I was thinking about making a report on my goals after the first quarter of this year, but the only one of my yearly goals I want to talk about is the one about reading more. I've decided that it's more important to get back into the habit of reading than to read anything specific, so the Dewey Decimal Project and one PoC author per month project are on indefinite hiatus, although I still want to come back to them. (Of course, just as soon as I decided this, I went to the library and checked out two nonfiction books.)
Weekly Goals
As of two weeks ago, I now have weekly goals, which I've been sharing via email with a group of amazing women who are all working toward living healthier lives. Mine are, I can tell, going to be boringly the same every week. So for additional public commitment, here are my weekly goals (my week is running Sunday-Saturday):
The list is, of course, subject to change based on life circumstances. For example, my mom and I are going to a concert in Sacramento on Friday night, so I'm not going to lift weights or go to bed at 9:30 on Friday. I probably won't go to bed at 9:30 on Wednesday either this week since I'm going to watch frriends play hockey at 8:30.

Mine are, I can tell, going to be boringly the same every week. So for additional public commitment, here are my weekly goals (my week is running Sunday-Saturday):
- Turn my computer off at 9 and go to bed at 9:30 every night except Thursday. (On Thursdays I have dance 7:30-9, so I turn my computer off earlier and go to bed after my shower after class.)
- Lift weights Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, and do crunches the other days.
- Write my 400+ words every day. (Note: This may change a bit when I finish the first draft of my big bang.)
- Do my writing group homework ahead of time. We meet every other week, so in practice, this means: on weeks we don't meet, create the handout/writing exercise and read manuscripts on Saturday and then do the critique on Sunday. My life is a lot less stressful when I don't put this off until the morning of the meeting.
- Read a book.
