With the fortune/trouble of working from home, I have been making my own very soft goals for awhile. Ok, they've been more like aims. Flexible, I-don't-mind-if-I-don't-achieve-them aims, which I then just have a constant feeling of guilt over for never quite doing what I wish I had.
Sarah's description of an 'Every Damn Day' list really resonated with me. For some reason that internal soundbite of Every. Damn. Day. has kicked that resolute part of me in to gear.
Having successfully made the resolute decision to lose weight in the past, I expect to be able to make the necessary adjustments now to get my schedule and work/life balance back on track. Admittedly, I have followed Sarah's lead and aimed pretty low. Like only two things on the list low.
Make the bed
Eat while it is still light outside
Making the bed used to be something I did consistently and meticulously every day. Seeing a messy bed just makes me so unhappy.
I have a tendency to get caught up in my work and continue into the wee hours. Often, by the time I remember to eat or take a break to get it out of the way, dinner can be any time after 9pm and sometimes even 10pm. Because it is so late, it also has a tendency to consist entirely of toast.
With time and mastery of these, I expect to be able to add more. Getting dressed by 9am is the next thing I am going to add to the list and I have already been able to get up early enough twice in the last week. Counting that as a win.
