Wednesday
I will write about what I have been up to so far in the week. On Sundays,
however, because I need to see numbers to see progress, I will post my actual
points. The number of points to reach my goal in any given week is 30 (don’t
bother to figure out my math, I give myself all kinds of lee=way and like to
end up with even numbers). Maximum points in a week could be 41 (or I suppose
1041), and I’m not keeping track of totals at the end of the month. As it is I
have spent way too much time thinking about this already.
Try
not to make yourself crazy figuring out my system. I have already made myself
crazy enough for all of us.
I don't know if you have a smart phone, but I use an app called Goal Master. It lets me assign points to different goals and such.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Thanks, Emily Jean, but I am not smart enough for a smart phone. I can't even figure out an excel spreadsheet, but I am glad I'm not the only one who keeps track of everything.
