A Productive Week
Written on December 21, 2008 – 11:51 pm | by Lena
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!

I have been quite busy and am just catching up on reading the monthly group. If you posted on your other blog, it counts. You just have to blog on any of your blogs at least once a day.
Hope that made sense.

Hi Lucy,
That does make sense, and makes me feel better. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!
