I love New Years Eve - the idea of starting fresh gets me excited! I love it! I love goal setting, I love reading about people who reach their goals, I cry when I read or watch stories about people who have a dream and achieve it,  I LOVE it!!!

So then what the hell happened to me last year?

I got a message from godaddy.com that my url (makemytodolist.com) was going to expire. They started emailing me a few months ago.  I was simply not ready to commit. Now, I am. I don't care who reads this blog - I now see it simply as my outlet to document my progress.

I cannot say that I fully accomplished last years goals. Well, I did have a less chaotic home by following the flylady's plan. Definitely still room for improvement but much, much better. If you have a home that needs help - I encourage you to go to www.flylady.net and check her out.

Where I did set very specific, smart goals I succeeded. I have more social media clients and just got another inquiry today for my service! I take that as an omen for a positive, prosperous year.

Last year I set a goal to pay off a credit card. To start off I set a goal to create a budget. I did! The problem, I got so caught up in the to do list I forgot to create a SMART goal  to take me to the next step! I need goals! I need small achievable goals that create momentum!

Where do I go from here? What is my plan for 2012?  I did see a ton of improvement last year. Fact is, you will get more done with a to do list than without. On days I did not have a written to do list  I suffered!

What I can say is you have to continually set goals and focus on those goals daily and weekly. I did get caught up in the daily to do list, BUT  it's LIFE and  there is always something to do!. Let's face it - life gets busy and those to dos can take over your life until you feel like you are simply a machine crossing things off your list. I got burnt out with to much to do on the to do list!

What I have not done is lost faith in Chalene Johnson's plan to reach the goals you want to accomplish. I purchased and received her book a couple weeks ago. That is where I begin. My focus this year will be to simply follow this book and its theory of how to achieve "a bangin' and the life you deserve" word for word. I give it up to you Chalene.

Here we go. Welcome 2012. I am ready.

Day 305 - 316 Where have I been?

If anyone is reading this blog than you might think I have given up. I have not. Yes, I have hit a bump. I have not been without a TDL for the last week plus. I have scribbled my TDL on paper and busted through. Was is the the best way to manage my day and what I needed to do. No. I got things done I needed to do but it left a lot to be desired for long term goal setting.

My question to myself was this - why have I been so resistant to post my TDL. Sit down like I have for months this year. Easy answer. I do not feel like I am hitting my goals. Which means something simple. I am doing something wrong.

Where do I go from here? Onward to success! That is where! I have managed to make my home much more chaos free. It will never be perfect and I am ok with that. I have not made a dent in my financial situation. I am not using credit cards but that debit I do have has barely moved. The ONE thing I can make sure happens this year is to lose the 30 lbs. I lost 17 - gained back 8 (major feet issues) - I still have 22 to lose. I can not go into the new year with that goal. It is my only goal from now til January 1. My ONLY GOAL!

First step: Call doctor tomorrow. I need another cortison shot for my feet.
Step 2: Turbo Fire

Every post from this day until January 1 will be about reaching my goal of losing that 22 lbs. Come hell or highy water it will be done!

Day 295 - 304 What the hell?

What the hell is my problem? I cannot seem to get it together lately. Just so you know I have not been completely void of TDL's in my life this last week I did not post. I have jotted things down on paper and marked them off. I guess that is ok. More to come later. I have a busy rest of the day and need to write down a few TDL's to make sure I get through without losing my mind!

Day 294: Monday

TurboFire Review:

Core 20 - Loved this workout. Working my abs and core are my least favorite thing to do. This 20 minute workout flew by! The first 10 minutes is completed by standing and using a band. The second 10 minutes are done on the floor. I completed this workout on Sunday. I was sore on Monday!

Fire 45 - Wow! This workout is so much fun! This particular workout was easy to modify if you need to be careful or are not ready for lots of jumping. I love that Chalene encourage fun and some dance moves! The 45 minutes went super fast.

I have to take my before pics. I am one week into the program. I want to see the before and afters!

Day 241: Prioritizing To Do's with Goals

Always lots to do! Working to get back to focusing on big picture goals. It is so tough not to get pinned down with the little things day in and day out. I think I need a sign above my desk that makes me focus on the big picture. If I don't focus on the "high level goals" all I get done is the time suckers. Yes, those things need to completed but I have to prioritize.

I am:

• Committing to writing top 10 goals every Tuesday.
• Marking with an * if it a To Do that cooresponds to achieving those goals.

One thing I have learned so far with this process - it that it takes practice and constant effort to make the most of the TDL. Sticking with it!

What should my sign say for my desk? I need a constant reminder.

TIP: Found this great site to make your own grocery list! It is very cool. You can check off from a prepopulated list add additional items. You simply hit submit and then it populates your entire list! Very cool.

Day 235: make your to do list today

Summer seems to be going by at lightening fast speed! Maybe I should just get used to the fact life just does not slow down. Grocery's always need to be purchased, laundry always needs to be done, extra expenses always rear their ugly head. All you can do it go at each day systematically - making your to do list and getting it all (or as much as you can) done or as much as you can being sure to take the time to have some fun and just be.

The to do list had helped me to keep the chaos away. One of the biggest points to Chalene Johnson's plan is to weekly focus on your overarching goals. I have not been doing that at all. I think it is effecting my progress. I am going to go back and listen to her goals video on her 30 day to do challenge series.

Wow - what a crazy end of week. Beginning Thursday until Saturday evening.

Because of a crazy Thursday - Saturday I made one TD today:

Sunday: Relatives in Town - Enjoy the day with them.

Back to exercise tomorrow. Going to make my Monday TDL in the morning. Just need a break. When I tell you I worked my butt off this weekend - I did! Need some mental downtime this evening.

Recover...workout and repeat pain. Last week after doing step class I could barely walk by end of day. I literally crawled to bed with tears because the pain was so bad. I have a chronic case of plantar fasciitis. I am giving myself a week of not doing anything then hoping to go back to my CLX workouts. I am going to try some pilates classes in the meantime to keep the load off. New flash: Listen to your body!

The Weekend: Organization

Saturday:

1. Call A and head on over to work (could be all day so can't plan anything else)

It was all day - 9:30 - 4:30. I was hired by a woman to help organize her basement. She has bad knees and just wanted someone to come in and help be the legs of the process. I am not an "organizer" by trade (hence the FlyLady) BUT I can work! All she needed was someone to put in an honest day. There are so many opportunities out there ... JUST DO IT!

Sunday:

1. Church - Missed church...slept him.
2. Workout
3. Monday TDL - C

Decided to skip the workout. I know that is so BAD!! BUT I was inspired by yesterdays work to get some stuff completed in my basement. I cleaned out under the stairs. This area in my house is where I store off season clothing. It needed to be organized so I could finally put away winter clothes and finally put away summer clothes. I am going to say running the steps, lifting boxes etc. are today's workout. This was a much needed to do. And now it is done! Whoot! whoot! I have two bags to go out the door for donation!

BTW - Found a ton of mouse poop under my stairs storage area!! GROSS!! All vacuumed up and clean now.

Day 214: Friday

Glad the week is coming to an end and the weekend is here. The week has flown by and I got a lot done including a meeting with a potential client!! Love that!

I have been very bad ...I have not scheduled my workouts!! What the heck? The result...I have not done my workouts!! Well, I can't have that now can I? Starting tomorrow - back to putting my workouts on the TDL. I was so good when doing the ChaLEAN Extreme program start to finish. I got all crazy when I thought I was cool enough to do whatever workout I wanted. I am just not at that phase yet to be so self motivated to do whatever workout.

Starting tomorrow I am doing a Shakeology cleanse and scheduling workouts. I am down 15...I have to achieve my goal of 30 lbs this year! Can't stop now.

Day 205: To Do List Today

I did not get everything I needed to accomplish done yesterday. BUT...Good things happened!

First - How did I get sidetracked? It was the last day of school for my son and my daughter went to a  "schools out for summer" party. She is 4 - so I had to stay. It is fun to watch her have a blast with friends doing kid things like playing in water and on a swing set. I can't say no to that and I was there longer than I anticipated.

When I got home I felt horrible - I have been fighting a migraine. I had to take it easy. I just can't focus on to do list and work when I am trying to manage a major headache. I will give myself a break. With that said I did take care of items that were time sensative.

I got a call from a new client who is going to hire me to do their social media work!! yay!! That has been something I have been working to do - b/c it keeps me working from home and ups my income!!

Now I have three things to accomplish...I am finishing today...
from this comes my next To Do Lists.

1. Braindump update for party event. - C
2. CFA Braindump - C (still in progress)
3. Facebook braindump - next steps with NEW CLIENT!!! - C (now finalize in professional format)

(these three will guide the rest of the month)

Lastly - If time permits today (otherwise it goes on the Thursday TDL) I am going to do a general plan/schedule for summertime work/activity. I want to maximize the time between work and play with my kids now that school is out.

Have a good day!

Day 204: Tuesday To Do List

Today I have one main goal and a few must do's! A lot of planning today will go a long way tomorrow and the rest of the month! I have an event I am planning for Saturday, July 9. Kids finish school this week, family will come into town, I want to hang at the pool and beach. To do it all...well planned project to do list is a must.

I have to admit one other thing falling through the cracks - I am not make goal list. I know this is hurting me. It is a weekly staple in Chalene Johnson's plan. I am going to restart the 30 day challenge. I have incorporated so much but think it is time for a refresher course.

Tuesday, TDL:

1. Update party/pre-party tdl - C (still inprogress)
2. Write any last tdl's for DDDN and schedule this week.

Day 201-203 Over the weekend and Monday

I do not usually create a large tdl for the weekend. This weekend was no different. I had a few work items to take care of and then simply wanted spend time with family. Mission accomplished. Sunday, I met with a client (I am overseeing a private party for her) and created a brainstorm list of to do's in regards to prepping for the party. I have to sit down today and organize this massive list into an organized plan. That is a priority so nothing falls through the cracks.

Monday got underway with a meeting and then a migraine hit. Ugh. I did get a frog off my plate in the morning! I wasted time b/c I had planned to come home and write down the tdl after my morning meeting. Had I written my list the day before I would have not missed a few things that caused me time because I had to come home to grab.  Whereas I like writing my to do list in the morning - it works better for me if I write it at night so I can look at the day as a whole and list out "items" needed to accomplish certain tasks. And figure in where certain activities work best in the day.

I have got to write down today's tdl and stick to it! If I want to have all the fun and accomplish projects on needed to be accomplished by certain dates this next month it is imperative I am on the tdl!

Day 198: It is all in the details

I wrote my must do to do list night. I got everything on the list completed. I wasted time due to not being more detailed! For example: I had to drop stuff off at work and completely left a few things at home b/c they might not necessary been a priority today but would have saved me time in the long run if I thought it through.

Not writing down your to do's will always lead to forgetting or not completing something. Be sure to think through details when your life involves juggling multiple balls!

Good example this morning: I had to finalize an order for invitation for a party I am being paid to organize for a client. I have been working with my local Hallmark. I thought I would simply drop my son at school and head down the store. Problem...the store opened at 10:00. I was sitting in the front parking lot at 9:15. I did not want to drive back home and then come right back out. I had to get this done early. I did use the time to grab a breakfast smoothie with my daughter and sit outside for a bit. I really enjoyed that time! :) We had fun.

Just be sure to think things through. This includes grocery list!

Day 194/195: Weekend Fun!!!

Weekend Fun!

A few months back I wrote about a decision to stop working on an event I plan every year. Now that I am into spring and would be one month away from that event I cannot begin to tell you all how great that decision was. I am enjoying spring SO MUCH! Usually at this point I am irritable and stressed. I have enjoyed my spring, my garden and time with my family. 

I took my son to a birthday party today. I thought for one brief second that I would be irritable and agitated if I was under the stress of managing this event. I was able to spend the entire time at the birthday party just being with my son and enjoying every second of it! The party was at the roller skating rink. This was my sons first time skating. I had to help him. It was so much fun!! Loved it. Laughed a lot!

Great decision to nix the extra job. Bottom line. Don't be afraid to ditch what does not feel right for you life and sanity!

On another subject. I wrote that I was going to do an article on professionalism. As I began to think about this I realized it is NOT one article - it is many! It is not necessary confined to professionalism but general etiquette. Maybe a first article warrants my overview of my thoughts on the subject. I have many subpoints to my thoughts on this matter. First being, CELL PHONES!!

Day 177: Professionalism

Over the last few weeks a topic keeps coming up that I think warrants a post. Professionalism.
I attended a leadership conference a few weeks ago and one of the speakers discussed professionalism. He made a great point - it does not matter if you are the guy/girl that takes out the garbage or the owner of a business - you must be professional.

I had a conversation with a woman last night about a person she hired that is not acting professional. For example: Constantly texting, walking around without shoes on in the office.  This person is very young. It got me thinking how are we teaching out kids about professionalism when we really live in an everything goes society?

I have added to my push goals to write an article and get it published somewhere to help educate young kids entering the workforce how to be professional.   I really think it is so important! Who knows where the job market will be in the future. The difference between getting the job you want or need may just be how professional you are!

I had two big to do's: Meeting at CFA (2.5 hrs.) and a meeting with a client I am planning a party for (3.5 hrs) In between I took care of little to do's!

Day 175: Monday, Monday....Bah-da bah-da-da-da

Monday morning! Is there never a busy week? I don't think so. Ready to rock the week.
As I plan this weeks "to do's" I am really focusing on maximizing the day in the best way. For example - Mapping out certain activities at the best point of the day to maximize the hours in the day.

We all have 24 hours in a day - no more - no less. How do I maximize those 24 hours?
