Let’s Do Something!
Our next project is due to begin on April 1st, just a few days away, and it’s time to start thinking about what comes next. What I’d like to do is build on what we have accomplished so far. In our last project, Laying The Groundwork, we made lists … lots of them, we journaled, we explored our deeper inner selves, and we talked, but we didn’t actually DO anything.
I think it’s time to stop talking for a while and start doing. The idea is to pick one doable goal, something that you could actually accomplish in a span of 30 days, and then actually DO it. I think it’s important that the goal be something that you actually WANT to succeed with. It could be a series of small simple practical things that you’ve been procrastinating, something you’ve always wanted to do but never made time for, it could even be something you were going to do anyway.
I am modeling this project around “The Little Engine That Could,” a story from my childhood that still influences me, even this many years later. I’ll also be looking for motivational videos, and whatever else I can find that will help us accomplish whatever it is that we’ve set out to do.
If this project interests you, I’d love it if you’d join in. A public statement as to what you are planning to accomplish in the next 30 days might be a great way to get started. You can leave a comment right here, right now, defining your goal. If public statements don’t float your boat, make a note and put it on your refrigerator, put a reminder on your phone, tell a friend, or do something to make it “official.”

I’m going to get all of the mojo bags sewn together so we can make them and sell them.
Awesome!!!
I am still thinking about my goal… right now it’s a huge list. I really dread the idea of having to replace the faucet in the tub. UGGGHHH!!
Ok… I don’t want to actually DO it, but I really NEED and WANT the end result. So I am going to replace the faucet in the bathtub. I whined and cried about this all through the last project, as some of you know. I even actually LOOKED at it, and it looked every bit as complicated as I had feared. So… Kicking and Screaming all the way… I AM going to actually DO it.
I plan to sort through a huge stack of filing and throw away what is unnecessary. I need to move furniture around and hang paintings and prints. Not too exciting as a project but must do. Except I will get to see paintings and prints on the wall that I am missing. I will need help due to limited mobility. Hopefully, I can ask for help.
Hi Delores. Sounds like a good project! And yes… ask for help if you need it, or when you need it. I’ll be asking for help, maybe more than once! LOL
I plan on two things, file my income tax is number one. As a procrastinator married to a procrastinator we have a hard time getting it in on time lol. The other is to get my personal info in order so that if anything happened to me my family will be able to handle things without too much trouble.
On another note one of my favorite sayings is, Nothing changes if Nothing changes, such a simple statement but true change is hard.
Hi Alice! It’s so true… change is hard. One of my favorite sayings is “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Which just goes to show that “Some things never change.” And it is really difficult to effect change that is real and lasting!
So…
I am so glad you’re joining in this time around, and I really hope that we all succeed in our various goals.
Income taxes…
Uuggghhh…
I have to do that too.
My list of goals could get unbelievably long if I allowed it to. And that would be just another way of dancing around my “to do” list without actually DOING it.
LOL
I wish us all the luck in the world!
