Last week I
checked in with how I'm doing on my summer goals. I didn't plan on checking in with my 28 by 28 again until my birthday (67 more days!) & I didn't plan on doing another 101 in 1001 check in until December when I hit my 1.5 year mark (I just did a post
checking in at the end of June.) However, my life feels so cluttered right now. I've been back in TX for a week now, I moved into my new place this past weekend, & started training at a new job yesterday. Because of all of the chaos I need to do a check in now if only so I can see where I'm at with my goals & get myself back into a routine that will help me accomplish them. (And also because unpacking is completely overwhelming me so I'm procrastinating)
28 by 28
As I mentioned above I have 67 more days until my 28th birthday. That means I have just over 2 months to finish what remains on my list. Lets' start with the positive.
I have 8 goals completed: get into grad school, have a student loan paid off, attend 9 concerts, try 24 new bars/restaurants, don't use credit card for 1 month, spend NYE w/someone special, go to a MLB/NHL/NFL game, & attend Houston/San Antonio/Fort Worth rodeos.
I have 10 goals in progress: cut credit card debt in half, read 15 books, reach goal weight, have $1000 in savings, stick to the 1/48/5 rule, get CHL, learn to play a song on the guitar, no traffic ticket, complete 3 30 day challenges, & learn Spanish.
I have no progress on 9 goals: be in a real relationship, visit a new state, run a 5k, get another tattoo, have tarot read, donate blood, meet a blogger, go horseback riding, & finish 1000 piece puzzle.
That means I've also already failed 1 goal: get CDL
101 in 1001
I still have a little over a year & a half left so I technically still have plenty of time left to complete these, however I also don't want my procrastinating tendencies to get in the way.
