For those tuning into this round my master goals list is here. The list of everyone participating in this round is here. I personally format my check-ins as an after action review, then the setting of intentions/minigoals for the next check-in. Please leave a comment, even if it's not related to the goals I don't mind, it's nice to know that someone sees this page!
I'm very happy and lucky that this is the writing challenge that knows I have a life, because life happened. Had a car accident over the weekend. No one was hurt, but my car will be in the shop for a while, with all of the chaos that such brings. I'll adjust my life and goals accordingly, so that I can continue to take steps forward towards the goals that need it most while still getting life done. AFTER ACTION REVIEW: Big Goals: 1) Eight years of complete, and right before the most recent chaos! 2) Finished typing all of the edits into the computer. It took longer than I was expecting, but it did get done. A spellcheck was completed. Then I changed the font. Remembered to add page numbers, and printed it out again. Winning, with progress on the most important goal! 3) This was a bit of hit and miss with trying to get back into a groove after vacation. I'll continue to work on it, and try to keep at the top of my mind that there are only a few months left until the trip! Nothing like a deadline to make a goal more real! Small Goals: 1) Lowered the price on 20 items and sold a handful more before the end of the month. Kept the spending reasonable while having a good time out and about. To be talked about a bit more in the minigoals. 2) Many emails received that I need to respond to now that I have a moment at my computer. 3) Decided to not continue the audio book in the car. It's a solid 3 stars, but there are so many more 5 star books that I could have in my life. I choose to listen to those instead. I did not watch GoT, instead I watched a couple episodes of Good Omens, which is an absolute delight! 4) I reached out to the mentor and they emailed back! I'm not sure what will come of this new relationship yet, but this is honestly already more than I expected. 5) Actually didn't get to the housework, which was a little surprising since I kept the goal so low and it was all stuff that I wanted to get done to have a cleaner house. But there were real life distractions, plus big goal two took longer to do than I hoped, so that time had to come from somewhere. INTENTIONS/MINI-GOALS Big Goals: 1) STILL DONE! Actually been feeling a little restless with the extra time I have since this is done. It's just such an odd feeling, having time! 2) Review 60/121 pages of the novel for scene content and any remaining major edits. 3) Start the studying streak anew. Study Japanese for 15 minutes per day and write one letter per day. Small Goals: 1) Send out packages Monday morning. I was going to say a lot more about this but really it's simple and I just have some weird baggage about money that I should address at some point soon. I got a raise at work and financially things are looking up and much more in the green than last year. Basically this goal isn't needed anymore and I shouldn't spend much more time on it. But, I do like getting stuff out of the house. And a lot of the eBay stuff took time to put up, but doesn't take time to leave up. So I'm going to coast this out for the rest of the round, keeping to small cash ins and the eBay stuff, while using the time for everything else. 2) Respond to all emails bright and early Monday morning, so they don't sit around turning into frogs. 3) Actually already started a new audiobook (Slaughterhouse-Five). Continue that this week. 4) Parallel with the talking to mentors goal of mine is the goal to be able to ask them good questions to get useful advice. To this effect I got the book Ask More and want to read at least sections of it while talking to mentors. Finish out Good Omens before going back to GoT. Also prep for the DnD campaign I'm hosting this month. 5) With all of the rain I have not been able to get this goal as far as I need to. I'm at the point where I need to figure out if we should hire someone to do all of the major yard work once, so that at least I'm caught up with everything, or if I should pick at most 6 things and make peace with the rest not getting done before the family visits. I'm not sure what the right option is yet. All I can dedicate myself to this checkin is the general cleaning of the house again. For those tuning into this round my master goals list is here.
