I
did all right, over all, on last year’s goals. As usual, the first of January
brings with it the desire to get more organized, set some new goals in stone
and pound out a plan to bring them to fruition. I decided to return to a format
I used a few years ago – the four R’s (or Wr’s).
Writing
and reading are pretty self-explanatory. Reaching means any kind of promotion,
anything I do which gets me and my writing out there. Remaining is for all the
other things I need to do in my life for balance and just because I have other
things to do to keep that life rolling.
I
have a separate list for the entire year (which I shared yesterday), but for
the sake of brevity (and to keep your interest), I’ll only post my weekly goals
here.
A. WRITING
1. Edit six chapters of “The
Truth Beyond the River”.
2. Write three posts to the
“Dino Chronicles”.
B. REACHING
1. Read four other blogs and
comment on two of them.
2. Promote “Where the Sky Meets the Sand”.
a. Finish emailing my contact
list asking for reviews.
b. Share the book on my
social media.
C. READING
1. Read the daily assignment
in “Today’s Light” Study Bible.
2. Daily read “Bury My Heart
At Wounded Knee”.
D. REMAINING
1. Physical
a. Exercise four mornings a
week.
b. Work out three evenings a
week.
c. Cut back on sweets.
2. Home fires
a. Scan a dozen old pictures.
b. Work on the new scrub top.
a. Start writing the
Procedure Manual.
b. Write a tentative
itinerary for Medical Outreach in the Fall.
I’m
keeping the list short until I get back in the swing of things. I had the week
between Christmas and New Year’s off from the day job, so it’s going to be a
shock to my system to go back to work tomorrow. I probably won’t feel up to
doing much with my evenings this week. However, I do have today. I’ll try to
make the most of it.
Hope
you do too. Best wishes for a productive new year.

I remember when you used to do the 4Rs(Wrs). They did seem to work well for you. Hopefully you'll find that magic again.
ReplyDeleteBury My Heart At Wounded Knee was... quite the book. It's been years since I read it, and there are always glimpses in the news or even locally that remind me of that book. An interesting world it brought alive...
