Motivating Myself in Five Areas (GPM)
Katrina at Mama Manuscripts is hosting Goal Planning Monday (GPM). I am participating so I’ll have a record of what I complete each week. I’ll also have a tool to energize my (sometimes) flagging motivation to complete (1) the jobs I tend to avoid or (2) jobs that get overshadowed by the urgent items on my to-do list.
Her plan is to post 5 things to complete during the week. I am tweaking this a bit and posting 5 categories with two (sometimes three) actions to be done. (h) is for home and 
for work. I will put a line through the task and date it when I am finished.
1. Exercise
(h) Walk 30 minutes (4-6 days)
(h) Sign up for the Idita-Walk (1/11)
Take a 5 minute stretch break every 90 minutes (3 times this week)
2. Declutter project
(h) Table in dining room area
Filing cabinet
3. Food
(h) Plan menu for week from anti-inflammation diet
Buy and bring in snacks for 3 weeks for work (1/7)
4. Miscellaneous
(h) Fix my godson’s blanket (1/11)
(h) Decide on and buy present for soon-to-be 15-year-old niece (1/12)
Email chronic pain resource list to Brittney (1/7)
5. Procrastination Project
(h) Call to see if part is in for car (have an appt. at 7:30a.m. on 1/8)
Take food to food bank (1/7)
Your Turn . . .
- What’s on your goal list for this week?
- Do you plan by category?
- How do you motivate yourself when your energy or motivation is flagging?
