Week 1

Room (chore): Hallways (starting off easy!) 
          Keep picked up
          Wash Charlie’s bedding/bowls weekly
          Sweep 2x a week (or more if needed)

Health: Drink 32 oz of water a day
                          before any 'treat' drinks (pop, sweetened tea/coffee) drink at least 8oz
           Daily Devos in the morning
                           No distractions, at the table (coffee ok :) ), before the kids come

Time Management:  Bed by 10:30
                                  Turn TV off at 10, walk Charlie, then off to bed (if before 10:30 read or Sudoku)

Budget:  Look at lowering TV/Internet/Phone
                    Do I really need the gazillion channels?  Would it be cheaper to get a new phone with an                 answering phone (since phone is dying any way and would be able to lower phone level? any
                other way?


The goals the first week are pretty easy, just want to start off slow; the hallways aren't usually too bad, just a few toys here and there, baskets of laundry, Charlie’s food getting dumped.  I used to drink a ton of water, but have slowed way down, so it'll just take remembering to and having it out and easy to get to.  I am sporadic with my devos, so I want to set a time and a place to do them so I'm less likely to forget.  One of my biggest time management (and health too) is lack of sleep and therefore being tired, so by setting a reasonable time to go to bed, I will be less likely to get distracted and next thing I know it turns into midnight.  One of my biggest monthly expenses (other than rent) is my internet/TV/phone and while they (other than TV-which is almost) necessary for my business, there has to be some way to lower the cost!

So this weekend I am going to get the hallways cleaned up, find my good water bottle, set the timer on my coffee pot (for devos, the smell of coffee is a good motivator!), set a reminder on my phone (for bed), and look at my TV etc bill.   Then Monday morning, I will start the daily goals! 

Here I go!
