Another month closer to 30…so how have I done this month on my goals?
This was my first full month at work (in some ways, I can’t believe I’ve already been working a full month!), so I’m starting to establish new routines, good and bad. I finished 2 goals (yay!), so I’m now 1/3 of my way done, which is about right.
1. Read the Bible twice through. 1198/2378 chapters = 50%
4. Save $2,000.
I’m within a couple hundred dollars of this goal, and will get their this month. Yay!
5. Publish The Journal. Completed 12/26/2011
6. __________. (find a new job) Completed 12/28/2011
9. Read 160 books. 64/160 = 40%
10. Read 5 classics. Completed 2/20/2012
Finished C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces this month, completing this goal way ahead of schedule.
12. Work a polling place during an election. Completed 10/11/2011
13. Sell 100 copies of The Journal. 10/100 = 10%
It’s only $0.99 for an ebook. Wouldn’t you like to help me to my goal?
14. Cut caffeine down to only one Diet Dr Pepper a week.
So not working on this right now. Why? Because I’m working at a place that gives me free Diet Dr Pepper…all I have to do is walk into the break room and grab one. Let’s parse that sentence for a moment: “I’m working at a place that gives me free Diet Dr Pepper.” Yeah, I see that as a double blessing, too. So while I would like to cut down on the caffeine and chemicals, let’s push this until later, shall we?
16. Make an author website. Completed 12/20/2011
19. Spend time on Yom Kippur fasting, praying, and thinking. Completed 10/7/2011
20. Decorate my apartment for Christmas. Completed 11/25/2011
21. Meet my niece. Completed 12/27/2011
22. Write in my journal 100 times. Completed 2/23/2012
Done, but still journaling. Have accidentally skipped a few times this month and hadn’t realized it until the next day. But I do want to make this a daily habit, within reason.
23. Make a baby blanket for Bean. Completed 11/9/2011
25. Write 70 encouraging letters or emails. 10/70 = 14%
Still behind, but at least I wrote a batch of letters that boosts my numbers.
30. Read the Qur’an and the Book of Mormon.
I’ve finished the Qur’an and have started the Book of Mormon.

You’re doing great!
Awesome audacious goals!! I had read the Bible all the way through on my list and I am still working on it! So I can’t imagine being able to get through it twice very quickly. And I LOVE all your other goals too! And wow you are in Raleigh too? So glad I stumbled across your blog today!
