Some people are solving major world problems, and I’m over here all excited because I found a missing sock inside a pair of my underwear.
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing: The Best of Year One
Allowing myself a bit of a shorty post, not because there’s nothing to talk about – obviously, have you seen the world lately? – but because I’ve got about a week left to polish off a big list of goals and need to devote as much time as possible to those to get them done.
I can’t recall if I brought this up specifically before, but at the start of May this year I started a new type of goal tracking/journaling and have been trying to hone that to the point it was the most beneficial while being the least intrusive. That, I think, is finally working as intended, but me being me I’ve got 66 goals this month and have only finished 38 so far. That’s a lot to do in not a lot of time.
Granted, since I’ve started this I’ve never completed more than 78% of a month’s goals, but I had a fire lit under me this time after an abysmal September. I want that shiny triple digit number. If nothing else, I want this to be the best month tracked, which would certainly make it the best one of the year.
Time spent here is time spent away from Residuum editing or home reno or woodworking or… etc., etc. And, yes, I know I can really only allow myself to get away with this once. Even though next Sunday will be an even more time-critical, oh-no-the-end-is-here date, that’s fine. It’ll probably bit a bit of a recap of the month and more focused on where things stand with the novel(s) and next projects. Plenty to do to get it there, though.
Have an excellent week, everyone. Go hard in the paint, close this bad boy out.
