ACCOUNTABILITY #1

So, in light of working towards each of these goals I feel like I need to take stock now and then and make sure I am actually doing what I said I would!

Firstly the list of projects... The less said about that the better! I am working toward carving out a space, and time, to do this.

Secondly the list of buzzwords, I'm going to have to devote a separate post to making some "Goal within a Goal" goals there.

The list of specific resolutions... This is what I really want to address here. So here goes:


1. A working cleaning schedule

I have had an idea for this which includes some sort of list/spreadsheet where jobs that I have done move to the bottom of the list, so that jobs that haven't been one in a while naturally rise to the top. Also, must research and see if there's an app that already does this. If not I call dibs on this idea. Plus cute graphics, with little bubbles that rise to the top which you can pop each time you do a job... Now we're talking! I could definitely mop the floors if there's a cute little animated bubble that giggles when you pop it!!

2. Digitise addresses and birthdays

Done!!! Tick and a big pat on the back for self!! I've EVEN immediately digitised new addresses as people give them to me, and created a shared digital birthday calendar with my husband.

3. Say the rosary

Maybe said seven decades since the new year. This is going to be the most difficult. I am going to have to be satisfied with saying lots of "broken" rosaries, rather than proper "me as a saint on my knees, with my shiny halo, like the picture on my holy card" rosaries.

4. Start traditions/honour saints' feast days

Nope. Nada. More effort required.

5. Finish the baby books

Have put it on my budget list to have more photos printed, no other efforts made.

6. Cover the kids' books

Two rolls of contact bought, several damaged books covered (And library books repaired, grr. My child seems to seek them out like stray puppies) and I will, as a matter of principle, use up what I have bought. So some of the books will get covered. Also, note to self; contact is a pain in the arse. It is in love with itself. Conceited contact.

7. Multivitamin

Just talking about this today actually, must do my research and get onto this.

8. Save for Christmas

I have opened a purpose-built bank account for this! But it has no money in it yet!


So that's the update for now. All going well, the next update should include definitive action on #1 and #5 at the very least, hopefully #7 and #8 too.
