Where are we going? Where have we been?

On April 1 I began this blog and began this plan:

30-DAY PLAN

I will do each of these things daily for the month of April

My house:

·      15 min pickup a day

·      1-minute rule (if a task takes less that one minute to accomplish, it must happen RIGHT AWAY. Put your shoes away, hang up my coat, put a plate in the dishwasher, throw away junk mail NOW. Don’t let the little things wait.)

I have been pretty successful (90% ? ) following these rules, but I still feel like there is an awful lot of crap in my house. Hopefully my plan for May will tackle that.

Health/Fitness

Stay off the scale:

100% Success. I would throw the scale away, but my husband won’t let me.

No sugar:

95% success – but I realized that the sugar I do eat has some pretty nasty effects on me, so I will continue to avoid it … most of the time.

Exercise:

This was more like 70% success. I went to a lot of yoga classes, but the running thing is not working out like I want it to. Maybe just a lot more walking is in order. Maybe a spinning class? They look scary, but maybe …

Work:

This is what I said I would do:

·      Update my Facebook business page.

·      Check job listings in LinkedIn groups, Craigslist, Elance etc … and try to send my portfolio to at least one new contact each day.

This is what I actually did:

·      2 small freelance jobs

·      design and sew a bunch of kindle cases

·      relaunch my Etsy shop

·      I did check job listings all the time, but found nothing I could apply for. Boooooooo.

Last but not least … blog every day

100% Success!

Tune in tomorrow for my plan for May! Here’s a hint …
