I've been reading a couple of books about setting goals. Sometimes in my pursuit of books to sell, I find a few titles that I want to read and pick them up. Even if they're not worth selling, I enjoy reading them and just re-donate when I'm done.
Anyhow, I've been thinking about my financial goals a lot lately. I'm earning OK money right now, and since starting this blog feel more motivated to change things than I have in a long time. I picked up a book today about setting and meeting goals in general, not just financial. It's pretty basic advice, but reading it does motivate me.
One of the main questions in the chapter I read today was about what we do to sabotage ourselves. In the morning I'm often running around at the last minute, making my lunch, ironing a shirt, and so on. Today I washed all of the laundry I need for this week, ironed it, and am ready to go. That may not be a big deal to you, but I'm such a procrastinator! It feels good to have everything ready. My lunch is packed, and I'm ready to go.
I've been putting off painting the bathroom for months. Today I did the ceiling. It needs to dry completely, then I can tackle the walls and be done with it. It was really not very time-consuming at all. Sometimes I build things up in my mind bigger than they really are.
A busy day

Ulimately, I would need 3 one for me, one for DD1 and one for DIL. But they can come one at a time...
Thanks!

An act in time saves nine.

I've been continuing to work on not sabotaging myself. It's strange how I was doing that without stopping to think about it.
