DVDs are Organized!

57. Organize my DVD collection is now COMPLETE! Halfway through this project I was regretting it. I have my DVDs in those CD cases. 280+ DVDs to pull out, put back in, and organize alphabetically. HOLY COW!

But... its complete and I am glad that it is done.

15/101 COMPLETE!

Several in progress... If I keep this up I just MIGHT finish my "smaller" goals (ie. finish TV series, crafts, etc) before the end of the year. Financials and etc will take longer of course.

Happy V-Day!

Changed number67. to: Drink ONLY 1 soda (or less) a day for 10 days. Before it said Drink ONLY 1 soda a day for 10 days. It was supposed to be a lead up to the Drink no Soda for a Week straight so far today I've had only Ice Tea to drink so I consider that an accomplishment... so we'll see. Its still early yet and I have a headache from no caffeine...

Friday - due to a rush to return Season 4 :( - I've finished 96. Finish watching Star Trek Enterprise.

14/101 COMPLETE

OH! And I cooked another new recipe... Pecan Pear Salad... pictures to follow.

Use the Control Journal

Now that I HAVE a control journal... I need to USE it. This one will not be crossed off until I have done every routine in the journal for 120 STRAIGHT days... no breaking routines. For me, it'll probably take this long for me to consider the habits in it "established". The whole point is to establish the routines in it, which are:

1. Eat Breakfast every morning (0/120)
2. Brush my teeth every morning after breakfast (0/120)
3. Take my vitamins (0/120)
4. Take my fiber (0/120)
5. Wash my face every morning (0/120)
6. Use teeth whitener - twice a day (0/240)
7. Write for 15 minutes a day, EVERYDAY (0/120)
8. Daily Spanish Practice, everyday (0/120)
9. Workout 30 minutes, 4 times a week (0/18)
10. Cleaned all my zones weekly (0/18)
11. Planned all meals (0/18)
12. Wash my face before bed (0/120)
13. Take a shower every evening BEFORE bed (0/120)
14. Have all my items packed BEFORE morning (0/120)

Most of these are routines that I do daily as it is but have no set schedule (ie, sometimes I shower in the evening, sometimes in the morning) but without a set schedule my days are too choatic. I'm hoping this way things'll work out better for me.

Anytime I miss ONE of these, I have to reset the counter for ALL of them, back to zero. It needs to be 120 days (or 18 weeks, based on goal) consectutive days. It's the only way I'll make my goals.

I am currently working on an incentive plan, which I'll post later.

2009 Scrapbook list

Here's a few of the things I need to remember when working on my 2009 scrapbook (ie. Things to scrapbook)

Control Journal

59. Create a control journal

COMPLETED! I'll admit this was in progress since late last year but I finally got it finished! It houses my daily routines, weekly zones to clean, menus to fill out, budgets, wish lists, reading lists, basically my whole life.

COMPLETE

37. Bake 10 new recipes (1/10)

First recipe backed: Cashew Chicken. I should be able to knock three more out this weekend as I'm cooking QUITE the meal for Chris for Valentine's Day.

Other Accomplishments: My knitted hat! Here's a bunch of photos from various angles.

Here we go again!

In the Other Accomplishments category I have FINALLY hung up all my wall decorations on the walls of my new apartment.

AND I completed 63. Organize spoon collection. When I hung it up on the wall I organized the spoos the way I wanted them to be. Sounds like a simple goal but it hasn't been done in all of 23 years so I consider this a HUGE accomplishment.

Photos to follow.


Completed: 12/101
In Progress: 18/101

Round and Round we go

Added another day of arriving at work after 7:15. Today was unintentional but all the same... I did it.

Also, I added another "Other accomplishment" to my list. Last night I knitted a green hat on my new circle loom (pictures to follow).

SWEET!
