Daily goals, motivation and check in

Daily goals, motivation and check in

I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Good morning all,

6am here and I'm up early after a relatively unbroken sleep. I have an unusually social day ahead:

  • tai chi with first friend at 8.30am (my first time)
  • ring mum (interstate)
  • ring second friend (returning call for chat)
  • ring third friend and visit her
  • do dishes and clean benches
  • change sheets
  • washing

Social is the priority today. We'll see how much of the household stuff I actually get to!

Hope today unfolds in a good way for everyone.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi there @Mazarita 🙂 that sounds like a big day! Hope you're enjoying it!

Today for me looked to be a struggle this morning but as the day has unfolded it's turned out ok. I shifted from "survive the day" to "enjoy the day". I'm currently sitting under our beautiful shady apricot tree watching daredevils 2 and 3 sharing a lollipop (that I have no idea where from 😕 ) while taking a break from riding scooters and bikes over a ramp. Taller and bigger daredevil is on a teeny tiny bike and the tiny little daredevil is on a huge scooter. It's kind of ridiculously hilarious and they're having fun which is nice. No broken bones yet so it's a win all round.

My plan for the rest of the day is to tidy up the lounge room after the weekend of movie campouts, then do the school lunches for the week and get the kids to bed early enough to watch MaFS (if I can stomach it), sneaking in some reading if I get a chance in between it all.

Hope you are all having a nice day 🌞

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Today my challenge is to rest. Everywhere I look there are things to be done, but my toe is sore and letting me know I have to be off it for a while, and my head is fuzzy and telling me it would like a nap.

Sitting here waiting for techs who haven't turned up .... grrr ... even though the word was they wanted to start early.

Only one baby dragon has surfaced, and I am tempted not to disturb the other two, but in the interests of keeping their main sleep in the night hours, I'm going to have to ....

Will be running raids on the housekeeping in between.

Hi @Former-Member

Great that your day has turned into 'enjoy the day'! I get that too sometimes. I wake up terribly groggy and feel sure I'm not going to be able to do a thing all day. Then sometimes, slowly, finding myself doing this and that. And it can then sometimes build a bit of momentum. But your day sounds busy to me! Love your story about watching your 'daredevils' play.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi all,

Today...

  • dress, wash, breakfast
  • meet friend in late morning
  • dishes
  • washing
  • change sheets
  • shower

I keep trying to do the domestic tasks, not getting them done and shunting them to the next day. I hope they get done at some point!

Hope today is a good one for all.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Fresh sheets - not much nicer than them @Mazarita 🙂

Hope you're able to knock a couple of those tasks off today.

I'm going to have to think of my goal/s today. The little people will be at school and I have nothing at all planned. I think it might be a long-weekend recovery for me day today.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

@Mazarita. I hope you have a good time with your friend 😊 Everything else is just a bonus 😉

@Former-Member. Sounds like a relaxing time is a good thing after a long weekend. Am I making a correct assumption that you have 3 boys? Your stories of your kids are reminding me of mine a lot which is actually a nice thing for me. I very much related to the bigger kid on the smaller one and vice versa.

@Former-Member. I hope your day and challenges go well. Hoping the weathers not too rough your way.

@TAB. I think I'll have to start on getting my spare tyre fixed too....the one around my middle. I've put on some weight in the last month or two spending so much time in bed and eating badly. I hope you tick some boxes too.

I'm going to need a leg up today. I didn't make it to tafe 😖 I need to pull my house and life together somehow. I'm asking my forum friends to help refocus me if I need and kick me off the forum if it's apparent I'm spending too much time here getting distracted. I have lots of rooms in my house to sort out and furniture to move with very little energy still but more that yesterday and a better headset for now although I know I'll fall into panic from time to time.
