Goodbye September - I'm ready for October!

I had ambitious goals for September and I would estimate I achieved about 50%, did some of about 25% and didn't start on the others. The list was too long, too ambitious and contained things I didn't see as priorities. Still, overall I'm happy with what I did do in September.

And even happier that I am going to set areas of challenge and not goals for October. I am going to challenge myself to:
- I will exercise more with and without the dog.
- Before spending money on anything but regular monthly bills, I will ask seriously "Do I need this now or can it wait?" or "Do I want this really badly now or can it wait?" or "What could I do instead of spending this money?"
- I will live with my Project 333 wardrobe - I created one for our warm fall weather and when it decides to get colder I have another list of 33 to use.

That is it! I want to socialize more. I want to lose more weight. I want to declutter more. I will be raking leaves (counts as exercise right?). I will be working some and traveling for work mid-month. I will see the dentist and orthodontist, have a physical and get a flu shot. We will go to a play that was part of my birthday present and we have some free concerts on the schedule. I will get a haircut and may get the dog groomed. We hope to go hiking with friends. I will be doing lots of things, but those are my three October challenges.

How do you focus your efforts and intentions?

    1. Thanks Pam. I think you have been more diligent with your exercising than I have!

  2. Very ambitious -- sounds like you're gonna be one busy person in October. We have a graduation, not much else. I'm starting this week in a Ping Pong club ... we'll see how that goes. But success or failure, it'll probably make a blog post!

    1. A Ping Pong club sounds interesting. Hope it is fun. By the way if I'm not busy I feel down. This is average for me.

Making a home inventory - why do we own so much!?

I’m in the midst of updating our home inventory for insurance purposes and hoping we never need it and wanting to just get rid of tons more ...
