I love your tips Singer!! I will apply them to my goal too. I think I'll save your list on my phone and read it once a day to keep me focused.
So my goal started today. I think I've told everyone about it before but here it is specific and measurable (that's what all the goal setting blogs / articles say to do).
GOAL #1: Do one chore each night after dinner and meal plan on Saturday mornings.
Sun - Laundry
M - Kitchen
T - Living Room
W - Bedroom
Th - Bathroom
F - Hallway / Pantry
Sat - Beauty Night (take a day off and pamper myself as a reward for all my hard work!)
I have three weeks to do this everyday and then I will treat myself to a manicure & pedicure at the nail shop. I have a calendar white board to track my progress on and will mark a star on each day if I accomplish my goal.
I'm telling you all of this so you can keep me accountable. I'll post back on how it's going in a week or so.
