It’s Friday again! Did this week fly by for you? It sure did for me. Fast or slow, I hope you had a great one. It’s time to share our weekend to-do lists. If you’re participating in 13 in 13, the weekend is a great time to make progress on your goals. I’d love to hear what to-dos on your list are moving you closer to a goal. Thanks for sharing!
Alright…here’s what’s on tap for me:
Fun
- Run 4 miles. I’ve got six miles done so far this week, to hit my weekly target of 10 for Goal #1. (Goal #1) (Half-check. I ran 2 miles on Friday and “stuff” was hurting so I stopped. Didn’t want to injure myself.)
- Boot camp. This is a maybe. If I can get my run in tonight, maybe I’ll make it to boot camp. (Nope, see above.)
- Project Life. This weekend, it will just be documenting throughout the weekend, and downloading photos on Sunday. (Goal #3.) (Document = check. Download = will happen today.)
- Bake some oatmeal cupcakes. I’ve been dying to try these oatmeal cupcakes for a while, and I have the “perfect” bananas for them. If I put this on my to-do list, I’ll find time to do it. 😉 (This supports a goal that is still percolating….) (Check – not so yummy. Oh well.)
Done
- simplify 101 project. I’m working on a new workshop and its crunch time. Lots to do this weekend on this project. The good news is, it will be fun work. 😉 (Big check here. Lots done, but still lots left to do.)
- Meal plan and grocery shop. (Check!)
- Laundry. (Check!)
Alright! That’s what’s on tap for me. How about you? Thanks for sharing your weekend plans in the comments. Remember to come back to this same post on Monday (or throughout the weekend) to post your updates. I hope you have a fun and productive weekend!
I get your e-mails and I love reading them….I think your stuff!! is great I just don’t quite have the time for classes yet but I’m sure looking forward to one day jumping in and being successful in my whole organizing life!!! keep up the great ideas and fun.
hoping to soon be a student of yours!
sincerely,
Heidi
Thanks for your comment Heidi! It would be great to have you in a workshop, but I’m happy to know that you’re enjoying the emails in the meantime. Thanks for letting me know.

2 – Complete Week 6 Project Life spread and fill is some “missing” spaces from previous weeks.

Done:
1 – Mail a valentine’s birthday present and buy new Heart forever stamps.
2- Weed & organize 6 shelves of books.
3 – Process week’s IN – box to zero.
This list will definitely keep me out of trouble ;-)).

That’s what I need to label my basket – Week’s In Box! Maybe if I did that I would be more motivated to empty it weekly. Thanks for that one!!

I feel so out of the loop. MY loop! Since injuring my wrist last weekend, I haven’t been able to keep up on my stuff like I’d like to. It’s amazing how much you use even your non-dominant hand! It’s starting to mend slowly, so maybe it’s time I slowly work back into my routine.
Done:
Grocery Shop
Misc. Errands
Laundry
Clean kitchen (Kitchen and laundry are a necessary part in Goal #2)
De-clutter closet (part of the process in Goal #5)
Organize planner for next week (a major help in Goal #3)
Fun:
Write (Goal #1) — this wrist injury kinda put me behind in reaching my intermediate goal for the week. I’m not thinking that it’s realistic that I can do a weeks worth of catch-up in one weekend, but I can definitely make progress!
So sorry about your wrist! I can only imagine how much that hinders things!
Done:
Grocery Shop—CHECK
Misc. Errands—CHECK
Laundry—CHECK
Clean kitchen —NOT REALLY. It’s not in bad shape, but I didn’t get done what I wanted to in this regard
De-clutter closet —PARTIAL CHECK. Progress made, but not finished
Organize planner for next week —CHECK
Fun:
Write (Goal #1)— again PARTIAL CHECK. I did do some writing, but the mojo wasn’t flowing and the wrist was making a bit uncomfortable, so I didn’t do much. But I guess progress was made, so that’s good!
And I did get in a lunch with my favorite uncle that I wasn’t anticipating, so it was a good weekend.
Looks like you got lots done considering your wrist – congrats to you. Hope that wrist heals quickly!
Date night with DH
Ball game out of town with family
Read for Bible Study
Church
Declutter in studio 15 minutes
Menu plan for week
Begin detailed budget w/DH for FPU
Insurance paperwork
Rest 🙂
Rachelle – Good luck on your budget! We’re working on a similar financial plan and are finding it fun to work together on our finances (I’ve always done everything myself). My husband and I really keep each other in check now that we meet weekly to discuss our financial ins and outs! And it’s helped with keeping me accountable in doing our weekly menu and grocery budgeting, which means less stress in the long run!
I love that last one…I didn’t do enough of that this weekend.
