Weekly Goals for the Week of October 2, 2013, and An Update on Last Week’s Goals

So, no surprise here, but I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with my massive goal list every week.  So, you’ll see that this week’s goals are pared down.

If you set weekly goals for yourself, how many do you try to accomplish a week?

Last Week’s Goals

Here’s what I set out to accomplish last week:

Financial

• Spend two hours listing items around the house to sell.  (Yes!  I have sold $50 worth of stuff so far–a boy’s winter coat for $15, a Captain Hook costume for $15, and a girl’s winter coat & snow pants for $20.)
• Begin to set up our will and trust.  (Last time I tried to do this myself, I was 9 months pregnant and an emotional wreck, so hopefully it will go better this time.)

Personal

• Write the blog post about our homeschool area
  
• Register the kids for some theater performances we plan to watch this year.
  
• Take the kids to the library at least once this week
• Read at least 3 books to the girls a day (We are reading 4 to 6 books a day.)
• Do at least 15 minutes of ABCMouse.com with each girl 4 to 5 days this week
  
• Teach the girls from My Father’s World 5 days this week.  (We did it for 4 days.)
• Have Bookworm practice his multiplication math facts on K5 Learning at least 15 minutes every day
• Read 50 pages this week
• Watch a movie with my husband
• Make at least 3 freezer meals
• Find fun, educational things to do in Boston.  (Any suggestions?)

Work

• Have my blog posts written out from Saturday through Wednesday by Sunday night
• Put up 3 reviews and giveaways this week
• Write 7 staff writing and freelance articles this week

Long-Term Work Goals

These are items that I don’t expect to finish completely this week, but I’m listing them here as a reminder to myself and would like to finish them within 3 to 4 months:

• Organize the recipes on my blog
• Finish my blog redesign
• Finish my writer’s website
• Get a newsletter up and running
• Do my accounting books for July, August, and September
• Research new areas where I could freelance.  (My income is composed of 3 revenue streams, and over the last 5 months, 2 of those revenue streams have proven to be highly unstable.)
• Update my blog categories
