Posts: General / In this thread, post your goals for September.

Inspired by the strange yet dedicated Neville Medhora, I have decided to try harder at setting concrete goals each month.   It will be fun! 



My goals for September:



- work out 5 days / week.



- learn & memorize 3 violin scales by end of September.



- 5 nights of the week I should get at least 6 hours of sleep.



- Bring a lunch to work at least 4 days per week.



- Caffeine intake limited to 2 days per week.

- begin my Community Needs Assessment

1. Destroy all humans.

2. Get better at cooking Vietnamese food.

-Find a better job

How has everyone been doing on their list?

1. Had a birthday
2. Haven't started workouts again (I'm off tomorrow and decided I'll be active then)
3. I might be moving to Chicago (by mid Oct), so either transfer or find a new job
4. Eh. I'm actually going to start selling a lot of my possessions on ebay to fund this journey if it pans out.
5. Gone to a lot. Got interviewed by Philly Daily news and made it on the Philly Union website (my avatar)
6. Made a lot of friends in Philly... this might be better for Oct.
7. Her bday is Sept 28th, but we already surprised her and I gave her a gift. I was going to make her a "Where are you now?" bored that allows each person in the house to change their status (ie. work, school, store, ny etc.) but it seems a bit irrelevant now.

My goals for September:



- work out 5 days / week.  Failing miserably at this goal. Though I have increased my exercise rate, I still have yet to hit a full 5 day week.



- learn & memorize 3 violin scales by end of September.  I have pretty much given up on this goal, but I have increased my overall playing.  



- 5 nights of the week I should get at least 6 hours of sleep. I have been going to bed with the intention of getting 6 hours of sleep; but I still cannot succesfully fall asleep in time to get the full 6.  I have improved a lot though.



- Bring a lunch to work at least 4 days per week. Still struggling with this one, but this reminds me I should make a lunch for tomorrow.



- Caffeine intake limited to 2 days per week.  This goal I have succeeded at.  Many weeks I will not have any caffeine at all.  The next 2 weeks will probably not be as healthy though, since school is about to kick my ass.





Even though I have mostly failed in my attempts, the practice of setting goals has definitely encouraged improvement.  I think next month I might have to tweak some of these but I still vow to try.

By bored I also meant board. And my mother is Ayo Technology challenged.

Improvements are good. And it's always good to be reminded of those you've set because I'm sure life always gets in the way... you just need a good reminder or motivation sometimes.

2. don't fall behind in school

3. hit the gym often

4. avoid falling ill

5. see the arcade fire on september 25th

6. slow down the partying
