October Goals

This is what I have managed to achieve:

Get myself Organized. (Not done, though when I reset this challenge I need to be more specific about what I need to do)

Keep working on the flat. (I have been doing this)

Keep working on the shed.(I have spend some time in there getting stuff cleared out)

I could have done a lot better. I really need to get myself organized and motivated. I think for next month there will only be a single challenge so I can devote more time to doing it.

Clearing the clutter

I decided this morning that as the bucket was being emptied that I would have a quick scout around and get rid of anything that I could do.

I had enough time to have a quick look in the shed and I managed  to get rid of three black bags worth of stuff. I had a quick look at what I was getting rid of and there did not seem to be anything worth keeping.

I am really pleased that I did that. I had set myself the goal of getting that shed cleared by September. the summer was not a good one for me and I ended up doing nothing. So I am glad just to have made some progress. I am so much looking forward to the day when it is all gone.

The paper bucket gets emptied next week so I have to sort through the pile that is in the kitchen. I will set myself the goal of doing that tomorrow.

Quest journal

A while ago I decided to make myself a quest journal.

I decided to do this as I like completing quests in computer games. One of the things that I liked seeing was the progress I had made when it was written out in my quest journal and then seeing it when it was complete, along with the amount of quests that I had completed.

I decided that I should also do this for real life. It would give me a chance to see what I had achieved , and while I would not be given a reward at the end of the quest I would get the same satisfaction from completing the quest.

I had not used my journal for a while but I have started thinking about it recently. I had a look for it where I thought it was but it was not there. Thankfully last night I found it (when my pendulum had predicted that I would find it)

I will set myself the task of getting my quest journal in order and then setting myself some new quests.

I think it will be a good thing for me as I was very happy when I found it (like the journal itself was a good positive thing to have) and from what my tarot reading said about the next six months I am going to need all of the positivity possible.

Finding motivation

Recently. Well actually since the start of the summer holidays I have been lacking motivation. I have been finding it far too easy to put off jobs.

But now what I want to do and what I need to do have now stacked up into such a pile that I am totally overwhelmed and that has lead me to do none of them.

I think what I need to do is make out a list of what I want to do and what I need to do and then work through them one at a time.

Now all I need to do is get the motivation to write out the list...argg it is never ending (well that is the way it seems)

I am going to contact a magazine that I have been reading and ask if there is a spell to help me with my motivation. I will set myself the goal of doing that tomorrow.
