Five things I want to move forward in a major way at work and five things for me or home. Let’s make a list, let’s get it done.That’s the plan. Get out of the slump. I did not do any of it. I did not make a plan, I didn’t get it done, and I did not get out of the slump. In fact, I think it’s fair to say I am deeper in the slump. Soooo… not sure what that means for setting intentions this week. Maybe I should just go with what I had set for last week or maybe I should set nothing since I am failing so miserably.
