Goals for myself

So I have come up with a set of goals for my weekday life while Kevin is at work. They are

1 hour 15 min to read (this is a minimum)

30 minutes to write--(this is a minimum)

15 minutes for 2 notes a day (this is a maximum--I will get overwhelmed with it otherwise, and it won't get done)

30 minutes for exercise (this is a minimum).

Thus far, I have been good at everything but the notes, but as I have made room for everything else I think I can still make this work.

I have decided that I want to write the youth I used to work for a hand written note. They all wrote me one for my last day, and I have treasured them immensely. I feel as though it will provide me with a bit of closure that I need from that job in order to move on. I also think this will inspire me to write a bit more. I have corresponded with 2 people a day to make up for it, but one of my dear friends has taught me the value of the handwritten word. I want to take the opportunity to do so before the desire leaves. I hope to create more of a desire by making it a part of my routine.

I have learned that in order to do this for myself, I have to be on my computer a lot less. I used to be on my computer a lot more often, and have found just how much I am addicted to it. So, I am working on a routine as well to keep me away from it. The hardest part to change will be checking it first thing in the morning. I told myself I would not touch the computer this morning, and yet I walked to it and opened it up before I had time to think about what I was doing. Tonight, I am writing a note on it to remind me. Twice a day for the computer--the rest of my socializing will be on the phone or in person.
