My October Resolutions
- Wake up 6:20: I set my alarm clock every weekday, but it was sort of irrelevant as my children woke up before that time almost every day. It did give me a sense of having more control over my mornings though. I am undecided whether I should try setting the alarm clock 10-15 minutes earlier. On the one hand I would love to have a little bit of time for myself in the mornings before the crew wakes up, on the other hand I feel like I desperately need all the sleep I can get...
- Be present: I definitely made the effort here:)
- Monitor/log every penny: this did not happen.
- Take a few days where I log my time, minute from minute: I did this for two days and was not surpriced to find out that too much of my time is divided between Category I (urgent and important, such as workstuff that has imminent deadlines) and Category IV (non-urgent and non-important, such as spending too much time on facebooking, internet browsing, watching tv). My goal is to increase time in Category II - i.e. spend more time on things that are important but non-urgent.
- Be proactive: I definitely exercised this muscle a bit.
- Make weekly plans: I did and it really helped me get an overview of my schedule, goals, projects, deadlines, etc. I think this can be very helpful when trying to move my time more into Category II.
- No non-essential spending: Unfortunately I was not very good at this.
- Bring lunch to work: I did this for the first week and than I gave up. I will try again.
- Say positive affirmations about abundance (in terms of both time and money): did this a few times, but not nearly every day.
- Do not stress about time or money: Not really successful here.
Other related things that I did this month was to start reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
...and in order to minimize stress and urgent tasks in the next couple of months I took up this challenge and have started preparing the holidays:)
Have a wonderful weekend!
