April 9, 2010: One Goal Friday

Fridays. Yum! Fifty-two each year, and I love them all.

It's time to set one goal for the upcoming week, one goal that will bring you closer to your dream or will enhance your life. It can be related to work, family, fun, or anything at all.

My goal was to enjoy my family since we had a vacation from school and work. Easy! Of course I met it.
Here are your goals from last week:

Jessica: Finish reading WIP and print pictures
Terri: Write more
CJ: Make Hot Cross Buns and enjoy them with daughter home from college
Wendy: Laugh hard
Kelly: Enjoy Easter without blowing diet
Ralene: Finish going through boxes to donate
Joanne: Finish cooking for Easter (lasagna, yum...)
Julie J: Write 1000 words every day
Katie: Eat one healthy item each day
Lynn: Write a new scripture verse in prayer journal each day
Kristen T: Complete first three months of p90x!!
Maria M: Make memories with daughter who is home on spring break
Erica: Finish reading book for review
Danyelle: Finish entering edits into ms
Kara: Pack for trip and prepare clothes for consignment sale
Susan M: Catch up on sleep
Tamika: Write 500 words per day
Nancy: Enjoy birthday and daughter's birthday, which are shared (Happy Birthday!!)
Patti: Write two chapters of Reclaiming Lily and start proposal for Strung Out
Angie M: Write daily
Jaime: Reclaim morning exercise habit
Linda: Finish rewrites of chapters eight and nine
College Student: Study, study, study!
Jennifer S: Bake and cook for daughter's birthday party
Lisa and Laura: Prep first 20K words and create an outline

My new goal is to finish the second pass of revisions of my work in progress.

What one goal will make your life better this week?

  1. Happy to hear you had a great week off with your family, Jill! I had an off week mentally, so I did not complete my goal. I was late on my blog post but am grateful for the readers and comments, so I will think about that to keep mentally charged. This week's goal is to write 2+ hrs per day. Best wishes with WIP!

  3. I definitely met my lasagna and ham goal, it was so worth the efforts. Next week I'll be immersing myself in a new writing project, and hope to make serious progress with it.

  4. Met my goal from last week more or less. This week my first regularly scheduled kid-free time starts with K's new pre school program & my goal is to use the time to write.

    Mine for this next week is to make progress on edits each day. Broad, but still important.

  11. My goal for next week is to get a handle on my newest WIP which is just a glimmer of an idea. To see if there is really a story there. And to see if it's a story I might want to write.

  19. Have a great week off! :)

    My goal for the week is to work steadily on editing my WIP. I'd like to finish it this week, but I'm not sure I can do that without exhausting myself. So, for now, I'm just going to commit to work regularly on it.

  21. Yeah, we're 50/50 this week. We have a brand new (beautiful) outline. But we scrapped the first 20,000 words. They just weren't working. It was time to cut our losses.

    Love these goals! Next week we want to have 5 perfect chapters written. Thanks for this Jill and congrats on your progress!!!

  22. Love this, Jill! I need to get back on track with my schedule. I sort of got all out of wack this past week.

    I'm glad you had fun with your family. I hope you enjoy your books!
