1st Quarter Goal Check-In

Sharing is caring!

Here is the list of my 2018 Goals. I think I really DID do a better job of choosing SMART goals this year. Many have ongoing trackers and that is helping me stay accountable.

FAMILY/FRIENDS
Spring Break Cabin Trip (March 23-30) (Watch for upcoming blog posts)
College Avenue Stitchers (1st Saturdays) (3/12)
FlyFests (2nd Saturdays) (3/12)
Knit & Crochet It Forward (2nd Saturdays) (3/12)
YarnSlingers (3rd Tuesdays) (3/12)

HEALTH/FITNESS
Sleep (6 hours/night) (57/90 this Qtr) 63.3% (much better than last year)
Water (6 cups/day) (80/90 this Qtr) 88.9% (better than last year)
Cardio (34/90 this Qtr) 37.7%
Strength (1/90 this Qtr) 1.1%

Tracking really helps me most of the time. Doing much better with sleep and fell off with the water while traveling a bit. Look how my step count totals have gone up each month!

HOUSE
Finish Cleaning Office (no progress yet this year)
Backup Floppy Disks to Iomega Drive (202/434 done)
Paint Table for Porch (not the right season yet)
Master Bedroom (work on it) (no progress yet this year)

FINANCES
Pay Off Car Loan (making monthly payments) (3/12)
Pay Off TAN (making monthly payments) (3/12)
Pay ALL Bills on Time (so far, so good) (3/12)
Save $6,000 for London Trip (not quite 10%)

I just love how this spread turned out. I got carried away coloring in boxes so the ones with single direction lines will be paid this year. I go back and cross them in the other direction after that payment has been made.

GIVING
Donate 36 Crocheted Hats (16 done so far)
Donate $ to NaNoWriMo (November) (no progress yet this year)
Gift Wrap for DAR (December) (no progress yet this year)

I have also added crochet edging to 4 or 5 baby blankets (30″x30″) this year and taught a great group of ladies how to do this as well. All blankets will be gifted to family or charity.

FUN/HOBBIES
Get Family Tree Maker (upgrade from 2006 version) (no progress yet this year)
