Second Day and I'm doing really well!!!!!!!

Well that went well. Last night, I was able to achieve everything that I set out to do before my wife came home. So the goals I set were attainable. All the while I was doing the things on my list, I was thinking to myself, this isn’t so hard, this isn’t so bad, this is pretty easy. When my wife came home she noticed the clean house and I felt really good about myself.

So, not a bad start to my quest. I feel encouraged about my positive first step and want to have an equally productive day today. One thought that has been troubling me is when is the best time to write this log? I want to use it to set my goals and objectives for the day but here I am, at 3:p.m. Sunday, writing about what I want to accomplish today before my wife arrives home at 11:00 p.m. I think that writing it the night before for the next day may be best since I can reflect on my previous efforts, make corrections and set out the plan for the next day all after the house settles down for the night. Day timer training tells us to sit down the night before to plan out the next day so that’s what I’ll do.
Tonight I will write the outline for Monday.

Just a note about today…well actually last night…..watched the new Angilina Joli movie with my wife and then had awesome sex with my wife and I think some of it might have come from the feeling of accomplishment of the days activities. After all, Dr. MacDonald has says, when I feel less shame about myself and give myself a reason to feel good about myself, I deserve the good things I earn in life.

This morning we got up late and since it was a beautiful day we went downtown for a late breakfast, a walk around the Antique Market and waterfront, then got the grocery shopping done (a lot of healthy food choices too) and then off she went to work…it was a good day.

Today, I want to accomplish the following things:

1) Clean up, mow and trim the lawn.
2) Make a healthy dinner.
3) Put a load of wash through and fold.
4) Go for a walk, with the dog if he’s up to it.
5) Find my outlook for last Monday and edit.
6) Go through my genie and highlight the suspects.
7) Review all notes in my day timer and finalize outlook for the Boss

I'll even reward myself when doing 3,5,6,&7 by watching a movie.

That is a full day and one that makes positive progress on caring for my health, my personal belongings & my work.

Oh, I almost forget!!!!!

8) Write Mondays Goals and objectives………..but then how do I do Monday? Do I edit the Sunday entry and call it Monday so I will always be writing one day ahead? I’ll think on that some more and probably it will come to me before long.
