Daily check-in thread for July 8, 2008

Woke up early - 7.5/8
Study - 8/8
Work - 8/8

So far so good. After a week or so I'm going to try and increase the amount of time I spend studying and working every day, for now I'm just trying to get consistent with doing a little bit every day. Also I eventually want it to be a bit more disciplined, right now I'm just doing a little here and a little there without a whole lot of focus.

Monthly review: I started my June challenge on June 9th, so I complete an year of sticking to routines. The two MIT's which I decided to do for the month of June were : doing yoga daily and doing sudokus daily. Well I calculted the number of days I was successful in doing was: I achieved 85% success in doing sudokus, I achieved 63% success in doing yoga. I felt happy as regards doing sudokus and as regards doing yoga, I need to improve.

This morning I was technically awake at 6:30, but not out of bed. The covers were just too warm! 4/8

Consequently I didn't take my bike ride or shave. 4/8 and 3/8 respectively

I did brush and mouthwash though! :P 5/8

Missed a deadline yesterday and one this morning (I'm giving myself 48 hours to enter stuff into Quicken), but I have receipts for everything so I should still be able to catch up.[/u]

Had a good start this morning. Out of bed by 6:15, jogged for 45 minutes after wards. So far so good, Will try to keep a food journal today. Happy Tuesday! Ashley S.

Yikes, I'm off to a bad start this month - though this challenge is a tough one for me. I got a late start on it due to the holiday and then I've been sick, up all night, and having trouble getting up on time to do this. But I really need to get to work earlier so I'm going to keep at it. Here, I'm setting the alarm now and hopefully tomorrow will go a little more smoothly.
Hope you're having more success than I am!

I'm getting confused with my daily goal being at night :? Some of us are easily confused. Anyway, I accounted for one rough night as I knocked a table over in my sleep and woke the whole family up, luckily no animals hurt. So that doesn't count, right? :P This morning my husband woke my son and I up to help him do a house measuring job. That got the day off to a running start. I can hardly wait to go back to work after my 3 month sabbatical :( . Anyway, new goals need to be set here, as I'm going nowhere fast.

No eating after 8pm
IN BED by 10:30
Seriously tackle ONE JOB on my housework "to do" list.

Hi everybody. Hang in there!

Fred's Challenge:

I will do something everyday in the process of selecting the best on line masters program for me.

What I did today:


1. Talked to a second alum of the MASCL program. Good conversation. The key to successs in this program is being committed to it and the work (becuase it is an intensive 18 month prgram). It can involve up to 4o hours a week but it is in 6 week intervals, which is do-able. I'm beginning to mentally prepare for this now so I can tackle it if I choose to go with it. 2 more interviews to go.

2. Worked more on letter. Almost there.

3. Worked more on "essay questions".

4. Started purpose statement for UI&U.; Rough but a start.

5. Wrote down observations from interviews.
