BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Life Coaching What are your short term goals?

Okay, my mechanic who fixed my radiator issues also looked at everything else in the car. Apparently my brakes are great and i could use an oil change next month.

So i suddenly don't have to plan two days around Flagstaff any time soon. Isn't that unexpectedly nice!

So my next short term goals -

1. Sir William the Bloody (grey tabby) is not growing and can't keep food down. I have a voucher for a free checkup for him for today at the 24 hour vet and will bring him in today. I will also bring in Cmdr John Crichton (red tabby) for comparison - he's twice the size, from the same litter.

Any tests i will have to pay for, but at least I can get William looked at. So this is today.

2. I am hiking to the TeePees tomorrow!

3. I need to deal with my RV dump tanks, which are leaking sewage - eewwww. I am letting the drip go into a container and hand carrying that to the toilet in the house to flush it down. Once it gets low enough i am going to flush out the system. I need to get a mechanic to give it a look if I intend to use that toilet again.

*I am deliberately not adding 'work' items to this short term list. I want to see what niggling/important life things i can get off my plate.*

4. I am down to a handful of checks. I need to go to the bank this week, put the account into my new address, deposit some paychecks, and order actual personal checks for my permanent address. It gives me great pride to say Permanent Address.

5. I want to bring my vision boards to my local framer for an idea he has to preserve them. That I can even consider such a low priority task is so great! Plus I can show him how i blogged about him on CampVerdeLife.com.

6. Time to refill my empty drinking water bottles in town and bring in the recycling.

7. Finish spreading mulch in the front yard.

I also have a ton of things to repair in the house and cottage, but that will need to wait for some other paychecks. The car repair and dr wiped me out for a bit. And I do not know what getting William some tests will cost.

Robin -

Those are great short term goals! Let us know when you make the entries on etsy so we can take a look at them!

Jill - that is so fantastic that your life has become so peaceful and serene that you can think about "relaxing" activities like going for hikes and framing your vision boards! That is awesome!!

Thanks Lisa! I got everything off my short term list except these, so will repost them:

Updates

- The weather is starting to cool off enough to think about mulching again, so i would like to return to messing with that next week. I will do a little at a time - there is no rush, I have all fall and winter to do this. It will just look nice when done and make me feel happy about it.

- Also I need to deposit a bunch of checks. I might just do that at the ATM and not worry about getting the checks this week. I can make getting the checks deposited my goal for this week and getting new checks a goal for next week.

- Still need to deal with bringing things to the framer. Next week, of course!

- I would like to make some kind of move to take a vacation. This is really going to require sitting down to plan. Or walking around to think about. All I can envision right now is a camping trip to the North Rim before it closes for the year.

- take a walk at least five days this week. I am on track with yesterday and the night before, and I will walk this evening. SO if i get in two more walks after today, that will be good.

- get my last Blog post article for September published before Monday,
kick out a few reviews for Amazon and RunPee, and create a few press releases for some clients.

SO that's easy for the rest of the week - deposit checks and fill water bottles - both can be done at night when i am more lively. One more article and a handful of reviews and one press release.

Then next week get checks, go to the framer, spread a little mulch, get a tire changed out on my jeep, and work stuff. I will return to the work idea next week, and just focus on the things I mentioned above for this week.

I love this Jilly! Thanks for starting this thread - I need to keep better track of my short term goals.

1. Keep my food journal, update every meal!
2. Memorize my new song!
3. Clean up kitchen (this is very short term LOL - like 15 minutes from now HA HA)
4. Get ready for my gig on Saturday.
5. Read out of my Dreamgates book.

Deanna, that's a great mix of relaxing goals, short tasks, and harder stuff. Good luck - you will get them all done!

I know I will! I always have to set goals for the fun stuff too, otherwise I get to working so hard, I forget to have any fun, and start to feel resentful!

Reading - I LOVE - so I always make sure that's a part of my day

You are too cool. I need to learn to do that too, to add fun goals to my lists. Am i even allowed to have fun???

HA HA.... maybe we should start a thread of ONLY fun things we plan on doing - on a daily basis!

Really, not a bad idea!
