Five for 5 - Oct 20

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

Here were the goals from last week:
1. Read newspapers through June 15.  I got through June 10, so it was something.
2. Clear out the expired coupons. Did it in my coupon book but not the extras.
3. Focus on Dan's room.Nope.  This is so hard to do.
4. Publicize my October fundraiser. Yes!  Missed it?  Go check it out here.
5. Finish my phone cleanup and get rid of stuff I don't need. Continued on this, but still have more to do.



Not a bad week.  I did some things.  So what are my goals for this week???
Let's see if I can repeat my success from last week:

1. Read newspapers through June 20.
2. Finish clearing out the expired coupons
3. Find the flannel crib sheets, which I think are in Dan's room.
4. Continue publicizing my October fundraiser.
5. Finish my phone cleanup and get rid of stuff I don't need.

You are probably wondering what a SMART goal is.  It is a term I "borrowed" from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine at Money Saving Mom.  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!
