I have struggled all throughout this pregnancy to get things accomplished in a timely and orderly fashion. I make my "To Do" list every night or early morning and then proceed to maybe do one to five things (based on my nausea/energy) for the day. There were quite a few good days throughout the summer and a few this fall, but overall, it's been quite discouraging to consider how little "get-up-and-go" I have in me (this is even more true in this 3rd trimester). I've been a long-time reader of Money Saving Mom and she has been posting on Mondays her 10 Weekly Goals. I really like this idea. Now 10 might be too much for me in this stage of pregnancy, but I'm still going to try. I like that they are "goals." The word doesn't feel as constraining and I know if I don't get to them all, it won't be the end of the world. I know that 3rd trimester is just a season and there will come a day when I regain my boundless energy (I can hope, right?!!!) and my nausea will fade to just a distant memory. Pregnancy Goals:
1. Continue reading The Jesus Storybook Bible to the little guy each night
2. Relaxation/labor practice each day
3. Finish reading Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way
4. Set up interviews with pediatricians
Personal Goals:
5. Exercise twice a day (no matter how little) for 5 days this week
6. Finish reading A Thousand Gifts
7. Morning Bible reading/prayer before I turn on the computer
Home Management Goals:
8. 15 Minutes of Decluttering each day
9. Spend 10 minutes/day picking up the entryway, dining room, living room
10. Get budget caught up and have budget meeting w/Ciaran
