Life In Real Time

Projects I Am Behind On:

-ORCA project

-MA reading list

-Work

-Car maintenance (I have an appointment tomorrow morning)

-Breaking up (maybe I shouldn't make this one public, but oh well, since when do bloggers have privacy issues?)

-Hair maintenance (I need a haircut, desperately!)

-Cleaning my room!!!!!!

-Road Trips

-Reading scriptures every night 

-Being healthy

Projects I've Actually Followed Through On:

-New Computer (MacBook)

-Relaxing

-Dancing (tango and for fun)

-Going home with Aaron (for a weekend)

-Going to the gym (although I just barely started lifting weights)

-Reading for fun (Currently reading Julie&Julia)

-Making yogurt (although I need to buy more for a starter)

Issues With Getting Things Done:

-Hanging out instead of working

-Thinking I have more time than I really do

-Loss of interest

-Loss of budget

-Lack of moral support (mostly for the road trips-- I can't do them alone)

-Sleeping in too late, staying up too late, repeat

-Fickleness, Timidity, etc

Goals for the summer:
-Read books for fun
-Read books off of the MA reading list
-Work
-Weigh less than Travis (it's an old goal, but it's a fun one, and near impossible since he is constantly losing weight himself)
-Run 3 miles in a half hour
-Go to the gym at least 3x a week
-Finish ORCA grant (by June, actually)
-Write the musical with Tasch and Bobby
-Finally write a breadbox story
-At least one road trip, even if it's just to St George for a day or two

Issues to overcome to accomplish these goals:
-laziness
-forgetting about them
-finding motivation
-apathy
-creating new goals in the moment
-not taking them seriously
-giving up
-Writer's block
-falling into a coma
-relapsing into an analphabet stage of life
-sudden amnesia

Books on my Summer Reading List (So Far):
-The Handmaid's Tale (done)
-He's Just Not That Into You (done)
-Love in the Time of Cholera (a little over a 1/3 of the way through this already)
-Les Lettres Persanes
-Bonheur d'Occasion
-Le Rouge et le Noir
-Lots of cookbooks (Julia Child, Martha Stewart, etc)

-Eat less in general (ie go back to a normal appetite level)
-Get ahead in homework and studying
-Put in 5-10 hours a week for ORCA grant
-Start exercising again (cardio at least twice a week)
