This also allows me freedom to do things without waiting for his input reduce generalized clutter --> organize better for both of us and set up a chore list to share Can we rearrange for style and space? Have a garden of basics that I can tend easily and well. (Likely tomato, beans of several types, herbs) this is on hold as we hope to move and I' not putting in the work for no return. Fitness- the goal is to have at least on specific success, rather than generalized progression in ability either run a 10K race or consistently run a faster 5K pace (goal of 10:30min/mile) achieve 2 sets of 2 strict pull-ups (end goal of this being a normal thing, not a major effort) succeeded some time at the end of June. Now to keep it going. work toward end goal of handstand push-up do the Elements program and plan from there Personal- the goal is to be satisfied with myself and a variety of way start a personalized wardrobe so I can have comfort and suitable (to my shape) without thought to achieve this ⬆️ there are three immediate steps fit a few basic sewing patterns to myself for easy go-to learn how to refit RTW for myself determine need vs have, especially with an eye to what does and doesn't work, not current style finish a major knitting project (currently a sweater) 2/7/2022 finish a major crochet project (likely a sweater) Why are sweaters the measuring stick? finish #1 in DuoLingo once 2/6/2022 maintain the challenge I threw down to my dad for a second year DL streak Work- the goal is to happy at the store while maintaining my focus and energy for massage sell a machine myself determine if I really want to teach/lead a class crochet stretching guide class not based on the owner's wants or projected excitement slight change of plan for this list. I will be the newest sewing machine tech at work. Training at the end of July. (I suspect I will become lead tech quickly as the other tech seems to lack confidence) organize CE for massage and do it Reading- a collection of books that might help how I think and look at all the things Atomic Habits Better than Before I tried Overcoming Gravity Level Up Your Life (reread) 3 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
athousandwords Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 What a great list! I feel like this is such a good mix of a variety of things (so the shiny brain doesn't get bored) but also completely achievable. Congrats on keeping it realistic and fun! Looking forward to seeing how this goes for you over the year. 1 Quote Level 16 Ravenclaw Rebel Fairy tales do not start, nor do they end, in the dark forest (Ted Lasso) COMPLETED CHALLENGES: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 13.5 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 CURRENT CHALLENGE Link to comment

Chesire Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Even more of a plan! That was much longer than I thought it would be, but I'm leaving it. It made me smile. The additions to the plan. Points system. I recognize I'm a grade person, or at the very least a measurable pass/fail person. Also other nerds have these awesome point systems and I had point-envy. But it was over whelming to try to come up with a system while also planning challenge goals. Anyway, long-story-short, a zero week that didn't require goal setting allowed for point pondering and I think I have an adaptable plan. The points system: major goal- 3pts, 4 days effort =12pt second goal- 2 pts, 4 days effort= 8 pt minor goal - 1 pts, 4 days effort = 4 pt minor goal - 1 pts, 4 days effort = 4 pt total 28 pts/ week. 140 per challenge bonus point is 1 pt per extra day of any above. I need to acknowledge without rewarding to greatly. 140 pt - amazing A 120pt - good work B 100pt- uh, is everything ok C if ok, redo from start if not ok 80pt- no, really, what's wrong. Check-in time. No grade, no 'fail' though 150 pts- gold star You win but still an A Almost forgot! If there isn't 4 things to focus on that round, points can be combined and shifted to preserve the math. Now to slap this over the new challenge and give it a test drive. 3 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment

Chesire Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Notes about this set up for myself after first use. (copied in challenge too) Maintaining tracking in my physical calendar is very helpful because I decided to write down what I did not just that I did it. So I can see the time I put into bigger projects specifically. Additionally sharing pics and celebrations here makes the scrolling check back satisfying. the actual points seem to work so far. adjusting on the fly - in this case for a vacation- was easy to do It would probably benefit me to set up a dummy chart I can c&p easily, just switching out icons as needed, and keep the icons handy so I don't have to return to start to get them when I inevitably forget. Seriously, I forgot my Ignoraminx was a 🦨 and I set it up that way! don't forget to write down the points system in my pretty challenge book so I don't have to flip over to BL to figure it out!

Chesire Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 The second challenge certainly had me continuing on the right path. House needs have changed/ are no longer relevant as we look into moving. I'm making headway on my pull up goal. 2 sets of first was almost strict (not from dead hang) and second had a tow assist. Pleased so far. Also did the first run of the season, which didn't go too badly. Only a little sore. Decided to try Zombies, run! for a change. Have massage CEU organized and started. Will be tackling Bernina learning right after. Have one sewing pattern ready to use and another on deck to finish tweaking. All in all, headway has been made. 1 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment

Practice is hard. specific things I want to have available: decent pull over shirt (for work or golf- lord I sound golf obsessed, but the courses have dress codes) go to trouser pattern go to shorts pattern more relaxed than ^^ flattering pattern for jersey material but not a t-shirt button down shirt pattern Updates through mid July in orange this time 1 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
Qnobi Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Congrats on the pull-ups! I'm putting that milestone off to winter, myself, but it's good to see the success! 1 Quote Link to comment
Chesire Posted July 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 so this challenge, ending tomorrow, has been the first to be in the 80-100 point range. I don't really know the score, I stopped tracking. Automatic trigger of the 'is everything ok' button. No, everything is not ok. But I've spotted some things in me that are causing the not ok, so next time round will be taking some time to figure this out. Basically, burnout. I will not push myself next challenge. I will take time to determine if this is a serious, get outside help situation, or a I can do this with a little help from my crew situation. Stay tuned for more information 1 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment

Emissary2Ornj Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Stopping in to say howdy! (catching up on your last challenge) I've never had to live somewhere where the birds/bugs completely left/went silent for the season. It's definitely a perk of existence. Had never thought about not experiencing it before. Thanks for broadening my worldview. Quote "You're not in it to get Most [Recognized Rebel Ever]. You're not in it to be eligible for prizes.

I'm happy with that achieve 2 sets of 2 strict pull-ups (end goal of this being a normal thing, not a major effort) succeeded some time at the end of June. Now to keep it going. Didn't really focus on this what with illness and life stress/upheaval work toward end goal of handstand push-up do the Elements program and plan from there restarted Elements in Dec. so far very interesting learning about my body Personal- the goal is to be satisfied with myself and a variety of way start a personalized wardrobe so I can have comfort and suitable (to my shape) without thought to achieve this ⬆️ there are three immediate steps fit a few basic sewing patterns to myself for easy go-to I have a skirt, a dress, and shorts ready for easy making! Next pants or shirt? learn how to refit RTW for myself I haven't done this, but I did listen in on a class at work when a Master Tailor came in to teach a refitting class and picked up a few ideas. determine need vs have, especially with an eye to what does and doesn't work, not current style I've kept this in mind and am continuing to learn, especially how to compliment my more athletic build. finish a major knitting project (currently a sweater) 2/7/2022 finished but not happy with it. Will dismantle to reuse the yarn finish a major crochet project (likely a sweater) Why are sweaters the measuring stick? Almost done with a significant project. Poncho. Will try to learn Tunisian crochet or 'knitting with a crochet hook' next year finish #1 in DuoLingo once 2/6/2022 maintain the challenge I threw down to my dad for a second year DL streak Only used streak freeze twice this year! onward. Work- the goal is to happy at the store while maintaining my focus and energy for massage sell a machine myself did this! determine if I really want to teach/lead a class crochet not really, but private lessons maybe stretching probably not. it would need to be connected to another class and people don't like to stick around after guide class no thank you. not based on the owner's wants or projected excitement I know how to resist her! Though she did kind of kill my excitement about selling a machine because she celebrates before I have a chance to recognize my success first myself. slight change of plan for this list. I will be the newest sewing machine tech at work. Training at the end of July. (I suspect I will become lead tech quickly as the other tech seems to lack confidence) My thoughts were pretty accurate about who will be the stronger tech, but mostly because I have a better capacity to work in a less structured environment; ie there is nothing more I can do on this at the moment, put it aside for another. organize CE for massage and do it Did what I needed to for the year and have what I need for next year, just waiting for the year to change. Reading- a collection of books that might help how I think and look at all the things Atomic Habits Better than Before I tried Overcoming Gravity Level Up Your Life (reread) pick it up periodically This is why I said guidelines. The year went off the rails compared to what I was expecting when I set it up. But goals were achieved! Now to sit and ponder for the next year. 1 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
Chesire Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 New year, new guidelines! Home- Hopefully this year we will be able to find a house to be our home. 2022 brought a lot of surprises in the home department, so I can't even begin to plan out how this will go. I'll just be rolling with this one and update the specifics as I can through the year. Fitness- this is a revisit: either run a 10K race or consistently run a faster 5K pace (goal of 10:30min/mile) achieve 2 sets of 2 strict pull-ups (end goal of this being a normal thing, not a major effort) I had it, now I have to get it back! finish Elements program and plan from there. At least further explore GMB free stuff, and research their other classes Personal satisfaction- most of this is continuation of last year continue personal styling for quality and comfort fit a few basic sewing patterns to myself for easy go-to learn how to refit RTW for myself determine need vs have, especially with an eye to what does and doesn't work, not current style find easy peace with personal presentation ie skin and hair care, and the quality of person I put out to the world maintain the challenge I threw down to my dad for a second third year DL streak continue crochet skills another knit project Work- ensure satisfaction and fair effort complete necessary CEU for massage do advanced tech training, at least one class do correspondence tech training class Relationship- satisfaction on both sides help with his recovery but not be the source or drive for it. Actively rephrase should it be stated I'm the reason maintain boundaries for my quality of life clear expression and discussion of all things continue to work on not needing to be 'right' and let the unimportant things go live such that it us against the challenge, not against each other 1 1 Quote daily dare 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
Jean Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I've been drawn in by the fun picture of a penguin eating pizza, then I somehow got stuck following arrows and not getting the result I was shooting for. I'm right there with you on the home path, keep a-tryin', you'll get there. Also, kuddos on the relationship goals. I don't know the story behind them but those look like really healthy ones to follow. 1 Quote Legally bound to hug people in need. Living life as a Druid is about walking with the beasts. It's about being scared, looking your fears in the eyes and going on anyway. Dread doesn't go away, you just learn to know it. It's still a beast, it still has fangs, but you walk among it.
