5 For Five- June 2

It's June??!!

So what is 5 For Five? In the short form, it is 5 goals you want to achieve this week. Next week, I will report on my success (or failure).

Here were the goals from last week:

1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in 3 months! I'm mid way through November, so I'm making progress...  Done! I finished November!
2. Work on the blog - redesign, scheduling posts, etc. Nope.
3. Go though the toy bins for Shelby. Nope.
4. Get some Elks thing done. Yes!
5. Get rid of some more of the clutter. Nope.

So this was a 2 out of 5.  Not good. Really need to get back on track.

So what are my goals for this week???

1. SMART goal - read 12 newspapers this week. I am determined to get these done before Shelby turns 1 in less than about 2 months!
2. Find her some new toys. We have plenty in the house, just need to get them out.
3. Make a grocery list with coupons at least a day before going shopping.
4. Do some active blogging and give this blog some love and attention.
5. Clear out some of the assorted paperwork around this house.



You are probably wondering what a SMART goal is.  It is a term I "borrowed" from Say Goodbye to Survival Mode by Crystal Paine.  SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.  Since all these goals are really time-bound (1 week), I just have to get better at meeting the other criteria.

Ok, who is with me?  Let's keep each other on track to a better year!
