Goals review

Here were my May goals and my success percentage in each one:

• Personal stuff: happiness project 5%
• Healthy living: 20 minutes workout every day 95% (until my IUI, after it I didn't take the risk) and track food at least 15 days in the month 0%
• Job: create procedures and routines 20%
• Finances: check with banks to see if we can set up a better system (fees, practical side, ...) 50%
• Housework and organisation: reformat computer 100% and practice evening routines 50%

 Well, that's far from great, but as FlyLady says: progress, not perfection!

Here are my goals for June:

• Personal stuff: happiness project let's try this again!
• Healthy living: 20 minutes workout every day (unless I'm post IUI)
• Job: create procedures and routines
• Finances: long term stuff
• Housework and organisation: practice evening routine and digi-decluttering

It's gonna be a busy month at work, but I can do this!

The softwares were crashing one after the other, so this weekend DBF and I (well, mostly DBF) finally got it clean, reinstalled Windows and almost all softwares... Pfew, it wasn't fun neither quick, but it feels good no that it's done! Anyway, I've spent too many hours in front of a screen to feel like blogging about my weekly plan tonight! Hope you had a great weekend!

2010 resolutions

Yeah, I know we're in May, I haven't lost my mind... well, not completely at least! It's just that, as many many people, I took some New Year's resolutions, and still as many many people, I tend to forget about those on January 15th! To avoid that, I've broken my resolutions in monthly goals, which are much easier to track and hence stick to!

Here are my goals for May:

• Personal stuff: happiness project
• Healthy living: 20 minutes workout every day and track food at least 15 days in the month
• Job: create procedures and routines
• Finances: check with banks to see if we can set up a better system (fees, practical side, ...)
  
• Housework and organisation: reformat computer and practice evening routines

How cool!

I've finally finished to back up all the stuff I had on my computer (old RSS reader, evernote, documents, scrap) and I'm ready to reformat it and start fresh. It was really acting crazy recently so that is really necessary!

Oh, and I even completely decluttered my e-mail inbox! Woohooooo!
