Week 2 went well. Here are my successes/failures for week 2.
1. Finish rough draft of my book: I wrote about 5-6 pages this week.
2. Write three songs. Record at least one: This is the goal that I’m struggling with. Although I don’t feel I did much work on it this week, I did receive some encouragement and accountability from a fellow musician/songwriter. He gave me some great ideas on how to structure my time and be productive. Also, while chatting with a drummer friend, he mentioned that he has been wanting to do some songwriting himself. Hopefully I can have some accountability and perhaps even a songwriting partner.
3. Spend 30 minutes each week meal planning: I am nailing this one. I planned out the first two weeks of the year and loved coming home and not having to guess at what was for dinner. I just finished meal planning for this week, and I found that my grocery list is getting shorter. It seems that I’m more aware of what’s in my pantry and fridge and not having to buy as much.
4. Get back into daily quiet time: I am going through the motions of this one. I have read a chapter of Scripture everyday but I really need to spend more time meditating on it. Right now it’s just something I’m checking off my to-do list.
One thing I did not finish for week 2 was my Tuesday Task. I was to ask someone else what their dream/goals were. I e-mailed a friend with this question (I didn’t get a chance to see her that week to ask her face to face) but have not heard back yet. I could ask my two or three readers here. What are your dreams/goals? Share in the comments if you feel inclined.
