After reading Barbara McDowell’s blog I realized I have been slacking… I also noticed that when I set goals, I set them too high. I don’t meet them, sulk, pout and then say, “what is the point?” Self-sabotage maybe?
So after reading Barbara’s blog, I was stoked. She broke her goals down in a simple way that seemed easier than tracing ABC’s.
I am going to take another stab at this ROW jaun.
October 3 – November 15
- Writing
Write 50 words a day on WIP. If I go over, yay! 50 is attainable.
- Blogging
Write 1 blog entry weekly on main blog. Write 1 entry a week on 80’s blog. Continue to update Blogspot blog each Sunday.
- Reading
Read 7-10 blogs a week. Comment on each blog. Read my darn Kindle!
- The Craft
I picked up a great book on memoir writing. Read a chapter a week in this book. Do the exercises.
- Health
I have been slacking in this area. Start walking each day. 20 minute minimum. Get my butt to the gym 3x a week.
No more McDonald’s! I think I have enough colorful Coke glasses at this point.
- Sobriety
One AA meeting a week. Talk to my sponsor if any life occurrences come up.
- Me!
For the love of marshmallows, do something fun once a week. A favorite movie, troll a used book store, walk in the park. I am getting a new camera in a few weeks, so I’ll be adding photography to my list of hobbies..
Happy ROWing everyone!!

Best of luck with your goals! They sound great. I have to organize myself that way too. A little bit of everything gets it done. 🙂
Thank you very much, Kellianne… 🙂 I wrote 50 words this morning… it felt good to do a little bit. Brick by brick, right?
Thank you for commenting!
Fantastic goals! I learned so much about setting more reasonable goals. Sometimes it’s hard to judge how much you’ll really be able to do in a given time. I like that ROW80 is flexible.
Hey Sonia… I agree. ROW80 is flexible. I like that I can go at my own pace, rather than give my family a one month supply of canned ravioli and bid them good luck.
My first time in my goals were ridiculous! I wimped out and felt beaten.
This time.. I shall have the last laugh! Moo ha ha.
Best of luck to you in this round, Sonia. 😀
I’m continually intrigued by how different people handle goals. I’m still struggling with whether it’s better for me to fail at trying to hit a too-high goal or easily achieve a smaller goal. What gets more done for me? Which is better for my psyche? After three rounds I’m still figuring it out!
Anyway, best of luck on your goals!
Hi Katherine.. Best of luck to you and your goals this round as well. Thank you so much for stopping by. 😀
Darlene
I hope you reach all your goals. I don’t have time to set goals, I just go. Live life as it’s thrown at me. LOL. One of these days I’m sure to have a breakdown. hahaha
Krystal.. thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. 🙂 That means so much to me. I commend you on “going with the flow”!
Good luck to you and your flowiness…
I love your blog by the way… always a good read.
Thanks again..
Darlene
I love this! Best of luck on your goals – I hope you surpass them all!
Hi AG! Thank you so much… 🙂 I think this round is going to be the best one yet..
