Yes, I’m doing a brave thing and going back to my resolutions to report on progress.
I had a list of ‘do more’ and ‘do less’.
One month in, I’ve rated progress using the amazing five tick/check system.
More:
-
READ MORE BOOKS; I’M AIMING FOR ABOUT 30 THIS YEAR.
√√√√√
Seven books finished in Jan. Two more already being worked through for Feb. Very happy.
-
WRITING. FINISH AND RELEASE METROPOLITAN FEAR. WHILE I’M A SIGNIFICANT WAY THROUGH THE FIRST DRAFT (ABOUT 67%), IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF EFFORT TO FINISH THIS IN 2018.
√√√√
Looking positive, but a long way to go still. 101,000 words drafted so far.
-
PROMOTION OF WRITING. IT FEELS A LITTLE UNSAVOURY, BUT NOBODY ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR ME.
√√
Not done much, but I haven’t renewed Amazon exclusive retail rights, which gives me the chance to look at multiple platforms, should I get the time.
-
EXERCISE
No stars. No progress.
-
VOLUNTEERING
No stars. No progress.
-
FAMILY TIME
√√√
Report: Could be worse. Could be better. Meh.
-
TRAVELING (BUT IN A GOOD WAY)
√√√√
Good progress. Flights booked to Ireland. Now going to an African country I’ve not visited before instead of a central American one that I have.
-
SLEEP
√
Um. Three to four hours, with breathing issues between is normal right?
-
SEEK TO FURTHER THE AIMS OF MY FAMILY
√√√√√
I have been working very hard in this respect. Can’t be faulted.
-
LOOK AT MAKING A POSITIVE CHANGE TO RETIREMENT PLANS (WHICH SEEM LIKE AN IMPOSSIBLE WAY OFF AND MAY NEVER HAPPEN)
No stars – retiring some time next century.
Less:
-
UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES
√√√√
Diet better.
Dry January – fully done and still going.
Weight loss four pounds.
Medical diagnosis obtained for an issue.
All good, but could do more.
