Easter Productivity

What a lovely sun filled Easter weekend with four productive days planned!

Friday - homework and studying
Saturday - cleaning and perogy making
Sunday - meal prepping, blogging and homework
Monday - day trip to Athabasca for Easter lunch

It feels great to get things done. Especially house cleaning, good thing the house is on the market, showings force me to do a big clean at least once a week. We've cut back on our house cleaning service with the intention to eventually stop the service completely and keep up a steady regime of daily cleaning.

​Cleaning is a habit changer to say the least. When it comes to goals, I have so many but am spread so thin with a full time and part time job and going to school full time. Need to work on realistic goals on a weekly basis, breaking them down to lifesize pieces. Focus on changing one or two habits at a time instead of all at once. My boss always says if you are doing everything, you are doing nothing. Or some variation on that, you get the point. Give your goals the individual attention they truly need to be successful.

My WOW (Within-One-Week) Goals are:

1) Track one habit for two whole days, no cheating!
2) Study for one hour each day, I have a mid term on Friday
3) Submit an assignment
4) Wake up at 6:30 a.m. every day
5) Set my Big Business Launch date
6) Go for two walks

Not too unrealistic! Will be tracking my eating habits with the Biggest Loser Food Journal. Found out that I have two food journals never used but bought with great intentions, just collecting dust on my bookshelf! Starting with the Biggest Loser Food Journal, then will use the FitBook. Could use an app but writing it down brings a different sense of accomplishment than scanning a barcode. In addition, I set up my weight loss tracker. A list of the weights I will be until I reach my goal weight of 145lbs. If I lose a pound a week, I should reach my goal by June 2017. Another hopefully realistic goals. I even set up a few rewards for myself to keep me motivated. Keep the mantra: "a goal without a plan is just a wish" on your mind at all times. You will be 33% more likely to succeed with a plan written down and shared with others.

    About me

    ​I grew up in Athabasca, AB and have spent the majority of my life in Northern Alberta or Montreal, PQ. My husband has been in Fort McMurray since the 70s and continues to love this town and all that it has to offer. We are avid outdoor enthusiasts, spending our summer weekends quadding and camping. As Opimian members we thoroughly enjoy wine pairings and tastings and are working on our wine collection. Ralph is a carpenter by trade and has framed more houses in Fort McMurray than I could count and knows the city inside and out. I work all throughout the region from the NWT to Janvier for the tribal council. My passion is doodling and photography which is featured throughout the website (various mediums), writing, Indigenous studies, and learning in general.

    Legal Note: This blog in no way represents the viewpoints of my employers. Specifically, the Athabasca Tribal Council  is not responsible for any statements made on this website.  The content is entirely my personal perspectives and meanderings.
