You flipping well HAVE done some of the things on that list - and you've started on others until the ill health got in the way!
weather here is also gorgeous - and like PM02 I also wish I was out in it not at my desk! :rotfl:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Thanks both - I did get two small things done that I've been putting off for a while, and have a job planned for tomorrow as well. I need to get back into the habit of goal setting every day, I haven't opened my filofax in weeks.0

Along with the non filofax use, I've realised that I haven't been posting on my diary daily or twice daily as I used to. Posting my daily goals made me feel accountable and more often than not I was able to complete or exceed whatever I wanted to do for the day. I have a very busy weekend but on Monday I am going to try to start posting daily again. I'm sure getting back into the habit of completing little goals will start the motivation rolling...
Smolly, if you are reading this, I really miss seeing you on the board!0 -
I was wondering about Smolly too - really hope everything is OK there.
I suspect you're right about being able to re-spark the motivation by feeling like you're getting stuff done in the first place.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

So much for my diary postings today - I forgot I had an appt that took a good chunk of the day and while I was out I did other errands.
So the plan is now to get back on track tomorrow.

*hangs head in shame
I am actually sorting out lots of paperwork and was trying to stay offline so I didn't get distracted. I still have at least an afternoon's worth of sorting left so will leave it there for today.
The house is a mess so will concentrate a bit more on that later in the week but sorting the paperwork is my top priority at the moment. It feels good to be getting something done, and I do feel more motivated and determined to get on with it. I have more energy too but that could be down to the 5 cups of coffee 0 -

:rotfl::rotfl:Yeah 5 cups of coffee would do it! Mind you I think I'd need that to tackle a day of sorting out paperwork, too!
Motivation and energy though - good stuff! :T🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
