So here was Monday’s plan:
- I’ll stop and think before I eat or drink anything
- I’ll focus on work at work and on home at home
Both of these were pretty good actually. I had a hungry day on Tuesday – where I just seemed hungry all day. And that’s fine. That’s gonna happen. The important part is that I stuck to eating what I wanted to eat and didn’t use it as an excuse to eat a carton of ice cream.
- Toby and I will hang the maps Monday or Tuesday – will [take] before and after pictures
- I’ll write notes to two friends just to remind them they’re important to me
- One load of laundry on Monday
- One condo viewing on Tuesday
- Practice piano both days
Hung the maps but forgot to take before pictures! Sent a couple of e-mails which could cover the second task but I also went out and got some note cards for sending actual mail. It bothers me a little that I won’t really remember what I wrote – I just can never seem to remember what I said. In fact, I should do up a spreadsheet so I remember who I sent things to!
Laundry ✅
Condo viewing ✅
Now, except for the piano practising that was all pretty good. But the lack of practising at all is pretty bad. I am 31 days away from my first piano exam in about 35 years….

So I’m going to add a day and now here’s
Wednesday to Friday, May 10 to 12
Big picture stuff stays the same for now:
- I’ll stop and think before I eat or drink anything
- I’ll focus on work at work and on home at home
Everyday things:
- Buy new LED lightbulbs and replace all the old outdoor light bulbs with the new LED ones;
- Send a note to someone;
- One load of laundry – this is a never-ending chore but sometimes it gets away from me so I’m keeping it on the list for now;
- Practice piano every day;
- Wednesday or Thursday I want to do some baking for work as a treat for a co-worker who is going on leave;
- Wednesday – take Q swimming!
- Thursday – after-work drinks with co-workers. I am almost never able to go thanks to a busy family schedule so I am not bailing out on the one that I can get to!
- Also a bigger goal is to declutter so – post at least 2 items for sale on facebook or kijiji (or both). Does anyone ever do well selling stuff on ebay anymore?
