Just Keep Moving!
Life is busy and in the midst of all that busyness, it’s easy to end up at the end of a week (or month!) without having really accomplished anything. It is so true that if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
To ensure that I’m living life on purpose, I make a weekly plan. I started calling it my Just Keep Moving List to encourage myself that even though I may be slow, I’m making progress!
This past week was a little crazy because we started our first week of homeschool for the year and I wasn’t as organized as I usually am. Many of the projects I had planned had to take a back seat to helping my children get started on our new schedule and finishing the edits on my new ebook Stress Free Meals. I pretty much collapsed in a heap at the end of the day–haha!.
Here’s this week’s plan (and an update on last week’s!):
Last Week:
Run 2 days √
Walk 2 days √
Run at least 1 mile on one of my runs X
This Week: Run/Walk at least 25 minutes 4 days (after some research, I will be interval training–run 10 minutes, walk 5 for example–instead of distance running one day a week.)
Last Week:
Date with hubby √
Driving practice with son √
Get everyone started on our new school schedule √
Have one-on-one devotion time with 11 year old 4 mornings total fail
This Week:
Date with hubby
Driving practice with son
Confine blog work and writing to before 9 am, 1 hour at lunch and a couple of hours in the afternoon/evening
Have one-on-one devotion time with 11 year old 4 mornings (second attempt)
Each week I choose a project to work on ten minutes a day (read why here).
Last Week: Unpack and organize school books on new shelf X (nope, I didn’t even spend 10 minutes on this)
This Week: Unpack and organize school books on new shelf.
Last week:
bedtime by 10 pm √ (4 out of 7 nights)
drink 8 glasses of water daily (see my DIY drink reminder magnets here) √ (drank at least 6 on 6/7 days)
eat veggies every day √ (5 out of 7)
This week: bedtime by 10 pm, drink 8 glasses of water daily, take cod liver oil capsules daily (gotta get that vitamin D in!)
Last Week:
Morning “brain dump” (read more here) and journaling first thing √ (5 out of 7 days)
Do art journaling 2 days X (again, I just barely kept my head above water this week)
This Week:
