January “Task” Review and Plans for February

Just as a refresher…I posted a piece about goals a few weeks back.  In it, I rambled on about what goals are and if I actually am a goal setter or a task setter.  I came to the conclusion that I’m a task setter.  Goals are great and wonderful, but I’m a more “right here, right now” kind of person, so making a list of tasks to complete really works for me.

My January tasks:

1. Complete the January projects on my house list
2. Read 5 books
3. Buy a new vacuum cleaner and thoroughly vacuum my house
4. Make a to-do list every day at work and stick to it
5. Blog 3-4 days a week

I’m happy to say that I accomplished 4 of the 5 things on my list.  I bought a new doorbell, and a rug, mirror for my foyer.  My dad surprised me by bringing over a shelving unit for my garage when he stopped by to fix a leaky sink.  I also bought a new vacuum cleaner.  It was a much needed purchase and I’m super embarrassed by how much comes out of the my carpet every time I vacuum.  It’s disgusting really.  I also read 6 books.

The only thing I didn’t do was blog 3-4 days a week.  I have a lovely blog schedule and I try to stick to it, I really do, but there just isn’t always enough hours in the day.  I need to work on making it more of a priority and forcing myself to find the time.

And now on to my February tasks…

1. Install crown molding throughout the upstairs (my February house project and really a job for The Carpenter.  I’ll supervise of course. 😉 )
2. Read 5 books
3. Vacuum and dust my house once a week
4. Clean out and scrub my refrigerator
5. Explore ways to find motivation to blog and to exercise
6. Keep making and sticking to a to-do list at work everyday

What are your February tasks and/or goals?
