Past My Bedtime.

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why.

It's so funny that this is the next topic in this fun little blog commitment thing I've got going on because I've been thinking about this lately anyway. It's almost weird; this has been a theme that continues to weave its way through various aspects of my life recently, so it must be exactly what I'm supposed to be thinking about.... Be prepared – some of these are super lame!

Short term goals for Q4:
1. Be on time for work consistently; it's getting better, but I'm still usually 5 minutes late. Is that really a big deal? Am I going to get in trouble? Probably not, but it's important to me. In fact I am going to take this a step further (see #2).

2. Be punctual in all things. Meetings, work, appointments, yadda yadda. I have kindof a serious problem with punctuality across the board. I think I took "fashionably late" a little too seriously. I don't think I can get much more fashionable at this point; I've overstayed my welcome on the doorstep of "fashionably late". It would be more fashionable now for me to simply be on time.

3. Bedtime! So, as you are starting to see, I go to bed too late and get up too late and end up being late. Yikes! In all honesty, I need to be wrapping my night up at 10pm. By 10:30 I need to be starting to nod off. By 11 I should be asleep. I don't know why I struggle so much with getting to bed on time. Wait, yes I do too know why. I put things off until around 9pm and then start getting things done. Also, I think I am just afraid I'll miss something. Like what? Is the Queen of England going to be calling me around 11:30 so I should stay wide awake until then? Am I expecting Ed McMahon to show up late at night with my Publisher's Clearing House check? (Probably not considering I don't have any chance of winning; I'm not even entered into the sweepstakes!) Clearly, I have no reason to be doing anything but getting ready for bed at 10pm. In the off chance case that Ed does show up, I'm sure Chris will wake me up.

I told you that the goals would seem trivial. Part of the reason for that is because, well, they are. However, more likely is that this is a public blog and I'm not going to go sharing my most intimate goals with the whole internet so the whole world can hold me accountable and know my innermost thoughts. Not doing it, sorry!

Hope everyone's weekend was splendid... mine was restful, healthful and full of self-care goodness.

Love, Lisa
