Weekly Intention: This week has a few trips to work, a few coaching clients, a few social engagements and some work for the kids’ school. This week, Jake will be traveling. Life is never the same when Jake’s not here. I have a long Monday and Wednesday again. I am hoping things will be a small amount quieter so I can recover more quickly from the longer days. My intention this week is to take it slower than last week. To exercise every day since I will be home for several days. To go hiking even when Jake’s not here. To do math with the boys. To do art. Let’s see how far I can get.
Things I want to get Done: Here’s the list for his week.
- Work: a lot of documentation: metrics, roadmaps, modeling
- Work: a few meetings to understand next steps.
- Work: book some more meetings for next week.
- Work: Book Seattle, now or never.
- Vacation: a few small plans for memorial day
- Summer: Book camps for David (and third for Nathaniel).
- Personal: Come up with exercise plan.
- Personal: Try out 15 mins of art.
- Personal: Do OLW May.
- Family: Pickup N’s book.
- Family: Take photos of me and the boyes.
- Family: Go hiking.
- Family: Make eye doctor appointments.
This month’s intention is: May: Help others Shine: Ok now it’s others’ turn. It’s time to be the mirror to their light so it can reflect off of you. Think of ways big and small that you can help people in your life see their own light this month. Smile. Show them how amazing they are. Thank them. So I totally didn’t remember that I’d written that I wanted to make little notes for Nathaniel’s lunch every day. It will have to be the plan for this week!
Ways to Shine this week:
- One: Bold: A few more bold meetings at work. Let’s see what happens.
- Two: Open: Open to new friends this week. Let’s see.
- Three: Heal/Nourish: Here’s to some exercise this week.
I am looking forward to: getting some of this documentation down.
This week’s challenges: Monday and Wednesday will be long and challenging at work. Friday will be challenging personally with a school event, two social events, two pickups and swim class. ugh. And of course the fact that Jake will be gone is the biggest challenge.
Top Goals:
- Work: more documentation. making plans.
- Personal: apparently I couldn’t do exercise last week. can i balance work/notwork a bit better this week?
- Family: kindness this week and patience as I am the only parent here.
I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: remembering what matters most. remembering who I am. remembering to honor my values.
This week, I will say yes to: writing it down. listening. being open.
This week, I will say no to: focusing on my thoughts.
I am worried that: i won’t write enough down. i will continue to be exhausted. i won’t exercise. there will be no solutions. i won’t be done with camps. i will do no art. i am mostly worried about inertia and doing nothing.
This week, I want to remember: that it’s not about how many things i got done. it’s about how much love i gave. that people remember how you make them feel!
