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. 😊

Note* Ive just started this thread again so it will be visible. Once I deleted my account it no longer shows up.

please join in again if and when needed.

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Last night I was hovering around this thread trying to come back to it @frog. I think you just inspired me to come back to it.

Today im going to try something new for me.

Ive broken my list into parts

  • a housework job
  • a personal job (like cleaning my room)
  • plan and organise food and make sure it’s healthy
  • a leisure/hobby thing for me
  • a health thing (going for a walk)
  • something (it will be very small) towards my goal of volunteering then work
  • an outside job

Not sure how I’ll go but will give it a spin 😄

Good luck for anyone else trying to motivate themselves today.

My big aim today is to stay sane with son2 hovering over me as he has been all morning .... wont get much done unfortunately but spending time with son2 and reassuring him that he is doing fine probably is the best goal that I could possibly have.

Sounds like a good plan @Bunniekins, staying sane is always a good goal 😄. I hope s2 gets what he needs so you can have some pea time too 💜🤗

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

I like that approach @Teej how did you go?

I got a bit waylayed becauuse my debit card got hacked. I got texts from the bank and thought *they* were scamming me It took about an hour to sort out and my card is no more (it had been 'compromised' ha!) so I have to wait for another one and then sort out direct debits etc. I didn't get my mopping done, but it's not going anywhere and there's always tomorrow.

Hoping you're still sane-ish @Bunniekins

@frog Hi

it kind of went ok. I didn’t get to the work towards volunteering stuff and not as many house jobs as I would have liked, but I did stay motivated all day and got to tick lots of boxes. Dog was walked too which was a good thing.

Sounds very annoying about your card. Think mopping can wait too. At least your card got done ✅

Hi @Tufftimes

This is a good thread to visit to help keep some stability when things are going a bit haywire at home.

I haven’t done anything with the house today.

I bought a takeaway coffee from a local cafe when I got up this morning, then put it down somewhere in the house and couldn’t remember where ..... remembered later when I was on a tram heading to an appointment.

A tradesman came to see to some broken blinds. The house was a mess, but he wasn’t coming to see the house, and he could still find the blinds amongst it all, so all good 👍. It will be tidier when he comes back, cos it won’t be just after our Easter with 9 of us in the house .....

Finished my apt but didn’t have anyone to stay with D2, so she came with me, and we had some lunch in a nearby garden before coming home.

Had a call from D3 at uni ..... she left something at home that she needs a photo of sent to her.

Hmmmm ...... feeling tired but as though I haven’t really done anything today.

I have walked 2.2 km 👍
