It’s hard to plan for the future when you don’t know what will happen in the future. When any number of things could happen between now and then, both good and bad. But you have to plan for something, so why not the future you envision for yourself? Where am I now? (Summer 2004) Age 29 I have one credit card left with $3000 in debt by the end of May. I have a decent enough day job that pays

It's about that time to be thinking of this year's List of 40. I can't believe it's almost Lent already! Didn't we just celebrate Christmas? This year is going to be a bit harder, if only because I'm having difficulty coming up with 40 things to do. I might have to get creative with my list.

Okay, obviously I never did post my new list. In fact, I haven't implemented it yet. Painting and reorganizing took up a lot of my time, but things are starting to settle down again (even though we have one bedroom left to do. I'm working on more lists. I might post them here. We shall see.

So, it's over. Forty days, forty things on my list. And how did I do? Well, the list is not completely crossed off. But I don't think I did a bad job... none of the things left are horribly urgent, in truth. And I've already made a list that starts next week, so... I guess I'm going to consider it a success. :) I lost about seven pounds. That's not bad, considering I took up bike riding halfway

This Wednesday, March 4th, is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. For 40 days, Catholics around the world are invited to make religion a larger part of their lives as we count down to Easter. There are many special programs, prayer groups, and suggestions for how to spend the 40 days of Lent, but the act of giving something up for Lent is one of the most popular. In our hectic lives, the

Haven't updated here in quite some time! The writing my to-do list on my weekly Audubon calendar really seems to be working. At the end of the week, if I didn't get something done it goes on the leftover list, which is on a post-it. So that's not bad. I really have to redo this blog, though. (goes to put it on my list...)

Well, some of the stuff on my list isn't going to get done this week. I'm not about to court frostbite to unearth the rest of my reference books from storage. So that will have to wait. I didn't get much done yesterday. Some stuff, yes, but most of the stuff on my list entailed me getting to storage, and that didn't happen. It won't happen today either; it's snowing. Ah well.

Well. At the mall over the weekend, I stopped at the calendar "store" and all the calendars were $3.00. I found a magnetic poetry calendar (I've always secretly been in love with magnetic poetry) as well as an Audubon appointment calendar. So I've been using the space in the appointment calendar to write my list of things to do every day. Yesterday, I got everything done. Today, I added about

Friday, played with Ethan. All day, or at least most of it. Next week, since it's my last week off before I start the new job, I will have many goals. I have three writing goals (which I've put on WordCount, and I will have others as well. One of those is to keep up the "being active" goal, which will be harder to do once I'm working again. I can't say I've missed the day job in the weeks I've

Okay, in the "be more active" category, Monday--Yoga, Tuesday--moved furniture, Wednesday--played with Ethan (baby weight lifting, you know), Thursday, walked 1 mile with Jessica. I'm doing pretty good this week.

Major New Year's Resolution #1 now crossed off: Get a job that will allow me to pay off my credit cards in six months. I start Jan. 21st. Thank you Lord.

In the goal department, losing some weight will be a priority. In that respect, I'm resolving to do *something* active every day, whether it be an actual exercise, or just walking. I'm also resolving to cut back on the heavy fat food consumption, although I haven't been doing badly in that department.

Goals. New Year's Resolutions. So easily made, so easily broken. I'm going to try my best not to break them this year. I'm still debating whether or not to post them all here, or only a few. By the end of next week, I think. I will decide.

And, now we're down to a day and a half. Tonight's goal is to move through every room and box things up. Gather the boxes in the Living Room so I can pack the car tomorrow when I get back from work. And fit everything that's left in the car, except for what we'll take on Sunday. Hopefully, everything will fit. I'm thinking it will; there aren't that many boxes left, and I only brought my

I got almost everything done in the kitchen today except for mopping the floor. So, not bad. I also brought everything up from the basement to take tomorrow, but I did not get it packed in my car. It started to pour. But at least I won't have to make lots of trips up and down the stairs when I get home from work. I'm just hoping everything fits. It would be nice to completely fill my car this

Waiting... waiting... rushed upstairs to wash my hair in one minute flat... now I'm trying to decide what to do. On my list for today is finishing the kitchen and cleaning up the LR/DR, as well as packing my car with everything I'm taking with me. (Which is mostly everything.) So I need to start on that stuff. I'm waiting to pack my car until last, because I don't want to be outside when the VoA

Okay. All the stuff for the VoA is downstairs in the living room. I get to stare at a huge pile of bags, a chest of drawers, a desk, a chair, the coffee table, and the end table all night long. Joy. Hopefully they will take everything.

Well, tonight has been kitchen packing night. I'm going to start moving the stuff for the VoA as well, I think, if only to have room for my boxes to keep.

Another update... I lost count of bags of garbage, but I bet I've passed 20. 11 bags for the VoA, with a total of 14 (three upstairs.) The only things left to work on are the two craft tables and the magazines on the bookcase. There are a couple of odd shaped things on the other shelves waiting for a suitable box, but otherwise... the basement is done. Done. My. I've been waiting so long to

I'm up to 16 or 17 bags of garbage, not including the two big boxes that I still need to cut down. I'm working on the craft tables now. Hopefully I can take one down today. Or maybe both! That would be nice. :) Currently, I'm taking a short break to let my lower back rest. I haven't been lifting anything terribly heavy today, but I've been bending and stretching a lot, and I can feel it. Of

I took an hour off for lunch, and then went back down around 1pm. Two hours later, I am up to 12 bags of garbage, five bags of clothing and fabric for the VoA, and all I have left to go through are the contents of the two craft tables, my chair, and behind and in front of the bookcase, and break down a bunch of boxes behind the tub where the wash machine used to be. I think I'm doing quite well

Today is basement day. My intention is to have everything left in the basement sorted, packed, and in piles by the time I go to bed tonight. That will give me the rest of the week to take out garbage. I have the Volunteers of America coming on Thursday for the furniture I no longer want, and I need to get everything situated so they won't have any trouble taking it all. I started at the top of

Okay. The Last of the List is upon us... This is the last full week I'll be here. Therefore, I have to make it count, and get just about everything finished, packed, and sorted, so that when I come back here next Sunday evening (for a day and a half) I'm not running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to do too many things at once. So that means this week is list week. And I'm

Finally, a writing-related thing off my list! Budget Cuts is finished. I'm polishing at the moment.

And I took the evening off anyway. I did do the dishes, which weren't on my list, and a couple of other things that didn't make it to my list. I'm still not worried about getting it done. Ask me in two weeks and we'll see if I'm worried or not.

20 days and counting, 17 items left on my list. At least two of those items will be finished by the end of today, and I'm probably taking the evening off to write. I haven't quite decided yet. I'm getting down to the dregs in the basement. I'm very tempted to box everything up and send it all to Goodwill, which I still might end up doing. We shall see. But geez... there's only so much I can go

Well, it's the second day of December, and what do I have to show for it? Out of 35 items on my working list of things to do, I have 18 left. Now, four of those are writing-related, and will be kept until last (unless I finish Budget Cuts any time soon...) Three of those should be finished tonight, I hope; I'm going to try my best, at least. Cleaning the basement is on there twice, since I'm

My list continues to shrink. I have four things to do this evening, and I've done one so far (which isn't wonderful so far, but I'm getting there.) Some things aren't going to be done at all, like posting the rest of the auctions. For various reasons, among them the fact that I've just now gotten caught up with ebay stuff and I'm rather sick of it all at the moment, I'm forgoeing the posting of

I went to bed last night feeling like I'm actually getting somewhere on this list. It's not finished yet, but I'm actually crossing stuff off (cleaning the bathroom, packing more stuff, cleaning the office, doing the dishes, and other stuff I kept putting off that I really needed to do.) I'm working on one of the major procrastinators today, and if I get finished in time, I'm planning to head to

The only way I'm going to get anything done on my list is to leave email and the internet until after I get something done on my list. Last night, I spend 2 1/2 hours on one thing, and didn't get finished until after 11pm, so I haven't had a chance to reply to any email yet. (At least I got it downloaded this morning.) This is seriously the only way. I know myself too well. I'd sit down "for a

Nothing done on the list last night, due to the would-be-disaster that awaited my arrival home last night. With that disaster averted, I intend to work on my list this evening. Tally-ho.

I have my list. It's two pages of the blank notebook I've been using to help remind me of stuff I need to do and get done, but it's not a difficult list, really. The official goal is to get something done on the list every day, so I can cross it off. I think this is doable. In fact, I expect to have at least four things crossed off on my list by the time I go to bed tonight. There are 32 things

One thing that's going on my New Year's Resolution list for 2003: Finish and submit every novel sitting unfinished or unrevised on my desktop. That's... ten. Sheesh. Okay, I'm counting HD and F&W, which are finished and revised, but not submitted. Do I have ten publishers to send everything to? My.

While I'm thinking of it, just to write down my thoughts: Goal #1: To support myself on my writing income How to? 1. Get rid of extraneous debt --- Find a day job that pays enough to pay off the cc's in 6 months. --- Don't ever get into the credit card trap again. --- Keep on top of bills, and don't get in over my head ever again. --- Remember how it feels to be stretched so thin you can't

I'm working on re-doing my goals (on the side, there) and making them a bit easier to implement. Stay tuned.

I might as well update almost everything at once, here... I'm working on writing goals right now, and where I want to be by Jan. 2004. My moving goals/getting a job goals/etc. still stand, and I'm working on getting caught up (for the last time) with ebay as well. I'm contemplating whether to post the lots like I intended to. I think I might; it still would mean less to pack and move. And I'm

Okay. I've eliminated some goals (I didn't have to worry about the truck anymore, and the Goal specifically for Chris wasn't applicable anymore.) So I'm down to five. Five major goals. Once I get a job, I have a budget already written out to eliminate the credit cards in six months. Then that goal would change to: Stay out of debt. Or, at the least, live within my means. Should this be hard?

Haven't updated here for a while. I'm in the process of updating my Goals (on the side, there), so expect them to be changing soon.

Currently, I'm in the process of getting all the laundry washed and dried. I have one load left to wash, and then I have to dry the rest, and go from there. I'm also in the process of cleaning off my desk. (Stopped for a few minutes to eat lunch.) Since this list is applicable for tomorrow as well, I think I'm doing pretty well so far. I'm going to try to get my desk done by 2:30 and then decide

Things to do tomorrow: Not get a headache/eyestrain at work, so I can concentrate on computer stuff here. *sigh*

And I just couldn't resist; I found a small stack that mostly had pictures already posted, and did them as well. I have 263 auctions running. Yikes.

DONE! The book auctions are posted. Much rejoicing. Now I get to go write up some more... ack. I'm going to make a special trip to the PO first, though, just because I'm a nice person.

Oh my lord. I have 55 books left to post. Why does this seem like a huge number?!? I had 210 to post before... *sigh* I guess it just seems like I've been posting these all weekend, which is basically true. Had to cross something off my list undone; I couldn't print out what I needed here, so I'm going to have to wait until I get to work tomorrow. (It was the job application stuff for the job I

Well, I'm back to the list. Obviously didn't get as much done as I wanted to, thanks to Chris, but I didn't do too badly. First thing this morning is to get the book auctions posted. I think I'm going to sit here and post them until they're finished.

I am *still* in the bedroom. Ack. Chris came home and was a bastard for a good two hours. I didn't get much done while he was being stupid. And actually, I'm not sure if he's coming back or not tonight. Hmm. Anyway, I'm headed to the bedroom again, to finish up packing the box I'm almost done with and to put clean sheets on the bed.

I'm still in the bedroom, as well as the office. I accidently updated DisOrganization instead of this blog. Oops. Had a nice lunch of vegetable bean chili (cleaning out the freezer) and bread from Panera. Back to work.

21 auctions later, I'm going to go clean the bedroom. Cleaning the bedroom's on tomorrow's list, but I'm trying to do quick-ish stuff in between the auctions until I get them done. Oh, yes. No, I'm not forgetting; I do have to go to the PO today, so I will have to get dressed eventually. (Just in case you're an ebay winner wondering if I've lost my mind. Never fear.)

And I'm back. I've eaten breakfast, but I'm not getting dressed for a little while, I think. It's not like I have to go somewhere, after all. *g* To hold off boredom, I'm going to do the same thing I tried last night: Post 20 or so auctions, then go do something else on my list, then post 20 or so more, etc., etc., until I'm finished. And I have plenty more to do today. My list has been

Okay. *yawn* My eyes are drooping. I can't type. I'm tiiiired. I'm up to 100 active auctions. Did the dishes. I'm going to bed. I will try for an all-nighter tomorrow night, after I get a good night's sleep. That sounds good to me.

90 active auctions, and I'm only on the D's. *sigh* Ah well. I will get them done eventually. Going to do the dishes now.

Laundry is folded and put away. One thing marked off my list. Yay. And I'm getting tired. Of course. I don't think I'm going to last for an all-nighter, at least not tonight, but I will, however, get 20 more auctions posted, the dishes done, and 20 more auctions posted before I go to bed. So. Onward.

So. Evidently I can post about 20 auctions every 30 minutes. That makes about 40 auctions an hour. Let's see. I had 210 auctions left to post... that would be... 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish them up. Umm. That's way too slow, dammit, but I can't do much about that. It takes time to upload the text from the QuickPad to the screen. Time to delete the file, switch back to the keyboard, attach

This weekend's list is fairly simple: 1. Post Rest of Book Auctions 2. Write Up More Auctions 3. Take Photos of More Auctions 4. Post More Auctions (sense a theme here?) 5. Pack Stuff in Basement 6. Do the Dishes 7. Paperwork!! I'm sure I'll revise that list a little, but there really isn't much else to do. I'd like to have the rest of the auctions posted (except, perhaps, the clothing,

Yes, I've been remiss in updating this... most of the news is over at DisOrganization. At least there are empty shelves in the basement right now. However long that will last, I'm not sure, but... :)

Okay. It's been far too long since I updated here... I've been horribly busy, it seems, but I don't have much to show for it. I'm taking the day off today, though, and I have a list. I'm going to see how much of that list I can get done by noon. (Hopefully at least half.) On my list: Clean out inbox Pack rest of stuff for PO Take stuff to PO Rearrange auction stuff in basement Post

Yes, well... it took me longer than I thought to do post office stuff, so I don't think I'll make it to 200 tonight. I would have to stay up far too late. Oh well. *g*

Over on my main blog, DisOrganization, I said my unofficial goal was to have 200 active auctions posted at one time. Well, I'm seven away from that goal, and while I have to stop for a bit to pack some stuff for the PO, I'm fairly certain I'll hit 200 tonight. I mean, seven auctions is nothing. Wow. 200 auctions. Ack. So, go bid!

I have a list for today as well. The items I didn't get done yesterday are on the list for today, and they will be put on the "list for today" until I get tired of looking at them and do them. Actually, I would very much recommend a goal notebook. This is really working well. I haven't added any tabs today yet, but there's always that possibility. Hmm. Maybe I should write a book about

I've been working on my list of things to do, and trying my best to choke the QuickPad. So far, it remains unchoked. *g* I now have a Goal Notebook, to keep everything straight. It has dividers like "Short Term", "Long Term", "Keeping Track", and "Thoughts and Ideas" in it. The front will house my daily to-do list. And it's working well, so far. The notebook is small enough for me to keep in my

I have a list, and I'm not afraid to use it. There are ten things on my list of things to do today, well, eleven if you count baking a loaf of bread. I'm going to try to get all of them done today, so we'll see if that works. Since I'm without transportation, I can't up and leave for a drive in the country, however much I'd like to. The trick will be not to get caught into writing all day, of

I've been packing and posting relist auctions, but no new ones yet. Making out my list of what I want to take with me. Fretting. Crying. You know, the usual. I swear. If I could sell all the rights to one of my series for $20,000, I think I would do it in a heartbeat. I would sacrifice my characters for financial peace of mind. I really would. It would hurt, but... I wouldn't have this constant

My three page goal list is about to expand, I think. I'm actually going to keep a goal notebook for this; it will be easier to keep things straight if I have something solid to write in. I will use the Visor as well, but the main goal list will be on paper. (Yes, some things should be on paper.) Look for it here too, perhaps over on the sidebar or something. I haven't decided yet. ------------

I have quite the long list to do today/tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm going to get most of it done; I'm planning to spend a couple of hours listing auctions for starters and then go from there. But I'll post updates here as I go along.

Yes, yes. I know. A grocery run pretty much destroyed my list of things to do, not to mention talking with Chris and finding out that the kitchen took about three times as long as I expected. Never fear. There's always tomorrow.

Still almost done. I have the microwave to clean out, and then I get to put everything back on the white shelves. (Had a long conversation with Chris. An actual conversation. And I have news. But I will share it later.)

Well, cleaning the whole kitchen, top to bottom, is taking a bit longer than I thought. I have one set of shelves left to clean off, and then the floor, and then I'm done. Thank goodness. I even cleaned out the fridge. And that's saying something. So I'm revising; I hope to be done with downstairs by noon. Then I'll eat lunch and write for an hour before I move on to the next thing on my list.

I have a rather long list for today--we'll see how well I do. I'm aiming to have the downstairs clean by 11am. So check back to see if I succeed or not. :)

1. Pay car insurance 2. Post auctions (rest of books on desk?!?) 3. Get stuff ready for PO 4. Go to PO? 5. Mail Chris' car payment 6. Put checks/MOs in envelope for Chris to take to bank 7. Check Keybank and transfer Paypal funds into savings acct. if they have cleared. 8. Write F&W (after 9pm, unless other things are done.)

More auctions, but right now I'm writing a bit. I think this weekend's goal (especially after I get home tomorrow) will be the books, and I will concentrate on the clothes next week. I didn't realize how many books I had left to post. *g*

I still have 17 books sitting here; I went to see Signs and just now got back. So I'm debating whether to post or write yet tonight. Hmm.

I've already posted lots of auctions this evening, and I'm still at it. I don't have a specific goal other than over 100 active auctions, and I'll make that in a minute or two here. Tomorrow, though... 1. Post clothes auctions 2. Post rest of book auctions that already have pictures

At least tomorrow is Friday, and I can concentrate on auctions as soon as I get home. I have some really good ones, here. I figure... I found them once. I'll find them again. Can't do much more than that.

Almost 50 auctions later, I think I quit for the evening. I have two stacks of books here to post tomorrow night, as well as a bunch down the basement. I might be up late tomorrow. And now, I'm going to write for a bit.

Tonight is auction night. I don't have to go to the PO, so I'm going to weed and photograph and post, probably in that order.

The only thing I accomplished tonight is going to the PO. FictionWorks emailed and needed a photo, bio, and blurb for Second Coming, so I had to zip that out and send it along. This might actually mean the book will be published soon! Yay. I hope. *crossing fingers*

Tomorrow's list: 1. Auctions 2. Relists, but combine the auctions that haven't sold after one relist attempt. 3. Write, but only after 9pm. ------------- I took tonight off. For more than one reason; I needed a mental health night and I got sucked into Fire and Water. Last spring, I told Mom that I wanted everything I owned to fit in the back of my truck, minus furniture. I'm going to aim

That said, today's list: 1. Auctions 2. Labels for PO 3. Go to PO 4. Grocery 5. Dishes/Kitchen Floor 6. Laundry (ongoing) Actually, auctions are ongoing as well, so I think I'm going to put them on the list twice. 7. More auctions 8. Write

Goals, Goals, Goals. I know I said I'd post new goals on Friday, and obviously I didn't get there. I really like the idea of the seven major goals, and I intend to stick with the ten weekly goals. But. (Of course there's a but. There's always a but.) The #1 Goal right now and until October is to make enough money to buy my truck. Everything else is secondary, even writing. I say this because:

I am revising my weekly goals, starting Friday. Just to let everyone know.

Looking forward... Goals for next week: (Each Goal I post has to touch on the seven Ultimate Goals to the right. There will be ten goals per week. Goals I don't get finished in the week will be carried over to the next week until they are finished. Some goals are going to repeat every week, without fail.) 1. Post auctions on ebay (Minimum: 20 per day, more on weekends) (Goals 2, 3, 6) 2.

Looking back... Ugh. I sucked. Big time. While I did manage to get a little bit done, I didn't get nearly as much done as I should have. Ugh.

Looking back... Well, I didn't do too badly on my first week of goals. I posted auctions (not as many as I wanted to, but I was sick two days), I started to get caught up by finishing certain books and asking for the rest of others. I didn't, however, get to a couple of things, and therefore, those items will stay on the list for next week. So, therefore...

Looking back... Since there were no goals set for last week, I can't really look back. But I can admit I didn't get much done to further my Ultimate Goals at all. Hopefully next week will be different.

This will be my Goal Blog. I will update every Friday and see if I have or have not gotten closer to my goals in the past week.
