5 for Five - April 28



So what is 5 For Five? In the short form, it is 5 goals you want to achieve this week. Next week, I will report on my success (or failure).

Here were the goals from last week:


1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in 4 months! Done!
2. Clean out two clutter areas before Shelby starts crawling.  She isn't crawling yet, but getting close, so these are going back on the list.
3. Get into a blogging schedule. I'm getting back into a schedule, but I really need to get into a routine.
4. Do another Shutterfly book. I have to since the coupon expires 4/30.
5. Do a bit more on the blog redesign. Nope.

I had another bad week!  Its tough to get your list done when unexpected thing come up.  :(

So what are my goals for this week???  I'm keeping the same goals.  I am determined to get them done this week.

1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in 4 months!
2. Clean out two clutter areas before Shelby starts crawling. 
3. Get into a blogging schedule.
4. Do another Shutterfly book.
5. Do a bit more on the blog redesign.
You are probably wondering what a SMART goal is.  It is a term I "borrowed" from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode: 9 Simple Strategies to Stress Less, Sleep More, and Restore Your Passion for Life by Crystal Paine.  SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  Since all these goals are really time-bound (1 week), I just have to get better at meeting the other criteria.

Ok, who is with me?  Let's keep each other on track to a better year!
