I'd really like to join you here! I need to have sone short term weekly goals to try and get organised better - I'm in a monthly money challenge but doing the details on a weekly basis makes a lot of sense to me!
I guess the week runs Sunday to Sunday?

My list would be:
1. Write up paperwork for voluntary work.
2. Tidy and declutter office
3. Meal plan and buy (incorporate healthier choices after the gluttony of christmas!)
4. Catalogue seeds for veg plot and plan planting times
5. Change and wash all bed linen.
6. Prepare some reading and writing practice for DD.

Seems enough for now - looking forward to getting cracking.

Hi all,

Well done on all of your progress! I must admit that knowing I had to come and update my progress, did make me do some more of the jobs!

Update

This week (in the next 4 days) I will;

1. Go to the gym twice - went on Wed, so one more to do
2. Do one tutoring session - done on Thurs
3. Get my hair cut - done on Sat
4. Declutter at least 4 items - done on Sat
5. Do prep work for return to work on Monday - done as much as possible
6. Hoover downstairs
7. Make a meal plan for the following week - done on Thurs

Hi Mountaingirl and welcome. I'm running my week from Sunday morning to Saturday night, but I think others might have different start and finish days/times - whatever works best for you

I've done some ironing:eek:

I couldn't cope with the guilt of not finishing my list so I have just hoovered downstairs This thread is great motivation, thanks for setting it up treasure.

The only one I haven't achieved is going to the gym twice

1. Go to the gym twice - went on Wed, so one more to do
2. Do one tutoring session - done on Thurs
3. Get my hair cut - done on Sat
4. Declutter at least 4 items - done on Sat
5. Do prep work for return to work on Monday - done as much as possible
6. Hoover downstairs - done on Sat
7. Make a meal plan for the following week - done on Thurs


Think next week's list is going to be;

1. Go to the gym three times
2. Do two tutoring sessions
3. Declutter 5 items
4. Hoover downstairs and upstairs
5. Mop the kitchen floor
6. Clean the bathroom

1. Write up paperwork for voluntary work.
2. Tidy and declutter office
3.[STRIKE] Meal plan[/STRIKE] and buy (incorporate healthier choices after the gluttony of christmas!)
4.[STRIKE] Catalogue seeds for veg plot and plan planting times[/STRIKE]
5. Change and wash all bed linen.

Better get on!

Hello, do you think I can join in?

I normally only really read the os board but I've found that I needed a new approach.

Had a pretty complex 2013. Have my own flat which needs a lot of work, and then bf moved in. Then had some health issues which have taken a lot out of me and have resulted in me having to start long term daily injections. (Woe is me). And essentially most of 2013 was a bit of a washout... :mad::(

But! Decided that 2014 is time to stop letting it get to me and start learning to live with it.

Upshot is I'm needing a kick up the ar#e, I've been letting the washing slide, bathroom and general cleaning slide as well. Bf has been in a mancave for years b4 I came along. So even though he can clean he doesn't realise it needs to be done regularly :rotfl::rotfl:

It's complicated by my shiftwork days/night's gah!

Sooooooo after story
My weekly plan is:
To write a meal plan using what we have in freezer (and sticking to it)
Drink more water than fizzy juice
To not spend more than £20 on food this week
Clean bathroom
Tidy kitchen and living room before going to bed each night. (This one will be difficult as bf always in bed after me and when I get up there's a trail of destruction left behind!! :mad:)
Do Pilates video twice this week
Do two 15min cleaning challenges this week (got 4 night's this week so 2 should be enough to be getting on with)

I just have the ironing left to do off of this weeks to do list and I am about to start that now. So next weeks plan:

1) Meal plan for the next 7 days using food I already have.
2) Hoover and mop all the floors
3) Clean the bathroom
4) Change and wash the bed linen
5) Go to the gym twice
6) Complete portfolio/paperwork that I need to do ASAP
7) Sort paperwork and details for my new job

Good luck to everyone with their goals this week!
