I made small goals two weeks ago, but I had trouble accomplishing them. Life is very busy this time of year–the girls had prom, one had a friend visit from out of town. . .and this week is equally busy–one all-day homeschool tech competition, three track meets, shuttling the kids to and from their jobs. I don’t know if I lack motivation or if I just need to accept that during this last sprint to the finish line of having high school children, I won’t be able to accomplish everything I want. I don’t know. I’m on the wait list for an audio copy of Atomic Habits, hoping that can help. Here are the goals I want to accomplish this week and what I accomplished (or didn’t) the last two weeks:

My Goals for This Week (Week 33)
Since this is going to be a very busy week, I’m setting super simple goals:
- Go to the gym 2x this week.
- Write up two book reviews for the many books I’ve completed this year but haven’t written about.
- Study Japanese for 60 minutes this week.
- Continue to track my food intake and use the hunger and fullness scale.
A Recap of The Last Two Weeks’ Accomplishments
- Walk for 10 minutes after breakfast and lunch. I took 12 walks. (If I did this daily, it should have been 14.)
- Go to the gym 4x this week. I went 3 times.
- Write up three book reviews for the many books I’ve completed this year but haven’t written about. I wrote one.
- Study Japanese for 60 minutes this week. I studied for 52 minutes.
- Continue to track my food intake and use the hunger and fullness scale. This was hit or miss.
