I’ve noticed that since I’ve started doing these week in review posts on Sunday nights, that the weeks sure seem to be going by a lot more quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I last did one of these.

I’ll get to this week’s posts in a minute here, but first… a question for you. Do you find these summary posts useful? Please leave me a comment and let me know what I can do or what you’d like to see me write about in future posts.

This week’s posts:

Sunday – A Productive Week
Monday – Four Common Sense Rules for Personal Growth
Wednesday – Happy Holidays
Thursday – Looking Forward, Looking Back
Friday – Are You Making New Years Resolutions or Lifestyle Changes?

I missed two days this week, which blows my month of posts out the window. But I’m not really too disappointed because I actually enjoyed the Christmas week and took some much needed time off.

So starting today we’re back to work and getting prepared for a fantastic, incredible 2009.

It’s been a great week, even though it’s flown by way too fast. It seems like just yesterday I wrote a week in review post, but it really has been a whole week. And a really busy one at that!

It’s also been productive because I found a way to keep myself on track most days. In addition to writing out my weekly goals and sending them to my accountability partner, I also started writing daily checklists of everything I wanted to get done. And I did all seven days worth on Saturday night so that I knew starting Sunday morning exactly what I needed to get done every single day this week. I’ve found that I need that structure in order to keep myself working and not wandering off to do other things like read or play too much on twitter. I also like the convenience of having a piece of paper in front of me all day long so that I’m continually reminded of what to do next, and also so that I have a place to jot down ideas as they occur instead of having to go looking for a notebook to write in.

The only downer this week is my month of posting on here took a hit Wednesday night. I was helping someone that night, and by the time we were finished I was so tired I just crawled into bed. It didn’t hit me until late Thursday that I had totally forgotten to write something the day before. I did do a post on my personal blog that day, but not sure if that counts toward my month of posting or if it all has to be on one blog. Maybe one of the NaBloPoMo folks can comment and let me know?

So without further ado, here’s this week’s roundup of posts:

Sunday – Week in Review
Monday – Why I’m Thankful to be Setting Goals
Tuesday – Four Tips For Setting Short Term Goals
Wednesday – Pumpkin Soup (on HelenaRitchie.com)
Thursday – The Necessity of Baby Steps in Setting Goals
Friday – A Christmas Story in the Making
Saturday – Top 10 Quotes on Setting Goals

And that was my week, in a nutshell. How was your week? Are you looking forward to the new week ahead? Don’t by shy, share your thoughts!

Okay, it’s reality check time. This post marks the end of two full weeks of daily posting for me. And it’s a lot harder than I thought it would be coming up with something original to say every day. So far I’ve avoided falling into the re-blogging trap of just talking about what other people are saying, although I may do some of that if I can ever get an hour or two to sit here and catch up on reading everyone else’s blogs.

Today, however, I seem to have hit a wall. My brain is still on overload trying to process everything I learned at the Masters Seminar this past week. I’ve started about a half dozen posts in the last hour and nothing is coming out right. So rather than bore you with drivel and the incoherent ramblings of the sleep-deprived, I’ll just give you a recap of last week’s posts in case you didn’t get a chance to read them earlier.

Sunday – More on Happiness
Monday – Five Tips for Breaking the Procrastination Habit
Tuesday – It’s Time to Stop Drooling and Start Doing
Wednesday – Ten Quickies for Stress Relief
Thursday – What’s Good in Your Life?
Friday – Five Ways To Re-Inspire Yourself
Saturday – Four Brainstorming Tips For When You Need an Idea
